DuetWiFiFirmware minor release 1.15e

pkm

Hello, I'm not sure if it's a firmware or DWC bug, so I report it here.
If a delta printer is not homed and G-code has no G28, error messages just don't stop and flood all over the screen until the print is cancelled.

Also, I had a situation when a 16MB G-code for a 10hrs print was not uploaded (or saved) completely, but I did not know that and run the code. I discovered the problem when the print was 2/3 ready. Luckily I was near the printer and could make a new code for the top of the model and run it right after the printing stopped… So, is it possible to verify file size or checksum when uploading?

PS: I have DuetWiFi

im having problmes updating firmware
heres what is installed
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet WiFi
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.15e (2016-10-02)
WiFi Server Version: 1.02
Web Interface Version: 1.13

when i try to update the wifi server it say error could not rename file
now when i try to update any it all say error could not rename file error
im going to try and wipe the sd card and install from the download zip file
the reason i want to wipe out sd card is i have a lot of double files and want to clean it up
run defaults and again and re setup printer with setting

No need to do that just follow the Backup procedure no3 from the Wiki the reason you are having probs is because DWC 1.13 is not compatable with FW 1.15e. (I fell into the same trap had an issue and tried to roll back leaving DWC at 1.13 and had the same issue) I believe you can copy the Firmware file after renaming it to the correct format to the /SYS folder on the SD card boot up the Duet WiFi and send M997 S0 from the console but I can't confirm this has I havent done it that way?

Edit for correct backup procedure number

Files needed on the sd card: https://duet3d.com/wiki/SD_card_folder_structure

cap

thanks stephen
file system is as follows

(d;)
gcodes
macros
sys
sys-CoreXY

all folder copyed off the SDimagefinal.zip from https://github.com/T3P3/Duet/blob/master/DuetWifiv1.0/SDimageFinal.zip
now i am still playing but not having any sucesess getting repetier to talk to the board

Re-doing the SD card image is not going to help here you need to follow the guide for Emergency Backup procedure from the Wiki in order to get FW 1.16 onto the board

https://duet3d.com/wiki/Updating_main_firmware Try Backup Procedure no 1 first and if that doesn't work try no 3. (no 3 worked for me when I had the same issue last week)

HTH

thanks dougal i was trying that but i formatted my sd card and i believe if i do not put the right information back onto the SD card the other steps wont work

cap

i think i have the sd card correct on step 3 ive conected done the flash compared the file and on the execute all i get is
sam-ba 2.16 1 %

dose it take are long time are is it done ..
edit nope it was quick and looked like nothing happened but after i hit reset bottom it worked fine

cap

yes hit reset bottom connected with repetier host and now its talking thanks for the pointers

cap

ok sweet just need to re setup my printer now here what it now reads
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet WiFi
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.15b (2016-08-25)
WiFi Server Version: 1.02
Web Interface Version: 1.13
whats the recommended updates now i am back to defaults

Dougal1957

You may be back to what you think are defaults however you will still have to go thru the upgrade for the FW as I have pointed you towards due to DWC 1.13 NOT BEING COMPATABLE WITH FW BEFORE 1.16B10 I think it is you need to upgrade your FW to 1.16 (Release) at the very least (Use the Latest release Version for DC42's Github)
https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Release/Duet-WiFi/Stable
then upgrade the Duet Wifi server and it appears your Duet Web Control is at the latest version.

HTH Again

Doug

Edit Sorry I hadn't seen your answers yes ok so you will have to do the Samba bit again to get 1.16 or 1.17dev1 onto the board so that the DWC will work correctly for you?

cap

well they say repation is good for the memory lol
so samba 1.17DEV1
ill make sure to read the update notes more carefully from here on in
ill stick with the stable stuff so 1.16 for me

cap

ok thanks guys 1.16 installed and running and a nice clean sd card thanks Dougal1957 and not forgetting StephenRC

Dougal1957

You are more than Welcome no where near the Expert that David is but If I can point in the right direction then I will try (even if I don't get it 100% right every time lol)
