PanelDue is flashing and Says "Connecting"

pete1961

On my DuetWiFi that was working fine for a long time it now no longer works. Panel due is flashing and says connecting.
I've tried connecting via. terminal, and duet web control as well and cannot connect no matter what I try!

Anyone have any ideas as to what to check for the cause of the problem. I can't even send any commands to check anything!

So you're unable to reach the DWC either?

Does the Wifi module LED light up blue at power up?

Take a look at that page and see how far you can get.

@pete1961 which type of PanelDue is it?

@phaedrux

The Blue Light is light as well as the other lights on the end of the board are light.
Most are Solid Red and 1 is Solid Green. According to the link you sent these all indicate being in a normal state.

What is know is when I use a Mac I can connect with serial tools.
When I use Pronterface it always says connecting. So it is attempting to connect but just doesn't do it.
I'm think something on the Duet Board is corrupted. I can't seem to be able to communicate with it any way I have tried.

Definitely Stumped!

I have the larger Panel Due from about 4 years ago. If there is a model code you need I would have to remove it from the front of my printer to pull any further information.

Is it the integrated version, or does the controller board plug on to the back of the display?

When you connect with serial tools does it respond to commands? If you send M552 does it respond with an IP address? Can you ping that IP address or connect to it in your browser?

It has he controller board plugged into the back of it.

@phaedrux
Cannot ping the address.
Will not accept any M Code Commands.

Does the Duet show up in device manager? Have you tried the firmware erase and reflash with bossa instructions yet?

pete1961

@phaedrux
A working COM port with no errors shows up in the Device Manager when connected via. USB Cable.

Are there instructions on how to re-flash with BOSSA?
Haven't used this method in a number of years.

Yes, see here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware

Making progress.
Re-installed firmware with Bossa. Might not have been necessary because now I can connect via. wifi with Duet Web Control and print normally.
The Panel Due however does not really accept any touch screen input. It does not show any real time information like temperatures either. When I try to access any SD Card it says "Files on Card 0".
I'm thinking something is wrong with the panel due.
I can access 3D Print Files on the card of course and DWC sees all files as well.
Any thoughts???

Now that you can connect via DWC, can you send M122 and M98 P"config.g" and post the results here?

Can you also provide your full config.g?

What firmware version is on the duet and the paneldue?

@phaedrux
I just re-flashed the panel due firmware and now have it working as well.
So I think I'm good.
I will be back if I continue with a problem.
THANKS for your help!
