      Yes that is correct. If the SD card is in the Duet it would try to work in standalone mode. It must be removed to work with the SBC.

      @dc42

      Okay, I have a new AP installed in the garage with the printer. Its a TP-Link Pharos with b/g/n @ 2.4 GHz. The printer now has its own SSID and its isolated from the DECO system. I'm at about 30 minutes with no disconnections. I am running channel 6 with WPA2-psk with AES and 0 db of antenna boost. This Pharos unit lets me control everything through its web interface.

      For reference: I had a TP-Link DECO M5 system for years and it ran great. When we bought the new house a couple of months ago, I upgrade to the Newest, fastest DECOs that support wifi 6E (its an XE 75). The system works great, but this isn't the first device on 2.4Ghz that I have found a little flaky.

      wifi section from M122:

      = WiFi = Network state is active WiFi module is connected to access point Failed messages: pending 0, notready 0, noresp 2 WiFi firmware version 1.27 WiFi MAC address ec:fa:bc:2d:e2:de WiFi Vcc 3.40, reset reason Turned on by main processor WiFi flash size 4194304, free heap 23824 WiFi IP address 192.168.68.152 WiFi signal strength -36dBm, mode 802.11n, reconnections 0, sleep mode modem Clock register 00002002 Socket states: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

      Regarding the M350 line:

      I'm not sure why i am not using x16. I feel like there was a reason for this years ago when Initially set this up. I think that I might have been worried about the weight of the z-axis. At the time, I had 2 ballscrews connecting an aluminum plate x axis. I think I might have been concerned about the drop off in holding torque for x16 microstepping (maybe wrongly, but I think that was the reason).

      Now my setup is 4 independent z-axis motors each controlling a ballscrew to do mesh leveling and remove some of the twist in the heated bed. That system works great.

      If its okay, I might leave this alone for now, but I can test moving to x16 once I have everything moving again.

      M350 X16 Y16 Z4 U16 E16:16 I1 ; configure microstepping with interpolation

      I think you are suggesting that I should do this:

      M350 X16 Y16 U16 E16:16 I1 ; configure microstepping with interpolation M350 Z4 I0

      Update: Well.....she is up and printing again..... Thanks for all the help. WIFI is infinitely more stable now. I'll do a few test prints, dial everything in real good and then I'll have a look at the z axis x16 settings

      You have 6 drives mapped using M569 but 7 drives mapped using M584.
      What board are you using?

      Scratch that, I've just found the bug in the chamber heater setup code. It will be fixed in the forthcoming 2.03beta3 release, which I am aiming to do later today.

      Thanks for your help in pinning this down. The software reset data you posted located the problem.

      Alright, I've got some logic level 3.3V to 5V converters. I'll try to "fix" my x and y axis to to bypass the burnt out optocouplers and give it a try.

      I also heard back from the manufacturer of the drive. They have asked me to try and go from 1600 pulses per revolution to 3200. I don't think it will fix the problem, but it should make it less noticeable. I'll try that on a second run and see if I get any improvement.

      Thanks, I'll report back.

      I must have fat-fingered something cause it is working now.

      Thanks for the quick reply.

      In firmware 1.21RC1 the additional endstop pins on the Duet expansion connector should work when there is no DueX board connected.

      Glad it's working. You may need to configure a large dead time using M307 to get the tuning to work without faulting, depending on where the thermistor is in relation to the heater.

      The forthcoming 1.19RC1 firmware supports an additional SX1509B-based I/O expander. However, you are limited to using it for M42, M280 and related commands. You can also tap into the heater and thermistor pins on the expansion connector. However, the endstop pins won't work because they were reassigned as additional SPI CS pins.
