Duet Wifi - Ethernet, w genuine ethernet module.

DocTrucker

Hi all,

Aquired a duet wifi from ebay (genuine from ooznest originally) that has had it's wifi removed because that failed. Got an ethernet module from Ooznest arrived today, is it as simple as solder on the new module, adjust config, and power up?

Thanks!

yeah, asuming there isn't anything wrong with the duet in the first place.

(shouldn't actually have to adjust config, the ethernet uses the same M552 S1 command to enable networking)

@DocTrucker The ethernet module is usually plugged in to some soldered-on headers (where the WiFi chip goes) and has a couple of standoffs. Is Oozenest supplying them, too? Otherwise yes, should be straightforward, and what @bearer said!

Great! Will try to sort it out this evening then. The kit has the headers and plastic stand-offs with it.

Would have normally order direct from Duet3D, but I guess that may even inconvenience them more than using resellers!

the low profile female header as well?

DocTrucker

@bearer sure I saw one through the bubble wrap. Would be frustrating is one is missing! I think the ethernet module that Duet3D offer was intended for those looking to convert Duet WiFi to ethernet.

Yes, it is supplied with the socket strips and standoffs. https://www.duet3d.com/DuetAddons/DuetEthernet_Module

All sorted now thanks. I managed to goose the firmware update, but sorted with a little bossac. Talking via ethernet / DWC now. Rewire a little more involved than a simple unplug and plug.

Getting this setup for RRF 2.05, then will look at guides for converting the config files for RRF 3. Still got the Duet3 to set up but the target machine got diverted to running on a 0.8.5, so waiting on another machine build, which is underway slowly!

Getting an example config set from the web tool to compare against is a good first step.

DocTrucker

Tested all axis this morning and all fine, so just down to extendng some wires, PT100 test, fan check, tuning, then finally swap to RRF3.

All in about £85 with some soldering. I'm happy with that!

@Phaedrux yes thanks, that was my planned step one. I haven't used the config generators for some time so I was planning on a default set for RRF2 to compare to what I have now so I can transfer any extras that I have added to the defaults to the autogenerated RRF3 config. Should be fairly normal aside from the reasonably common twin z motors with gantry levelling. Don't anticipate much of an issue, just a bit of learning a new language!

DocTrucker

Running RRF 3.1 now, less fuss than I expected just an issue with the bed temp sensor and figuring out how to use a NC inductive probe on the zstop input. I suspect easy fixes, just ran out of time.

I'll repeat the safety checks that I did on RRF1 on this system once I've established it is running well.

@DocTrucker does it report as an Duet Ethernet or WiFi in M122? Always wondered where this is set, but I expect it checks peripherals before setting one or the other.

(I often check my peripherals before deciding one way or the other!)

DocTrucker

@droftarts that'll be the function calls;

lift_skirt();
what_am_i_packing();

I'll check later!

droftarts

@DocTrucker always declare your variables!

Ian

DocTrucker

@droftarts Touché! Think it's best I exit this skit before I get myself in trouble.

Will report what it identifies as later.

DocTrucker

@droftarts Here you are:

Spoiler; it identifies as a Duet Ethernet.

@DocTrucker great, thanks. So it does look at the available hardware to report this. Nice.
