Tutorial - running Duet Wifi 2 in Access Point Mode ?

Phaedrux

I'm thinking of it as separate operations which need to be completed independently.

Again pure speculation on my part. That's just what I would try next.

Alright, try this. I think there may be a problem trying to send M558 "*" from config.g

Create a macro called clearnetworks, then in that macro have M588 "*"

Then at the end of config.g include M98 Pclearnetworks

I'm also starting to wonder if this needs to be sent while the network module is active in normal M552 S1 mode.

No S parameter needed for this right - just M588 "*" ....

Phaedrux

Sorry about that. I neglected to include the S in my post above. Syntax would be M558 S"*"

If you know the exact name of the wifi network that needs to be removed, try using the full name.

No Joy - it doesnt load as a visible Wifi Access point that any of my devices can see ... WiFi LED is dead .... just a milliecond flash then dark on boot/reboots.

It only want that damn eprom embedded wifi router .... friggen annoying

SputnikOC3d

set it back to the router with no current net access .... and it reboots and connects to it just fine - it doesnt work ... but it connects to it ....

So the netowrking connectivity to the non functioning network - is embedded on the board and I cant flush it out via the M588 "ANYTHING" command ... other options besides M588 ?

Phaedrux

I dunno... even with other networks remembered it should still be possible to add a new network and connect to it. Do you have another phone to test with?

SputnikOC3d

well thanks for trying ....

hoping some one else stumbles into this thread with a solution I guess

SputnikOC3d

trying to post but stupid akismet is spam blocking me from posting in my own thread ....

Ridiculous ...

Ive now tried this as well - M552 S0 and then restarting it ... Nothing seems to flush this things infernal memory.

M552 S0 ; Disable network
G4 1000 ; Pause Machine for 1000 milliseconds
M552 S1 ; Enable network
M588 S"EC24EA" ; Flush all known networks
M588 S"EC24F0" ; Flush all known networks
M588 S"*" ; Flush all known networks
M587 S"SM-N920PC3B" P"Ninya1" ; Configure access point. Connect to Android Phone Hotspot
;M587 S"EC24EA" P"Ninya" ; Configure access point. Connect to Cox Wifi at 2.4Ghz
;M589 S"DuetWiFi" P"9662" I192.168.1.101 ; Access Point Mode
;M587 S"SMA iPad" P"Ninya2" ; Configure access point. Connect to Apple iPad Phone Hotspot

it still keeps connecting to SSID EC24EA if it is broadcasting/powered on and when it isnt - it just fails and does nothing

Hi,

I'm confused.

To connect the Duet to a "hotspot" you need to use "client" mode (M552 S1).

In this mode you use M587 and M588 to maintain the list of access point SSIDs you wish to connect to.

To allow a client device to connect directly to your Duet you need to use "access point" mode (M552 S2).

In this mode you use M589 to configure the Duet as an access point".

Which are you trying to do?

@fcwilt he's been trying both.

@fcwilt

thank you for your reply. Neither mode - client not access point is working for me. Its stuck in client mode and connecting ONLY to a network that is non functioning [ other than it broadcasting an SSID and taking connections its dns is not functioning ] ... Im trying to get this duet board to operate in either Access Point Mode or ... connect to my phones Hotspot - it refuses to do either

Phaedrux

Can you confirm which firmware and wifi server you're running?

SputnikOC3d

cant get it loaded to tell you - but 1.21 main firmware - wifi module - nto sure let me look at my latest download files

SputnikOC3d

Correction - Im on duet FW 2.0 iirc as it has the RTOS functionality and wifi server 1.21 - specifically what rev of wifi Im not exactly sure - the android app tells me 1.21

In your last example you used M552 S1 before configuring the list of SSIDs. I think you would need to have M552 S1 after the list is correct.

Try this:

M552 S0
M558 S"*"
M557 S"desired_ssid" P"ssid_password"
M552 S1

That has always worked for me when setting a Duet as a WiFi client.
