Can't Add network to duet 2 wifi network list

Markcus

Hiya all. I recently bought a duet 2 wifi but I can't get the wifi module to work. Prior to installing I plugged the motherboard into my Mac and use serial tools to access it. I ran the M552 S-1 command to stop halt the wifi module then used M552 S0 to restart. After this I used the M587 command with the proper password format and SSID format. After checking if it was added to M587 it replied with 'No Networks Found'. I was running RRP 2.03 and updated to 3. but made no difference. I attached images below. Someone please help e with this I can't find out what I am doing wrong.

MY M122 command output:

@Markcus what software are you using to send the commands?

Markcus

@jay_s_uk thank you for the reply. I am on my Mac and using serial tools.

@Markcus i'm not sure whether serial tools converts things to uppercase or not.
best follow this to add your network
In firmware 1.19.2 and later, within any quoted string you can use a single-quote character to indicate that the following character should be changed to lowercase. For example, M587 S"ABC" P"P'A'S'SW'O'R'D" would specify that the password is "PassWord". Use two single quote characters to represent one actual single quote character in the password or in the SSID. For example, if your SSID is "Pete's network" then enter "Pete''s network".

@jay_s_uk Thakyou so much for the response. I tried that and it would not work. I then tried to use my terminal command line to make it work and it worked. I added the network and connected to web control. Thankyou to everyone for reading and jay for giving me the idea of which software I was using. For anybody in the future don't use serial tools just do the command line. May not look as pretty but it works really well. Cheers guys and happy coding

It looks like in your command you used curly quotes. Make sure you're using straight quotes in all commands, ie " rather than curly quotes, ie ”. Also, you didn't get an 'ok' after the command, so it didn't go through.

SerialTools works, but is a bit finicky about input; you have to get the command right, without pressing delete or cursor keys. I think it sends each character to the Duet as you type them (raw mode), rather than when you press return. If you navigate away from SerialTools to another application, and then back, in the middle of writing the command, the command won't work. You should get an 'ok' when a command goes through correctly. It's also the only terminal program available on the app store that I've found.

If you're okay with downloading software not on the Apple app store, I've been using CoolTerm from https://freeware.the-meiers.org/. Coolterm works well, though I usually have it set to Options > Terminal > 'Line mode', which sends your command line when you press return rather than character by character, and turn on local echo so it shows the command you have sent.
