Struggling to connect to new board

TKWARD

Another thought .... your WiFI network ... Does it allocate DHCP addresses ? or expect static IP addresses ?

If DHCP... then use the M550 machine name command, and let it auto allocate the IP address ( don't try to specify one ).

You can then ping it in command prompt with : ping machine name.

TKWARD

@bearer Missed that bit ..... DOH!!

Asdasd1234

Using windows 10,
Running standalone,
the router allocates DHCP that this is plugged into (ethernet, not wifi)

I've got YAT setup now, but it seems that something else immediately connects to the board and takes up the com slot since I get this as soon as its plugged in (in use by another application)

I'm going to restart the pc and see if that changes

EDIT: Restarting pc freed up the com port. M115 returns the firmware, so some progress at last!

EDIT2: M552 returns ethernet is disabled... I'm guessing I have something missing in my config then ?

Maybe confirm the Duet can read the SD card?

What do you get if you run M20 P"/" in the terminal?

@Asdasd1234 Send M122 and post the response.

I think @bearer might have hit the nail on the head.
runing m20 P"/" returns :

Can you try a different SD card? See here for specification and how to format it (a Windows 'Quick Format' doesn't work): https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/SD_Card

Also, now it's on YAT, you can send M552 P0.0.0.0 S1 and get it on your network.

Ian

Asdasd1234

I don't have another sd card at hand, but I'll try reformatting that one (its the one that came with the board)
thanks

EDIT: sorry I was an idiot, I took the sd card out as per one of the troubleshooting links earlier and didn't replace it.

Although m20 P"/" still returns the same (nothing found) so I'll still try reformatting

@Asdasd1234 said in Struggling to connect to new board:

so I'll still try reformatting

please ensure the card does not have multiple partitions and formatted with FAT32.
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

or

windows key + x -> disk management to look at the card

droftarts

@Asdasd1234 If it's the SD card that came with the Duet 3, and you didn't reformat it, it's formatted for the Raspberry Pi. This should be FAT32 too, so should work in the Duet 3. However, if you reformatted it with Windows 'Quick Format', that might explain why it's not read. Best thing to do is to format it with the official SD formatting tool: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/index.html

Ian

Asdasd1234

That was it! When i reformatted the rpi image , I must have selected NTFS.
Re-done to fat32 and its all working as expected.
Thank you so much everyone for the help!

A Former User

Maybe dc42 could consider adding the partition type to the M122 output and/or a helpfull error message when people use these Raspberry Pi cards for stand alone use?

Asdasd1234

To be fair, I'd already realised it was an rpi image and I'd need to reformat it, I just had no idea which type it needed to be. Even a sticker on the bag it comes in would be a bonus for newbies like me lol
