IS this the correct one?

has the same manufacturer part number as on the schematic at least, so thats about as sure as I can get.

"Tillverkarens artikelnummer TC2117-3.3VDBTR"

(the key to decoding the part numbers are usually towards the end of the datasheets, helps decode the various letters and numbers)

@bearer Hi!

I have now changed the U2 and I can connect to the board via USB
It seems like maybe the WiFi module is broken, but is there any way I can check that over YAT?

A Former User

just follow the getting started guide to set up wifi again, if it responds to M552 and connects you're good.

Haggan90

@bearer ok!
The blue LED does not light up on start, is that a bad thing?

Haggan90

@Haggan90
Ok, it seems like I can't get the Wifi module into idle mode.
Also, I do belive it get's a bit warm, not hot but warm.

@Haggan90 try deleting all saved wifi networks with M588 S"*" (That is, using an asterix for the network name), then re-adding it with M587. For example, M587 S"networkname" P"password".

@Phaedrux The SD-Card seems to be fine.
Do I need a hot air desoldering station to change the Wifi Module? And, what would I need to do after I've changed it?
This is what I get when sending M21.

A good preheating and some quickchip or similar 138C-ish melting point solder might to the trick; but most likely "yes".

edit: oh, and after all you need to do is run M997 S1, presuming the wifi firmware file is in the /sys folder on the SD card.

Haggan90

@bearer Thank you! I will see what I come up with to desolder it
Is there any special version of the ESP-12S Wifi Module I need?

ESP-12S

Thats about as specific as you can get, but no, any ESP-12 ought work, the 12S has all the right certifications on it which is important for Duet3d selling them, not so much for you. I.e. you could use a 12E or F if easier to obtain (or pretty much any other ESP with the same footprint)

(the ESP-07S is an official option if you want external antenna, just make sure to never run it without antenna attached to avoid damage to the rf tx)

Haggan90

@bearer Thanks!
I just ordered a ESP-07S as I have a bunch of these antennas laying around, hoping for a bit better range on the WiFi then

Haggan90

Manage to desolder it using a regular soldering iron, now I just need the new chip!

Haggan90

@bearer Woho! It's working again! Thanks for all the help!

A Former User

Well done! I'm sure the planet prefers a bit of repairing to just landfills:)

Haggan90

@bearer

Unfortunalty is seems like the Duex2 took a hit as well, as I can't get the steppers working there.
Nothing get's hot on the board.
Any idea what could have broke on the Duex2?

dc42

Does M115 report that there is a DueX connected? If not then the SX1509B chip has probably failed.

So, is that SX1509B hard to change?
And where can I find it on the DUEX2?

without hotair or low melt solder it'll be tricky - but if you got the wifi module off I guess you might pull it off - however its probably easier to pull toff he relatively small pads of the qnf compared to the wifi.
