Duet 2 Maestro - no ethernet connectivity LEDs
-
I have had the D2 Maestro for 3-4 months sitting in the box. Just yesterday got to setting up the board with an Ender 3 (non pro). So far I have determined that this is not a cable issue, nor an sd card issue... as I have swapped both out for known working parts. Hooked up to Linksys wrt 1200 ac router. no activity lights on the router, nor on the board by the Eth connection. I did hook up board via usb to lappy and set up the network. In YAT, says network enabled. When I try to connect to web interface, nothing... which isn't a surprise since activity leds are not appearing. not that it matters, but in the router admin, there is no device for the board showing.
also, I have noticed that the network ip I set will not save... as it resets to 0.0.0.0 after no power.

Unless you're assigning a static open config.g it won't save as such across powerloss.
A handful of posts have shown some network equipment fail to auto-negotiate the link speed with Maestro boards. If possible set the link speed to 10 or 100 for the port in question, or try connecting directly to your computer, and set the link speed there is it doesn't just-work(tm)
Edit: one user reported auto-negotiation taking a long time, like several minutes, so leaving it to figure it while you have dinner or something might also be worth trying just as a data point.

Please post your config.g and the results of M122.
How is M552 set in config.g?
When you send M552 in YAT, does it reply with an IP address set?
Direct ethernet connection to your laptop and manually setting IP addresses for both devices as bearer suggests would be the best way to verify if the maestro ethernet port is working at all.

okay, thanks for the tips. it was the interface w/ router.. I had an old hub that I hooked it up to and it works great. I have the Linksys WRT 1200 AC... not sure if there is a way I can configure the connection speed with the current firmware. if there is another way other than what I have, let me know.
sorry for late reply, I thought I got email notifs via the site.

There's only 1 connection speed on the Maestro, so there's nothing to configure.
There have been a few isolated reports of auto-negotiation not working quite right with some routers. Not sure what the reason would be though.

Maybe OP meant router firmware?
The Maestro hardware supports both 10 and 100mbit but there isn't any option to disable auto negotiation or select link speed and duplex.
I'm curious, which Reprap Firmware version is OP using? Could be tempted to ask OP to try a build of RRF with fixed 100M Full duplex networking just to see if that makes a difference with the router in question.

okay, so I had the web interface working... but the board would not home properly. This was all working on a D2 Wifi board, so you can see this is very frustrating swapping in another board and it not working properly. when i came back (away for holiday) and tried to diagnose the issue.. the red diag light came on and the web interface stopped pulling up. I went through the steps https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/What_to_do_if_your_Duet_won't_respond. including using yat to try to connect, although it would not give me an "ok" prompt after submitting a command. i honestly just want this thing to work like the wifi did. it was simple and smooth
-
well the wifi and the maestro are different boards. Did the wiring change to suit?
How far exactly did you get in the what to do if your duet won't respond page?
I'm a little confused also, which board are you using right now? Maestro? Can you post your full config.g?
-
I am using the wifi because the maestro won't load and has a "diag" led lit. I am using the default ender 3 pro settings even though I have the non pro.
-
Well decide which you'd like to work on and answer some of the questions from my last post.
Which board, which firmware, how is it wired up, what's the config? What LEDs are lit? Does it respond via USB? That sort of thing.
-
sorry for late reply! I had the schematics up to double check connections to ensure everything was where it needed to be. the endstops never worked correctly despite 3 attempts at configuration. the config file was identical (b/t the wireless and maestro) I am currently printing with the wireless in fact.
as far as the maestro, before the diag led came on, it would load the interface a few times. It wouldn't consistently load after reboots. I had the correct ip address configured in the config file.
-
were the boards using the same firmware version?
post the config?and are we trying to get the maestro work or use the wifi?
-
wifi works fine with latest firmware. I was using the latest from the config site https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start.
if i would have known there would have been issues, i would have purchased the wifi instead ..

Latest could mean different things to different people, some would call 3.2RC4 the latest, others would say it's 3.1.1 - and it doesn't answer the question if you used the same version on both boards.
configtool siste has a lot of options, saying you use the latest falls in the same category - ambiguous at best.
