Duet3 Diag constantly flashing
-
Hi guys,
yesterday night I powered off my printer after finishing a print. Today when I switched it back on, I couldnt connect to the DWI. I tried to restart 2 or 3 times, but nothing happend. Then i checked the Diag LED and its constantly flashing.
Changed SD card to backup - still the same issue.
I then connected to Prontaface and M115:
SENDING:M115
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.1.1 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v0.6 or 1.0 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-05-19b2
So firmware/bootloader is ok, I guess?!
Anyone had that problem before?
Edit: Runniny in standalone btw, sorry.

flashing 1hz is indicative the firmware is working as it should (however flashing red light might not be the best choice for a "ok" status)
if you get a response to
m115as shown it confirms the firmware is ok; would suggest the problem is the configuration or network. -

steps 6 through 9 might help

(guide is for duet 2, but should be more or less the same for duet 3 stand alone)

But i didnt change anything.
i forgot to tell, that the "old" SD card, wouldnt show up in windows.

Ok, now Im not getting timeouted, instead:
Your Duet rejected the HTTP request: page not found
Check that the SD card is mounted and has the correct files in its /www folder -
And after a reboot - timeouted again.
-
sounds like the backup card doesn't have the duet web control files on it.
download and extract to /www on the sd card.
https://github.com/Duet3D/DuetWebControl/releases
(and its not a timeout, its a http 404 not found error)

Isnt the /www included if i download the .zip from DWI? Maybe my problem is, that I'm trying to upload without the www and sys?

no.

how are you uploading the files without a functioning DuetWebControl? you probably need to copy the files onto the sd card from your computer (into the correct folder, which may or may not need to be created if it doesn't exist)

Sorry, by uploading I meant via SD card. And you were right, but not only the DWI was missing. The whole SD card deleted itself. I dont know how that happend with a pretty new card.
The old card doesnt even show up in windows. Do you have any ideas/experience on that?
I got it back up and running so far, but i dont have a backup of my macros.
Any tipps on maybe recovering the old one?Maybe a hint in the documentation about file structure and how to "rebuild" a SD card if one fails would be nice. (What i did is, just throwing the unzipped config onto the card and putting it back into the printer - now I can tell you: "that doesnt work" haha)

you could google fat32 recovery but odds are slim.

Sadly i dont get my PC to detect the card.
But thanks to your help, I got all up and running again. (and I have a backup now!

I believe that was the first result in google; and I was trying to make a point ...

Yes, i know. I didnt google for SD card, but for the problem in my words. And I did not find this... So my idea was just to help others who might be thinking the way I was. But anyways, thanks for your help-

@Lanovar Links to that SD card page are all over the documentation, including on the first page and in the troubleshooting section. I've added a link here, too: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Getting_Started_With_Duet_3#Section_Running_in_standalone_mode
