Unable to send any files to my Duet Wifi

ElmoC

This started out as a little annoyance, but now it has become a major problem. I can't get any files to transfer to my Duet Wifi. I had been sending files via PrusaSlicer but recently, those started to fail all the times. I then started using the Upload G-Code File button in the web interface. That was working for a bit, but now all files fail at different parts of the upload. I then tried using FileZilla to transfer files, but it fails too. So now I have no way of sending any files to my printer. I haven't tried pulling the SD card and transferring directly because the card is hard to access. I can't even upload new firmware. And now, after trying to update the firmware, I can't even access the web interface.

I would guess your SD card is borked.
Try a new one

What is the reported WiFi signal strength in the M122 report?

@jay_s_uk Tried a new card. Same issue.

@dc42 When I was able to connect, it was -67 I believe. Since that message, things have gotten worse. I tried updating via Ponterface and it reports it can't write to the printer. The PanelDue still works and I can transfer files by writing directly to the card so I have been able to print. Going to try reflashing the board in a bit.

@dc42 When trying to update via USB through Ponterface, I get this...

@ElmoC
Have you got it in marlin emulation mode?
See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M555_Set_compatibility

@jay_s_uk As far as I know I don't. It had been working fine but then problems started without making any changes to the config.g file. Next time I have the card out, I will check to be sure.

UPDATE: I checked and it is set to make the OUTPUT look like Marlin, which it has always been set to. Nothing about emulation of Marlin.

So after flashing the firmware via BOSSA and updated the WiFi firmware via the PanelDue. Rebuilt the /www directory (note, the DuetWebControl.bin file is not in the release file), I was able to get the web interface back up. Need to try and send a file to it next.

UPDATE: When I try testing the connection for PrusaSlicer, the web interface gets knocked off (Failed to maintain connection) and asks for the password. PrusaSlicer reports the test was successful.

UPDATE 2: Still unable to upload files. Going to try to put a different AP on for the printer to use.

ElmoC

Adding a different access point allowed me to send a job from PrusaSlicer. Will have to see how long this will work.

ElmoC

And I can't upload again.

FTP also fails.

@ElmoC Have you tried running the Duet in Access Point mode? Not as convenient as connecting it to your network, but might show if the issue is with the Duet or your network. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M589_Configure_access_point_parameters
