Hi there,

I've been having a couple of issues with a Duet 2 Ethernet and Duex 5. I was told I need to post here in this forum; I didn't see any categories that would be specific to this so far as I could tell, so if this is posted in the incorrect place, please move it as needed!

Details about the issues/troubleshooting steps I took are as follows:

The issues that I'm having are that the ethernet daughter board on the Duet 2 does not seem to be functioning at all. Additionally, the Duex 5 does not seem to be communicating with the Duet Ethernet board. The main symptoms in question here are that the ethernet board does not show up on my network, and the LEDs on the ethernet daughterboard do not turn on to indicate any kind of connection. On the Duex 5, the motor drivers will not energize the motors at all.

I spent a couple of hours troubleshooting this yesterday, during pretty much all of this time I was speaking with poofjunior/other members of the Jubilee 3d Printer discord server. They helped me verify that my config.g was correct, and that I had the required scripts for homing the Z axis motors, to ensure that it wasn't an issue of firmware configuration. If anyone is curious as to what my firmware config was, it was copied directly from the Jubilee repo on github, and placed into the proper folders on the SD card.

Here are the things I've tried/checked:

For the ethernet board, I have set up both a static IP and DHCP to try to have the Duet board show up on my network. I tested this after trying two different ethernet cables, both of which were verified as working on a separate computer. I also hooked up the Duet ethernet board to my computer via USB (After disconnecting 24V power, to avoid a ground loop issue) In doing so, I ran M552 which initially indicated that the network was disabled on the Duet board. To fix that, I ran M552 S1, after which the duet board reported that the network was enabled. I subsequently ran a plain M552 to check, and the board indicated that the network should indeed have been active. However, I still saw absolutely no indication of a connection through the ethernet port on my Duet, nor could I find the duet board on my home network when looking through my router's "attached devices" page. I tried the same above at least two or three times, power cycling the board each time.

As for the Duex 5 board, I have 3 Z axis motors connected for a Jubilee printer. The ribbon cable is correctly oriented and securely seated in both boards, and the ribbon cable itself appears to be in good working order. The Duex 5 is getting power, which I've checked at both the screw terminals, and the led/fan ports. Both register 24.4V, which is coming from my Meanwell Power supply. The Duex 5 is connected to the Duet 2 Ethernet in exactly the way that Duet recommends in its documentation - I am using 16AWG stranded wire that has been crimped into the provided Duet ferrules very securely. The Duet 2 has a double connection, so the power supply routes into the Duet 2, then goes down to the Duex 5, and the polarity is correct.

To rule out any issues with the motors themselves, I plugged the Z axis motors into the X axis driver on the Duet Ethernet board. They all moved just fine when attempting to home X.

After checking the motors, I ran M122 several times. The first time I ran it with USB connected to my computer through Simplify3D, with 24V power off. The second time I ran it, I disconnected my laptop from the wall to avoid a ground loop issue, on the off chance that the Duex 5 needed the 24V power to be operational. The third time I ran M122 was with the PanelDue I have connected to the Duet 2 Ethernet board.

All outputs were identical, and as follows:

If you have any further troubleshooting suggestions, please let me know! I'm happy to try anything that might get this up and running without having to send it back in for replacement. I am also unsure if the issue is solely with the Duet 2 Ethernet board, or both the Duet 2 Ethernet and the Duex 5.

Thanks!

I see, thanks! Is there any way I can ssh into the rpi and configure from there?

I'd prefer to avoid having to connect an HDMI cable and keyboard to get into the rPi if possible.

Essentially, I'd just need to figure out the default username/password on the rPi (as far as I know, since it's a linux based system) - is there anywhere I could find that info?

Hi there,
This is my first time using any Duet3d products, and it's been quite a ride so far.

Right now, I'm trying to get my duet web control to exist on a static IP, so I won't have to look it up each time I want to print something. I'm using the Duet3 MB-HC, with a raspberry pi 3 which is using the micro SD card that came with the Duet3. I'm connected via ethernet, and I can't figure out where to go in order to set this up.

I've looked everywhere I can think of in DWC, and can't find anything relevant. I found some suggestions for setting this up in the Gcode documentation, but those settings all appeared to be for wifi, and it looked like those Gcode commands are more for a Duet2 wifi or maybe a Duet3 board running in standalone mode.

I thought I might be able to ssh into the rpi, but I can't figure out what the username/password would be.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might go about setting up a static IP on a Duet3 MB-HC that's interfaced through a raspberry pi?

Additionally, I have a couple of suggestions for the documentation on this board that I thought might be helpful - where would I go to make those suggestions?
