Duet2 wifi Not connecting
-
@Tisum1979 said in Duet2 wifi Not connecting:
WiFi firmware version 1.23
Ok, at least we got that flashed now.
Does your wifi password include any special characters or capital letters?
It might be a good idea to set up some macros to make wifi trouble shooting a bit easier.
You can download those and use a text editor to edit them to match your own SSID and password.
Then put them on the SD card in the /macros folder.
Then you can execute them with M98 P"MACRONAME"
or you can just use the text of them as a guide on what to type in the USB terminal. The nice thing about the macro for the wifi SSID and password is that it avoids the problem of the USB terminal altering the password being sent.

This is what was said when I sent M997 S1- M997 S1<LF>
M997: File DuetWiFiServer.bin not found<LF>
ok<LF> -
I feel like I am banging my head against a wall. I went to the link you sent me and downloaded then transfered over to the sd card sys. file but it didn't ask if I wanted to replace existing files.
-
It must have found it at some point if M122 says you're using version 1.23 now.
-
I just typed in M122 and it shows the version is 1.23
-
Now that you have the wifi server updated, try sending these commands over USB terminal:
M552 S0; Disable network module
M588 S"*"; Clear all saved wifi networks
M587 S"NETWORKNAME" P"PASSWORD"; add your network
M552 S1; enable wifi module -
Keep in mind I am green at this so I don't understand some of the terms used or if I am downloading the correct things
-
No problem. If there's anything you're unsure of, just ask for clarification.
-
My SSID had upper and lower case letters is that an issue
-
Should I use all upper or lower case letters for my password
-
Upper and lower case in the SSID isn't a bit deal, but if you are using upper and lower case in the password you should read the notes here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode?revisionid=HEAD#Section_M587_Add_WiFi_host_network_to_remembered_list_or_list_remembered_networks
Many programs used to send GCodes convert all characters to uppercase. In firmware 1.19.2 and later, within any quoted string you can use a single-quote character to indicate that the following character should be changed to lowercase. For example, M587 S"ABC" P"P'A'S'SW'O'R'D" would specify that the password is "PassWord". Use two single quote characters to represent one actual single quote character in the password or in the SSID. For example, if your SSID is "Pete's network" then enter "Pete''s network".
The use of special characters in the SSID cannot be guaranteed to work. In general it's best to avoid most special characters. Spaces, periods, dashes, underscores, and other punctuation is likely ok, but special characters on the number keys likely are not safe. (@#$%^&*). If you are having troubles adding your SSID, try a simplified version with only letters and numbers.
This is why I suggest using a macro to enter the SSID and password, so that it doesn't matter.

I did what you said above and entered in my SSID and password which was all lower case with number and it loaded OK. I sent M552 S1 and then M122 while the command was trying to connect and this is what I got-- WiFi -<LF>

Ok, so it seems like it's trying to connect, but can't. To eliminate the problem being with the wifi module, let's try setting it up in access point mode. This will verify that the wifi module is working, and confirm that you can connect to it. That would mean that the problem is with your wifi network, whatever that may be.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode?revisionid=HEAD#Section_M589_Configure_access_point_parameters
Take a look at that link. Basically you will be telling to Duet to create its own access point, and then you will connect your device (your PC) to that access point.
Then you should be able to access the web interface from your browser by going to the IP address you set when you configure it.
-
Ok this is a stupid question. I have typed in M589 and the SSID and Password, in the example it shows a verticle line does that need to be in there before I type in the IP address
-
That vertical line is actually the capital letter
i -
Ok and is there a space between the IP address and the C1? what is C1
-
Yes there is a spaxe between the address and the C1. You can leave the C1 off entirely. It sets the wifi channel (1-13) default is 1 and should be fine for our test.
-
ok so do I just type the 552 S1 now
ok so this is my resaults- M589 S"MySpectrumWiFiF8-2G" P"abigail2011" I192.168.1.1 C1<LF>
ok<LF>
M552 S1<LF>
ok<LF>
WiFi reported error: Failed while trying to connect to MySpectrumWiFiF8-2G<LF>
WiFi module is idle<LF>
WiFi reported error: Failed while trying to connect to MySpectrumWiFiF8-2G<LF>
WiFi module is idle<LF> -
I don't understand why it's not connecting
-
Ok, let me try explaining again.
What we want to do is use the M589 command to create a NEW wifi network that is coming from the Duet itself. You'll then connect to THAT network from your computer.
So try this, send
M589 S"DuetWifi" P"abigail2011" I192.168.1.1Then send
M552 S2Now on your computer you will have to look for the wifi network called DuetWifi and connect to that using the password you just set.
Then in your browser go to 192.168.1.1 which should open to the Duet web interface if everything is working.
