HELP

WOOHOOOOO....must have done something right.I got a network running address in the terminal thing
-
i put the m115 thing in and got more good news saying
-
Well when you send
ls /dev/tty.*
you get a result that will look like/dev/tty.usbmodem1411
Copy that bit.Then send
screen /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 115200
except where it says.usbmodem1411
you would paste the bit you just copied from the last result. -
There ya go, looks like you are connected.
Now if you send M552 you should get an ip address back. Put that IP address in the address bar of your browser to connect to the web interface.
At that point you should probably update your firmware.
Download this zip file. Don't extract it.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip
In the web interface, go to the system tab and there will be a button on the right side that says upload system files. upload that zip file as is, and it will update everything and then reboot.
Once that's out of the way you'll need a config file set from here: Choose your board and firmware 2.03-2.05 and enter your printer specifics as best you can.
https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start
At the end you'll get the option to download your config files as a zip file. Upload that zip file like you did with the firmware zip file to the same place in the web interface and then you can get to commissioning and testing that everything works.
At that point you might find this guide helpful: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/Ender+3+Pro+and+Duet+Maestro+Guide+Part+3:+Commissioning/39

i did get an ip address i just cut it off the top off the screen
it says network running ip address =192.168..... -
few more thing before i leave you alone for the day and do all my home work on the firmware
web interface????
and can this be powered down usb disconnected for the evening and it will be there tomorrow -
if you put M552 S1 in your config.g file it should work the same tomorrow, if not you'll have to enter M552 S1 to enable networking (or put it into the config.g file).
the web interface will be there as long as the networking is enabled, either by sending M552 S1 or including it in config.g
-
Also, since your IP address is being issued to you by your router under a timed lease, you may not get the same IP address again if you wait a while between connecting.
This is where logging into your router web interface and setting a DHCP reservation for the Duet IP address comes in.
Alternatively you can set a static IP address on the duet using M552 P192.168.whatever however you should choose an IP address that is outside of the range of addresses that the router uses to lease out, otherwise you may someday get a collision where the router assigns the IP address you've decided to use for the Duet to something else as well.
Having a bit of familiarity with your router is important. Usually the manual for the router can get you sorted out.
-
if network and client computer support mdns you could access it as http://duet.local/ independent of the IP.
( if you changed
M550
in config.g to something other than duet, then use that name instead
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M550_Set_Name ) -
still don't think things a completely right.I don't see the duet anywhere in the router web interface
-
Well if the Duet has an IP address then it's got to be in there somewhere. Check for DHCP.
-
Well i managed to get up to step 11 this morning
got an to assign me an address went the DHCP route. Searched the ip it gave me and found the DWC and am in there poking around.
Not to confident on this step -
I think you're well on your way.
-
Down to the last step now checking M554 and M553 Gateway and Netmask ip.Found
the Netmask its good and for the life of me can't find the Gateway ip?
Cuz i don't know what that is -
if you used dhcp you don't need to set gateways and netmasks; if you decided to use a static ip then you should probably match the netmask and gateway of your computer connected to the same router
-
Well thank you......it says i am done. Guess i should shut it down and see if it will reconnect . On the DWC in the upper left corner it says Duet Test with a little box and the word off in a red box.whats this for and what's it indicating

We'll thats another problem the whole way i am sending this has changed since yesterday.
I can't attach any pics and when i hit reply it changes to a full blank page not the way it was yesterday with a small window at the bottom of the page and you could still see the chats above the reply you are typing.Dont know if i touched something i shouldn't have -
Hmm, I'm not sure. Has your browser been zoomed in or something like that?
The reply window box has a little black up down arrow at the top left you can use to grow and shrink it.
-
BINGO...zoom out and all is well
