I was able to infer what the problem was by reading what dc45 wrote about the panel due in other posts.
Turns out someone mucked with my baud rate setting. !%^$!#@&^$
So for those who are having the same problem as i described above...
CHECK YOUR BAUD RATE SETTING It can't be higher then 57600.
and...
Be careful about bringing things to show at meet ups!!!
I had the same problem. Turned out it was EMI. or RF noise. I switched from a T/c to a thermistor and the problem never reoccured.
Too bad the mesh compensation turned out to be such a total waste of time. It works better just to tweak the leveling knobs and just chuck the unnecessary complexity.
@bot Thanks, I got it. Lets hope the MOFSETS do not blow.
The extrusion rate in the config for that tool is set correctly for when it is printing. While printing it works fine.
But it is not correct when I use the UI in the panel or the web interfaces. Those must be set somewhere else.
Is there a way to modify the steps per mm for these controls? I have installed a Zesty Nimble and the turning ratio from the stepper to the hobbed gear is WAY different from the default setting I used for the E3D tool changer.
I cannot stand the horrible new design of the WebUI for the Duetwifi. It is REAL BAD!!!
Can I downgrade it??? If so, where are the files???
Why have selections in the settings for baud rates which are faster than what the controller board can handle? If they do not actually work and selection of them provides ZERO warning about the panel not functioning correctly after selected, then why have the faster baud rates as selections at all?
@Veti yup... but I cannot figure out any other way it got changed. Cosmic ray?

It's a 5i. The normal ui is displayed sans macros and it will not show the gcode files onboard the duet. The onscreen controls do not do anything and it does not show that it connected via wifi... even though the duet does connect. Works the same for both type of cable. Weird. Not sure what version it is, but when I swapped it out with a new 7i(that belongs to the toolchanger im building) the 7i works fine. There's nothin physical such as a disturbed ribbon cable, that I can see.
@Andy-Cohen
I went to my desktop and looked... after all the LAN light stopped flashing...
Sure enough the printer and the Duetwifi are working fine.
Seems the problem is the Paneldue. The cable checked out fine. Anybody see a paneldue fail like this?
After taking my Duetwifi based CR1 to a reprap meetup... where I never got the chance to even plug it in...
I got it home and plugged it in and when I turned it on it is not acting right at all...
It does not show any temp readings from the tcs, it does not control the steppers at all. All the leds light up ok as does the blue wifi LAN light but it never connects to the LAN. Fans seem to work but there's no control on the screen, no macros, no files to print...yet I verified everything is on the sad card. All the connections look ok. It seem so be acting like it has no sd card. The card checked out fine.
The only thing different in my shop is another Duetwifi which I have already connected to the LAN once while building the new machine.
Any ideas????
@droftarts Yes... you did. Thank you!
