Problems connecting via USB
-
I just got my Duet WiFi and set it up with USB for the first time and was able to successfully get the web interface to load. After making a change in the config.g file over the web interface to change it from a delta type to a cartesian printer and pressing apply something went wrong. I'm not sure if I made an improper change in the file or what happened. However, now I can't even access the duet from either the web interface, nor via USB connection (using repetier to try to connect). Looking in Device Manger I don't see the duet either. I have tried depowering and repowering the duet and USB cable as well.
Is there a way I can move back to square zero and start over? Is this just a problem with the files on the SD card? and is there a way I can re-initialize the SD card files?
I'm not very familiar with the duet and am not sure where to start right now.

Additionally, the 3.3V LED is not on. If the 3V3 rail is bad, that would explain why I can't communicate to it at all. Is there a way to repair this? I still don't even know how this could have happened, I never connected/disconnected anything.

You can try unplugging your endstops, see if that helps. My board did that because I wired it wrong, and it was sending 3.3v to ground, and messing up my entire day.

I think I may have found the source of the problem. While I had the web interface working I did home the axes. This left my Z endstop triggered which is pulling V to GND constantly it looks like. I'll have to fix this in the morning.
I am able to communicate if I disconnect the Z endstop. I may have to re-design my endstops to use all 3 pins? Or maybe I just have them configured wrong…
EDIT: I just saw your post. Yes, it does look like the same issue.

I had to re arrange the pins on my endstop to fix it. Mine are the "dumb" 2 wire endstops, and I connected the wires on the outside, leaving the middle blank. The polarity on it doesn't matter. 3 wire endstops are a little more confusing though.
