RE: Duet WiFi Access Point setup problems
@dc42
After 2 reboots it is now working. It allows me to have 2 devices connected at the same time too! (iPhone and laptop with win10) I’ll cycle it a few more times on Monday and let you know how it’s going. -
RE: Duet WiFi Access Point setup problems
@dc42 Thank you. Just let me know if you need me to try anything else. The Duet WiFi is so much superior and configurable to what I had I'll live with my current process of hitting my macro a few times for now. With the awesome Paneldue at least I don't have to connect USB to send commands.

RE: Extruder not working on new install (upgrade)
E1 worked the same. I decided to break down the extruder and make sure nothing was mechanically causing this because it sure had a mechanical sound. I didn't find anything wrong but when reassembled the problem resolved. Who knows what could have caused the problem at the same time I upgraded to the Duet WiFi but I sure am glad it wasn't the Duet.
Thank you for the help. It's hard to believe the level of support for this product. I have already spread the word to almost everyone I know. I learned a little more through the process and for that I am very thankful. Now if I can solve the access point connection problem I'll be set.... until my next upgrade. -
RE: Duet WiFi Access Point setup problems
@dc42 said in Duet WiFi Access Point setup problems:
Try connecting a PC or laptop to the Duet via USB, running YAT or Pronterface. Send M111 S1 P14 to enable WiFi debugging. Then try sending the M552 S2 command (from USB or PanelDue, it doesn't matter). If it fails to start up as an access point, let us know what debug messages if any it sends to the PC.
Here are my current network settings after the changes recommended:

If it isnt typo, then change your IP address. 192.186.2.100 is known static IP of some server and shouldnt be used by anyone else. You probably want to use 192.168.2.100
I changed it to 192.168.2.100. This did not change the problem I'm having.

RE: Duet WiFi Access Point setup problems
I tried removing M589 with no change. I tried M588 and then re-tried setting up the network again. I also tried M552 S0 followed by M552 S2, which I believe I saw in some other earlier firmware version posts with people trying to get access point mode working.
The Duet 2 WiFi still needs M552 S2 command entered after boot up in order to run and more often than not it needs the command sent several times. The Paneldue is great to have so that the macro is easy to use without having to physically connect through USB and use YAT to send the command.
Duet WiFi running as an access point works great without any problems, dropped signal, or errors once I can actually connect. -
RE: Extruder not working on new install (upgrade)
I caught the E0 set at 100mA. It was a typo when I was trying higher settings and corrected it during my testing. My results described above were using 500mA (mA used with previous setepper driver and verified with a voltmeter) and 1,000mA.
I'll try using E1 output when I get home tonight.

RE: Extruder not working on new install (upgrade)
I forgot to also say that I checked continuity of the motors and wires where were fine. But them working on other axis should have proven that as well. It is in a printed PLA case (Ocie's Box) with nothing anywhere near it that could be grounding it out. Unless there's something I'm missing in the firmware then I'm not sure what else to check. I don't know how to check the stepper driver itself.

Duet WiFi Access Point setup problems
I'm able to setup the access point to work great but unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work unless I send M552 S2 command anywhere to 1-6 times after booting up. I created a macro which does make it easier but it would be nice to get it working without booting up, going into macro menu, hitting macro, checking connection, hitting macro again, checking connection, repeat....
I've read through many other people having difficulty as well and I've tried so many combinations I can't remember them all. I just can't get past having to enter the M552 S2 command more than what is already in my config.g. I live where you can't get internet other than on my phone so I don't use a home WiFi network and have to set up the Duet WiFi as an access point (one of the main reasons I bought it).

Extruder not working on new install (upgrade)
My extruder stepper motor just vibrates with minimal movement of the filament. Turning the mA up from 500 to 1000 makes it vibrate with a very fast, loud clicking but the filament moves. Previously working fine on my OEM Tronxy controller at 500mA and running smooth. I tried swapping motors and got the same. Tried the motor on the X axis and it worked fine. I tried swapping wiring with the same result. So, I'm sure its not the motor or wiring. config appears to be similar to many other working setups. This is a new installation replacing a working OEM setup. Did I get a bad stepper driver? I'm no expert at checking that but no obvious physical signs of a problem. I'm struggling with setting it up as an access point as well but will start a separate thread for that.
Machine: Tronxy X5SA
Stepper motor for extruder: LDO Overthemoon, 1.8deg, 1A. Tried the Tronxy OEM motors too.
Controller: Duet WiFi
Versions: firmware 2.02a, web control 1.22.6, server 1.22I can't get config.g to upload due to poor internet connection so here is a text copy of my settings if it could be helpful.
