Seems strange given the case has been on it since day one, but I'll take it out of the case and see if it resolves it.. will report back. thanks

Re: PanelDue beeping? Confused.

My Paneldue has started beeping constantly, the weird thing is that it still registers touches, and the printer still works fine if I operate it from the web interface, I had to unplug the paneldue due to the annoyance of the noise.. and suggestions how I can fix the paneldue to stop it from beeping?

I assume this just means running 2 wires to each of the stepper pins on the duet, are there any concerns with doing this other than current?

8-Wire Stepper Motors

Some motors are also offered in 8-Wire configurations allowing for multiple wiring configurations depending on whether the motor's speed or torque is more important.*

It is possible to connect an 8-wire stepper motor with the windings of each phase connected in parallel as shown in Figure 4. This configuration will enable better high speed operation while requiring more current to produce the rated torque. This connection type is sometimes known as parallel bipolar wiring.

@dc42 thanks, I was hoping this would be the case.

@msquared thanks.. do you know if there is a mobile app that supports it?

Beside Safari

@MSquared I think thats more for PT100 sensors..

Is it possible to enable the mobile API's so that I can use the Discourse app to read and respond on my phone?

@dc42 or anyone else with more experience than me..

Would there be any obvious issues using a PT1000 with a short cable (~10cm) going to a plug/socket just above effector, and then wire back down to the Duet?

Anything special need to be taken into account for the wire used for the run back to the Duet (AWG rating, resistance, etc)?

@T3P3Tony please count me in if there is still room for more testers

Just reporting back that after updating my network gear to Ubiquiti Unifi kit everything is working properly again.

would it be possible to have some gcodes that hit the url required to submit a message directly from the duet?

I'm particularly after a way to send a notification to my phone at the end of a print.

Pushbullet is another option that is free

So although I thought reverting to 1.20 duetwifiserver resolved the issue I am still getting DWC disconnects, just far less often now.

@dc42

#2 alone didn't do it, but reverting back to 1.20 of DuetWiFiServer.bin seems to have resolved it

Thanks.

Today I've had a little more luck, but I get disconnects all the time in DWC and am seeing errors on the paneldue console:

WiFi reported error: incomplete write

Now I can get a connection to the wifi but it usually drops before I can load DWC fully.

Neither my printer or router have moved… have spent the better part of 2 days trying to get this working now.. any suggestions @dc42 ?

well I got one time connection.. now I can't again

ran M588 S*

then my add network macro and it's working now..

@dc42 I can't access DWC though as I can't connect to my wifi

Today I've updated from 1.18.beta3 to 1.20.1rc2, and am having issues connecting to my wifi again.

I did follow the instructions at https://www.duet3d.com/wiki/Upgrading_to_DuetWiFiFirmware_1.19
But I am not sure if I need to use ' chars for lowercase characters as per https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#M587:_Add_WiFi_host_network_to_remembered_list.2C_or_list_remembered_networks (I've tried with and without)

If I boot printer and execute my macro to add the wifi network then run the following:

[[language]]
M587

Remembered networks: Mato24 IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0

M552 S1

WiFi reported error: Failed while trying to connect to Mato24 Wifi module is idle

M115

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet WiFi FIRMWARE_VERSION: 1.20.1RC2 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.0 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-01-01

M589

Failed to retreive own SSID data

From my router:

Is there any way to report the wifiserver version?

Any other suggestions?

@dc42 I've changed over to a different PT100 and am still getting a high (but lower reading), would it be possible to add an offset feature?
