Help please/ SSID ad hoc connection

FuseDeep

HI

Am setting up a new duet2 wifi for my makergear and cannot follow the ssid instructions...they make no sense.

Some guidance please.

I have the board connected to my laptop via usb and have added an ssd name and password but wanted it adhoc or direct to the printer , I do not have a network to use.

How do I reset the board AND ADD A NEW ADDRESS (SAY 20.20.20.20.20) and password?

Fusedeep is on 10.10.10.10.10 but can't work out how to set this up, and AM using the instructions!!!

FuseDeep

Hmm

I can see the "wifi"when usb is plugged in, but unplug the usb and it disappears as an option to connect to.

Nothing is working now! Bloody computers!!!

Just saw your posts.

I've never tried to setup a Duet as an WiFi Access Point (as opposed to a WiFi Client).

Let me read a bit.

@fcwilt Thanks

I actually got it connected but frankly it's not straightforward!

Am now seeing lots of g file errors?

It's not working but is wifi connected straight to laptop

FuseDeep

I already have fusedeep as an adhoc

Can someone remind me how to do the text file/gcode bit please. it's been a while...

~~OK please post all of the commands that you are executing to configure your Duet as a WiFi Access Point.~~

~~Thanks.~~

I setup a new Duet board using the SD card that comes with the unit.

It has a few basic commands in it.

I connect the SD card to my computer using a suitable adapter.

I edit the contents of the config.g file to get it to the point where it will allow a WiFi connection.

Once that is done I do the rest of the setup using the WiFi connection, my browser and the Duet DWC.

@fcwilt that's now all working! lol

But it is saying dot g file errors on everything.

I seem to remember a text file for the brain is required. where is the page for that please?

@fusedeep you can generate a basic configuration with the RepRap Configurator at https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/

Hi

I remember similar problem with fusedeep...

I can't work out where to put the wifi information so it sticks.
I can get it to work via yat and the web update, but this is lost if i update the files from the online configurer. and I have to use YAT!

How do I put my working wifi from the board into the config so it does not get overwritten! I am on the page but can't work it out.

It's really frustrating having to use yat!

Also, my bed is heating really slowly and causing a fault, is there a setting I need to change?

The link I provided has step by step

Notes
To use AP mode:

Send a M589 command once from the console, or via macro to set the access point name, IP address etc. These parameters will be saved within the WiFi module.
The M589 command will fail if the WiFi module has not yet been taken out of reset. So if the WiFi module has not been started, send M552 S0 to put it in idle mode first.
M589 does not work from within config.g at startup.
Use M552 S2 in config.g to start the wifi module.
WPA2 security will be used by default.
Look for the wireless network name you specified on your device and connect to it using the password you set.

The M552 S2 in config.g needs to be present to set it to access point mode at startup.

The bed heater needs to be PID tuned so that the firmware knows what to expect from it's performance. Generally this would be M303 H0 S60 assuming heater0 is the bed heater. The results must be saved using M500 and then M501 must be added to the end of config.g to load them at startup. Or manually copy the results into config.g

Here's a basic commissioning guide that may help as well.

@phaedrux Thanks for this, I have resolved that issue as far as I can tell, a PID tune helped that I did last night,and I pasted it into the heater section (it seems to work, but should it be at the end of config page?)
