need help with duet3 6hc and new wifi chip

buz

Please help, I got the new wifi chip v1.02 installed on the board and can connect if if i use M552 commands from the web interface. I place the m552 commands in the config, but unless I use the Ethernet connection to send the M552 commands the WIFI wont start. I am familiar with the "I1", and have tried various combinations in the Config- what am I missing???

droftarts

@buz the M552 command in your config.g to enable WiFi should be

M552 I1 S1

Is that what you have?

Please post config.g and response to M115, if you need more support.

@buz I have already logged a similar issue at https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues/840.

dc42 created this issue in Duet3D/RepRapFirmware

closed Can't enable WiFi in config.g on MB6HC 1.02 with WiFi module #840

buz

So is this a bug? If so that makes me feel a little better knowing its not something I am doing. I did try to use just the WIFI and deleted the ethernet M552 but even that didnt help. here is the network portion of my config if that helps. Thank you for helping

@buz said in need help with duet3 6hc and new wifi chip:

Comment out (with a semicolon at the beginning) or delete this line, which enables the Ethernet:

;M552 P192.168.1.44 S1

Ethernet is fine, I need the wifi connection to start from the config file at boot.
If I comment out that line I wont be able to connect at all.

droftarts

@buz You have commands in your config.g to enable both Ethernet and WiFi. @dc42 said that currently there is a bug that causes the WiFi to be ignored if you enable Ethernet. So don't enable Ethernet, and WiFi will be enabled in config.g.

Ok that makes sense, I will try it this evening. thank you for your help. This ethernet cable running across the room is driving me nuts!!

buz

Help again. I finally got around to trying this. I uncomment the m552 to enable the ethernet, left the M552 I1 S1 to enable wifi and try to connect. No luck. Had to uncomment and reconnect with ethernet. When I do a M552 I1 from web control it responds WIFI disabled. This makes sense with what DC said but I can enable it within web control and have it start & connect. Any ideas?? has to be something Im doing in the config that is not starting the WIFI. thanks

droftarts

@buz please post your config.g. Also post response to M98 p"config.g" and M122.

Ian

dc42

@buz I confirm that the issue with enabling the wifi module does not depend on whether or not Ethernet is enabled too. I implemented a fix last Friday.

Which firmware version are you using?

buz

Hi guys thanks for helping. M98 p"config.g" returns" http enable port 80, ftp and telenet is disabled. m122 returns:

@buz Can you post your full config.g as well? In the M122 report, it says Ethernet is active, and also the WiFi signal strength is 0dBm. If this is straight after startup, then the Ethernet is not being disabled in your config.g.
