Duet Wifi not detected
-
Hi,
I recently received my Duet Wifi 3D board, and wanted to have a first look at it today.
I tried to configure the network using the instructions on that page: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.)+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7Unfortunately, my board isn't recognized on my macbookpro.
The 3 leds 3.3v, 5v and usb are lit.
I also tried to power it from an external power supply before connecting the usb, but with no more results.
What else can I check?
Thank you very much,
nick

Thank you very much for the answer. I just tried it. I now also have the "diag" led lit, but still nothing showing up when going for ls /dev/tty.*
-
Have you tried using a different USB cable?
-
Hi,
yes, I tried that too
-
Is this relevant https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/9796/no-usb-connection-on-macbook-duet-2-wifi-first-start ?
Also, I have a feeling that you may need ls /dev/tty* without the '.'.

Just tried both (/de/tty*) and looking directly in the /dev/ folder, and nothing appears

Hi,
Apparently it's my macbook that must be the problem.. I tried connecting it to a friend's pc, and I got the bossa port.... Which enabled me to load the firmware..
Is there any way to setup the wifi connection other than the serial method?
thanks
-
open a terminal and issue the dmesg command after the usb connection.
there should be some information regarding the usb connection.

You can set up the wifi connection on your friend's PC if you know the SSID and password for your network. Both are case sensitive.

Hi,
Sorry for the very long delay, I haven't had time to retry the board and try to finally setup my board to revive my printer. Just came back to it after a black friday crazy buy of the hemera setup.
I tried to get the board to work again, on a windows 7 pc that time, but I can't get anything else than "the device malfunctioned and windows can't recognize it" so I can't flash the board (it is in recovery mode, with the diag led on)
What did I mess up?
thanks

Windows does that sometime, it appears that it can't handle the speed with which a Duet can reboot. The usual fix is to plug it into another USB port; or if you are using a USB hub, disconnect the hub from Windows and then reconnect it; or reboot Windows.

I tried all 3 of the ports I have on the pc, all do the same... I tried the sd procedure also to reflash the FW, but I can't get the diag led to stay off..

Ok, so I've an other computer today, on another version of windows just to make sure.... And all I can get is "unknown device"
I can't get the damn bossa port to show up
At that point, I don't really know what I'm supposed to do? Is there someone I can send the board to to have it checked or setup?
thank you

Have you installed the Windows device driver? You can download it from https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/Driver/DuetDriverFiles.zip. However, if you've already installed the Windows version of Bossa then I think you should already have a suitable driver installed.
If you display the properties of the unknown device, what VID and PID does it give?

Ok, I finally got the board working! I had to build a custom cable connected directly to the external usb header of the motherboard to get my stupid computer to see it as bossa port..
Firmware flashed, network configured, all good now!Thank you very much for the support!
