cannot connect to duet 2 Wi-Fi or board

Blunt2007

@Phaedrux I am still at the point of trying to get connected to the board USB is only power going to the board. I pulled the SD card out and put it in my computer and reload it "runonce.g"onto the SD card under config g and it booted up and I was able to connect to Wi-Fi again. I shut it down letting it sit overnight and then I'm going to plug it in again to see if it reestablishes Wi-Fi again I will give you an update tomorrow if it works or or if it doesn't work. If it doesn't work I will reboot the computer in safe mode and try it then

It won't automatically connect to wifi unless M552 S1 is present in config.g

droftarts

@Blunt2007 as @Phaedrux said, on the SD card, in the /sys folder, config.g should have M552 S1 in it. If it does, and the WiFi still does not start when the Duet is powered up, copy the config.g file off the SD card on your computer, and post it here.

Because the runonce.g file worked, and you could connect to DWC, I don’t think the problem is with the SD card or SD card socket, but possibly a corrupt config.g is causing problems.

Another thing to try is to remove the SD card, then power the Duet, and try connecting via YAT.

Lastly, if you do connect, either by YAT or WiFi, send M122 and post the result here. In DWC (the WiFi interface) click on ‘Console’ and enter M122 there. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Duet_Web_Control_Manual#console for a guide.

@droftarts okay here we go again. I connected the board using USB it connected to Wi-Fi .I unplugged the USB .hooked up my power supply turned on power supply it connected to Wi-Fi and I was able to select different options then it lost signal and would not reconnect I tried shutting off power supply and returned it on and Will not connect Wi-Fi under power supply unplugged power supply .plugged USB back in with power supply off it comes up in device manager and now will not connect Wi-Fi

@droftarts hear the post M122.

@droftarts to get the board working again I had to reload "runonce.g"

droftarts

@Blunt2007 you shouldn’t have to keep on running runonce.g. Your WiFi name and password is stored already. The problem with the WiFi is that it is not being started with config.g. Put the sd card in your computer, copy off the /sys/config.g file, and post it here.

The M122 shows a solid WiFi connection, and that the sd card is working correctly. It doesn’t report on the USB port. You are running older firmware but that’s okay for now.

Ian

Blunt2007

@droftarts do you want the config file now while it's still running or wait until it stops running and then copy the config file

droftarts

@Blunt2007 if you can connect via WiFi, go to the System menu, which should list the files in /sys. Right click on config.g, and select Edit. Then copy and paste the contents to your reply. Extra points if you can put it in code tags </> on the formatting menu, so

It looks like this!

@droftarts I am able to log on to Wi-Fi and it is getting connected now The only thing that is not working is connecting to yat be a USB but it is connecting to Wi-Fi it's been 2 days now and it's still working via Wi-Fi

droftarts

@Blunt2007 That's good to hear. Your config.g looks generally sensible, and has M552 S1 which enables WiFi, in it.

One point: your machine name is 'Ender 5 plus'. Unless you have modified your printer, these machines are cartesian printers, not CoreXY, which you have set with M669 K1. Is that correct?

For the USB, have you tried connecting since the config.g has been updated, and you can reliably connect via WiFi? It may have been continually rebooting before, if there was a configuration problem, which may have caused USB not to connect.

If that still doesn't work, can you post a picture of the back of the USB port, where the pins are? I want to check all the pins are soldered correctly. If they are not, we can exchange it under warranty.

Ian

Blunt2007

@droftarts Yes it is an ender 5 plus from what I found on the internet that is what I selected of course I'm fairly new at this so I can be completely wrong I could use your help if you know of anybody that has a ender 5 plus with the files already made up I can really appreciate it and the list and documentation so I can read up on G-Code. I did boot the computer up into safe mode and it said that the comports are not available and safe mode so I'll send you a picture of the USB connection thanks for your help

droftarts

@Blunt2007 Thanks for the picture. It looks like the pins are correctly soldered and there doesn't seem to be any missing, blown or damaged components in that area. So it is a bit of a mystery why it won't connect. I can't tell if it's a Windows problem or a board problem. If you're up and running now, perhaps see how you get along. If you can find a different USB cable, and a different computer to try it with (I can't remember if you have already tried that), then that would be a good test.

There's a number of different places you can see other people's configurations, but you do really need to understand what you are doing when using them. We keep a list here:
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Community_projects#machine-configurations-and-macros
There is one Ender 5 Plus here, which is probably closest to your setup (Duet 2 WiFi): https://github.com/Duet3D/RRF-machine-config-files/tree/master/Ender5Plus
And three more here: https://github.com/TeamGloomy/LPC-STM32-RRFUserConfigs/tree/master

Please don't blindly copy them, though. It will depend how you have connected the wires to your board.

One thing they all don't have is M669 K1, though. Delete that from your config.g.

Ian

Blunt2007

@droftarts Yes I'm going to keep this board because it's working fine now see how it works out The board is under power and it's working fine. Don't really need to use the USB come on. Can you direct me to a link for All the G-Code and and macros documentation so I know what I'm doing better thanks all for all your help and your patience I really appreciate it have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year May your god bless you

droftarts

@Blunt2007 Our documentation is here: https://docs.duet3d.com/

I think you have been following the 'How-to' guides; keep going with those, they will guide you through a lot of the journey.

The Gcode dictionary lists all Gcodes, with their function and parameters: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes

This page describes most of the configuration files and macros used in a standard cartesian setup: https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Configuration_cartesian

For anything else, search the wiki or ask on the forum.

OP mentions Ultimaker Cura as a file suggestion for STL files. Cura tends to grab serial ports and needs to be not running when trying YAT or PuTTY.

@droftarts duet to Wi-Fi board hey I was wondering if you knew a way to be able to get another stepper motor connected to this board is there a dual stepper driver extension module that I can plug into this board because I'm looking to run dual nozzles what do you suggest is it impossible

There is a dual driver expansion for the Duet 2. https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_2_family/Dual_Stepper_Driver_Expansion_Module

There's also a Duex5 with 5 drivers plus additional IO.
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_2_family/DueX2_and_DueX5

The Duex2 is no longer made, but maybe you could find a used one out there.

droftarts

@Phaedrux @Blunt2007 the dual driver expansion only works on the Duet 2 Maestro, you have a Duet 2 WiFi.

The last config.g I saw of yours has the drives mapped as:

M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3 ; set drive mapping

That means you are using 4 drivers. Unless you changed it to put, say, one of the Z axes motors on driver 4 (marked E2), there should still be a spare driver on the board, spare heater output and temperature sensor input. So you may not need additional expansion.

See this page for external drivers: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Motors_connecting_external
