Duet2 Wifi - Cannot connect to WIFI

[tonyp]

Hello,

I have followed the docs precisely and also forum posts non can seem to help. I'm trying to setup the Duet2 Wifi and it is not accepting my wifi network. I'ts about 1.5M away (Airport Time Capsule on 2.4Ghz).

When I login via screen no problem, it loops horrible on both ubuntu and mac with crazy tabbing. But anyway we connect and then get:

WiFi reported error: no known networks found
WiFi module is idle

After that I run M115 Command and we see:

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.02(RTOS) ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-12-24b1

Great so far so good. Next I try and setup the WIFI noting this is just basic pw to get Duet to work:

M587 S"OPartridge" P"welcome2017"

We then get:

WiFi module is idle
M587: Failed to add SSID to remembered list
ok
Error retrieving WiFi status message: bad reply format version
WiFi module is idle

It's not a networt distance issue as I've also tried putting it ontop of the wifi box.

Just in case.. I try to connect anyway:

M552 S1

Nothing still loads of:
e
WiFi reported error: no known networks found
WiFi module is idle

Anyone have any suggestions here? I was hoping I could just configure via JSON or similar.

How are you sending the commands? Via terminal?

One way to circumvent any weirdness from the terminal garbling your commands is to use a macro which contains the command to add the network, then sending acommand via the terminal to run that macro.

Alternatively you can edit the config.g on your PC to include the network add command. Boot up the board, it runs config.g automatically, the network gets added, then you can remove that line from the config.g.

Also, can you confirm the version of your WIFI server firmware by sending M122. The results of the wifi portion are towards the end.

Hello,

Yep via Terminal. I've done the build online as a try and loaded it to the SD Card But then I get:

WiFi module is idle
M587: Failed to add SSID to remembered list
ok

The M122 Command reports:

WiFi firmware version 1.21
WiFi MAC address cc:50:e3:0d:2b:53
WiFi Vcc 3.38, reset reason Turned on by main processor
WiFi flash size 4194304, free heap 19968
Socket states: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
ok

Forgive me I am a complete Idiot. I had setup the wrong Wifi Name on the router when I changed it. Sorry guys and thanks!
