Setup Issue

Jroliver

Hi,

I have been setting up my Duet3D to run with my CNC Workbee. set up was going well and i was connected to the web interface prior to the final upload of system settings with the change of IP (from 192.168.1.14 to 192.168.2.14 ). However since this i cannot connect to the Duet through my ethernet on the old or new IP and when i check though YAT on the USB i get the following:

"Network is enabled, configured IP address: 0.0.0.0, actual IP address: 0.0.0.0<LF>ok<LF>"

Any hints as to how i can undo my last update or re-set and try again would be a great help.

Thanks

It's telling you that the configured IP address is 0.0.0.0 which means that the Duet will ask your router to allocate an IP address. If it's not connected to your router but instead you have a direct connection to your PC, or if you want to allocate a static IP address, edit the M552 command in /sys/config.g on the SD card. Example:

M552 P192.168.2.14 S1

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes i had already changed the config.g file even amended to match you example excactly i have no change:

( ; Network
M550 PWorkBee CNC Machine ; Set machine name
M552 P192.168.2.14 S1 ; Enable network
M586 P0 S1 ; Enable HTTP
M586 P1 S0 ; Disable FTP
M586 P2 S0 ; Disable Telnet )

Somehow that M552 command isn't being actioned. Are you sure that there isn't another M552 command later in the file?

Not that i can see, this is a copy of the full config.g file:

and this is all the files in /sys:

How is your local network configured? Changing from x.x.1.14 to x.x.2.14 means you want to use another subnet. If you dont have some fancy router with multiple subnets, then your duet might not connect to network if gateway is in another subnet.

@aidar

Network for Ethernet Connection is set up as shown:

aidar

i see, then you address with 2.14 should be valid, so....
Just guessing here, but maybe you should try to configure gateway in your config.g with M554?

dc42

Perhaps there is a non-printing character in that M552 line. Or perhaps config.g isn't being read at all. Try sending this from YAT:

M552 S0
M98 Pconfig.g

Does it produce any error messages? If not, what does YAT report if you then send M552?

Jroliver

Er....

I ran the code M554 through YAT it came back with 0.0.0.0 again, so i deleted the line M552 and re-entered it as M554 and the rest. When i tested it through YAT it came back with the correct IP but would still not connect to the web interface. So i re-set it as M552 and tested it again with YAT just to be sure... however this time it worked!

I have no idea what it was, but can only assume I did something foolish or as you say by deleting and re-writing i removed a non-printing character.

In any case, i am very grateful for your help and can only apologise if i have wasted your time.

Many thanks,
