Duet 2 Ethernet IP address keeps flashing on display.

btw, here are the firmware settings I've configured"

Perhaps @dc42 has other ideas. My money is on the module. Let us know what you find.

[TheIndianDude]

@Phaedrux Will do. Thanks! Also, the Z-Bot printer looks badass. I'm programming this board for what will eventually become a Hypercube CoreXY. For now it's an upgrade for my CR-10S to which I've added linear rails and converting to a 24V system.

[Phaedrux]

Thanks. It's served me well.

Try removing the Ethernet cable while it is in this loop, then send M122 from YAT and post the result.

[TheIndianDude]

And of course it's not happening anymore... I formatted the SD card instead of just deleting the folders and then reloaded RRF3.2.2. After plugging in through USB, the network issue hasn't popped up yet. Though I haven't put the config_override.g file in the sys folder yet. Let me try that and start up the board again.

[TheIndianDude]

Lol... it happened just as I submitted my previous post.... Here's the M122 log from YAT (scroll through the network address messages for a bit)

M122 log.txt

Your Ethernet state is: Interface state establishingLink, link down
Mine (Duet2/Ethernet) is: Interface state active, link 100Mbps full duplex

Do you see the connection-state (not traffic) light blinking on the Ethernet connector.

Do you have a different Ethernet cable you can try?

[TheIndianDude]

I tried multiple cables, as that was the first thing I thought of as well. The yellow light is solid on the port when this happened and the green (traffic) light is flickering

[TheIndianDude]

I do have an 8 port switch between my router and the board, so maybe I'll have to see what's going on there?

[TheIndianDude]

I changed to a third cable and this time, the board went into the loop and then restarted. Here's the M122 after restart:

And it's not connecting to the network anymore. When this happened last time, I had to keep the board turned off for about 10 minutes and then try again and it connected to the network.

[alankilian]

Do you have any "Cold spray"?
Maybe it's your Ethernet interface chip getting too hot?

[TheIndianDude]

@alankilian I don't, but I have tiny heatsinks that came with my DRV8825 stepper drivers back when I was using RAMPS on my 3d printer. Let me try that.

[TheIndianDude]

The network isn't connecting right now and the yellow link status light on the ethernet port is blinking periodically.

[TheIndianDude]

I reconnected the board after putting on the heatsink on the ethernet interface chip and the network connected. Then it fritzed out 3 minutes later. I'm running out of options here....I've got a replacement Duet Ethernet board on the way. I think I'll test the new board once it arrives and use that if that works... This is beyond frustrating...

[Argo]

@TheIndianDude

When the network isn’t reachable have you already hooked it up with a usb connection and send M552 to check the status of the network module?

[TheIndianDude]

@Argo said in Duet 2 Ethernet IP address keeps flashing on display.:

e have you already hooked it up with a usb connection and send M552 to check the status of the network m

Yes, and M552 shows Network is enabled, configured IP address: 0.0.0.0, actual IP address: 0.0.0.0

This is despite the link status light on the port lit up steadily (amber) and the traffic light (green) flickering.

[Argo]

@TheIndianDude

If then M552 S0 to disable the network and M552 S1 P<ipadress> doesn’t change anything my bet would also be a defective ethernet module.

[TheIndianDude]

That's what I think as well. I just downgraded to firmware 2.05.1 and am having the same issue. I'll get a replacement ethernet module for this board and try it out. I do have a Duet Ethernet board in the mail, so that will be for my second printer
