@ozgunkilicafsar if you’re using a Mac to connect to your Duet via USB, are you using SerialTools app to connect? SerialTools can be a bit flaky sending commands. I notice there wasn’t an ‘ok’ response to the M558 S"*" command; if a command goes through correctly, you should always get an ‘ok’. I use Coolterm on Mac now, with the options for ‘line mode’ and ‘local echo’ turned on, which is more reliable. It isn’t available through the App Store though.
Thanks @droftarts this is actually what saved me! It was SerialTools that was the main issue. Thank you so much! And it turns out my old board's wifi is also working just fine! It was again thanks to this that solved the mystery! So happy!
In this command
M587 S”mynetworkssid" P”mypassword”
Yeah this just happened during copy and paste, I confirm that I used straight quotation marks at all times.
you have used curly quotes, not straight quotes. All commands must be sent with straight quotes. Again, there was no ‘ok’ returned.
I suspect that the stored WiFi SSID is the one used for testing at the factory. Delete it with
M588 S"*"then put in your SSID and password with M587.
I guess it was so when I transferred to Coolterm M588 was also received fine so this is also figured and I deleted all the old SSIDs stored.
WiFi firmware 1.27 is the latest release version; you are on 1.26. Update with the ‘DuetWifiServer.bin’ file from the ‘Duet2and3Firmware-3.4.6.zip’ file in the RRF 3.4.6 release here: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.4.6
1.26 worked fine afterall and if I'm not wrong this was what came out of the 3.4.6 zip but I'll double check!
Anyways thanks for all the help and suggestions @droftarts @fcwilt
Final takeaway was that both Coolterm (MAC) as well as YAT (Windows) worked best for me in this process of debugging wifi issues. I personally do not recommend SerialTools anymore with the amount of struggle it caused with wifi setup.
