How do you fly this thing?

Hey,

I recently picked up another Rostock Max (v3.2) on ebay.
First impression of Duet Wifi. Start YAT, wifi connects, status reports an ip address.

It won't connect to the web interface. I can't even ping the ip address. Started following the fallback instructions and I'm totally lost. And now I've deleted the wrong SD card files. I'm unsure which version I was supposed to replace them with anyways.

I'd give anything to swap for a good old LCD panel right about now. Looks like I need to download each file individually from the repository and place them carefully one at a time into the appropriate folder. WHY ARE THERE NO PRE_BUILT SD CARD IMAGES !?!

TLDR; Is there a way to download the whole set of files instead of one by one?

Let's see if we can get you back on track here.

You'll find a bit of info on what the files are here, as well as a link to a download of the default SD card files that come with the board.

But really you should use the web configurator to generate a full config file set for your machine.

What point are you currently at? Did the fallback procedure work? That's really a last resort. How far did you get?

To further answer, there are no prebuilt sd card images because the SD card really only has configuration files on it and space for gcode files. The config files are going to be unique to your machine so will need to be generated either by hand or with the web configurator.

The firmware itself lives on the board once it's updated, the bin files on the SD card are only there so they can be written to the board and then remain as a backup.

Doing some quick googling I was able to find an example configuration guide that might help you out with the specifics for that printer.

It wasn't readily apparent from the SeeMeCNC site, but I found it here:

Thanks for your assistance.
