@jay_s_uk san disk edge, 8gb
-
@jay_s_uk I just tried using my SanDisk Extreme Pro to see if it was an issue with that and it doesn't seem to be the case. I use that micro sd with my high fps camera so read and writes are never an issue.
-
@dessiverse the 8gb one appears to only be a class 4. A class 10 may be better. I suggest trying another as card if you have one.
-
@dessiverse what speeds were you seeing with the extreme?
-
@jay_s_uk
same as before, and dropping since i took that screenshot. it's now down to 6 KIB/s. -
@dessiverse can you grab an M122 output while its uploading with the slower speed?

Maybe one for one of the duet team to comment on?
@Phaedrux -
@jay_s_uk I'm not sure. I am kind of running out of patience with this though if I'm being honest. I was running it in SBC mode for a while because of the speeds, but, I can't use Octoprint with that so I can't use a camera ¯_(ツ)_/¯
-
@dessiverse you know you can run things like motion with the SBC setup for camera usage.
We have some info here https://teamgloomy.github.io/camera.html -
@jay_s_uk I wouldn’t be able to run monitoring software like spaghetti detective though. So I wanted to try to get just the duet working so I can plug my pi into it for octopi. But, I still would need to access the duet panel now and then if I wanna edit any of the files.
-
@dessiverse there are also some features of the firmware that are only available when printing from the sd card (i.e. not streamed from octoprint).
You can see them here https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Firmware_Overview?revisionid=HEAD#Section_Printing_over_USB_connection_Octoprint_Cura_Simplify3D_Etc -
@jay_s_uk I'm aware of those. I normally print on the SD Card over Octoprint anyway, but I can't communicate with the sdcard using Octoprint with this board. Which is back to why I need WiFi working so I can upload to the SD card via the duet dashboard.
-
SBC mode is no longer working. I assume that's due to the beta firmware that was installed. Can someone please help with this? My printer is now entirely unusable.
-
To use the beta firmware on the duet and SBC mode the SBC would need to be updated to the beta as well.
So either return the Duet back to 3.2.2 to match the version installed on the pi, or add the unstable repository to the pi and then update again.
See here for more details on adding the unstable branch.

As for the slow wifi speeds it's a bit perplexing as the signal strength seems good and the SD card should be fine.
I notice you mentioned you have some pis in close proximity on wifi that work ok. Does powering off those pis have any improvement? Perhaps interference?
-
@phaedrux I’ve tried that with no luck.
I’ve also tried in other areas with no luck as well -
Can you try setting it up in Access Point mode where the duet creates a network which you then connect to and test the speeds that way?

-
@phaedrux I can try that, yeah give me a few minutes

Hi so I tried this, and the SSID isn't broadcasting, I also tried a direct connection rather than just browsing for one. It also disconnected from my network so I can no longer connect.
