Zero upload capability

[dc42]

I am guessing that you have seriously mismatched versions of the main firmware, wifi firmware and DuetWebControl. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware?revisionid=HEAD#Section_How_to_recover_if_the_main_firmware_and_WiFi_firmware_versions_get_out_of_step_on_your_Duet_2_WiFi.

I recommend you use main firmware (Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin) 2.02, wifi firmware (DuetWiFiServer.bin) 1.23, and DuetWebControl 1.22.6.

@dc42 Awesome dc, thank you. Ill give that a go.

@dc42 I updated to the versions you listed and no change, still cannot complete an upload with any type of file. I then updated firmware to your newest release 2.03rc5 and still no ability to complete an upload. I say "complete" because when it comes to uploading an update in .zip format it seems to upload certain files but then it always stops at the same ones to report an error.

@dc42 Can i send files through the usb?

[dc42]

My guess is that the WiFi module isn't getting a strong enough signal. When you send the M122 command, what WiFi signal strength does it report?

Have you tried setting your router to a different WiFi channel?

Sending files over USB is possible, but slower than sending them over WiFi when the signal strength is sufficient.

@dc42 Tried to edit a gcode file stored on the mc and this was the result.

Prior to any of the recent updating that you suggested it would just delete the file. It still deleted the file but it also appears to have corrupted dwc. I say that because unless i pull the card and reinstall dwc it wont work. Also, not sure if this is normal but the installation of dwc only unpacks the js folders zip which also happens to be one of the ones it errors when trying to update as a package through wifi.

Looks like it failed to load the CSS file. If you refresh the browser tab, it may display OK. But I think your WiFi signal strength probably needs to be improved, see my previous response. There is a page about WiFi connectivity in the Troubleshooting section of the wiki.

@dc42
It sits less than a meter away from its own dedicated Gbit router and i can use dwc its only uploads that tend to piss it off.

-41dBm is a very good signal strength. I still think it's still worth trying a different WiFi channel. You could also try reducing the router power just in case the signal is too strong - I don't think I've seen a reported signal strength as high as that before.

If that doesn't help, perhaps the WiFi module is faulty. If you want to swap the Duet, I will approve a replacement under warranty, assuming it's a genuine UK-manufactured Duet.

@dc42 Ok sure, ill have a look at that wiki but would it behave in this manner because it isnt getting a strong signal? deleting...corrupting and such? The wifi antenna is pointing directly at the router with no obstructions less than 3 feet away.

This is a shot of the www directory after it corrupted dwc for attempting to edit gcode. noticed that js directory is empty.

[dc42]

Uploading a file will delete any previous file with the same name. If the upload fails then you should never get a corrupted file because the partially-uploaded file will be deleted.

@dc42 Well its never successfully uploaded anything that ive wanted it too so i havent seen that. That installation of dwc in the www dir was manual pc to card and M997 S2 once back in the boards card slot. I really dont get the impression there is a hardware issue because everything works hardware wise. It connects to its network, prints, tunes, responds to code, communicates to any terminal ive tried. It just gets pissed when i ask it to upload.

[FormFab]

@formfab

If it responds to a terminal, for example YAT then that would demonstrate upload capability correct? lol Im a machinist not a network engineer so apologies if that is a silly question.

As you have already tried several different SD cards, I suspect either a hardware issue with the WiFi module, or an incompatibility between the ESP12S WiFi module and your router.
