Can't Connect DuetWiFi to Network
-
OK. How do I save my existing config.g file out while I load the new firmware on? Like a backup before I update the board…
Can I access the Duet console via my USB connection? Or can I just connect to the Duet using my existing set up first. It was working with 1.18, so it should still work right? I just need to get into the console so I can manage the config. I can't see why I can't connect when it's had no outside network influences since it was working.
UPDATE I got into the console with M115 and restarting the Duet server.
I don't however and SD slot on my computer. I have a Surface Pro 4, and it doesn't have an SD card slot in it, or in the docking station either. When it says upload to /www on the SD card, is that while it's in the Duet board slot? If so, how do I access the SD on the Duet through the network or USB?

I uploaded the 1.19 firmware and server files through the console, and I installed YAT.
After connected to the printer through the USB I start the connection process but I get this:
M552 S0

I'm now trying the firmware update Fallback Procedure #3.
I've successfully installed both a version of SAM-BA and BOSSA. Both start up, but neither of them recognise COM7, which I've been working with since the update.
BOSSA doesn't even list COM7. SAM-BA is such as small window, the only way I can change the COM directory is by typing it into the address bar, and it doesn't recognise COM7. I've gone back to Pronterface to see if I can connect to COM7, and it fails as well.
So it appears that I now can't connect to the Duet via USB. I've checked the Device Manager and it fails to recognise the device. I've downloaded the latest Duet Driver and tried installing it with the Have Disk process, and it just says that the folder doesn't contain a compatible software driver for the device.
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

I should simplify where I'm at…
I downloaded DuetWiFi firmware version 1.19
I connected to the Duet console with the correct IP address
I uploaded the firmware and server bin files
The Duet was then no longer accessible by USB or wireless
I hit erase and reset on the Duet according to Fallback Procedure #3
I downloaded and installed SAM-BA and BOSSA
Neither of these programs can connect to the Duet COM port
I now cannot update the driver for the Duet device in Device Manager -
When you connect the USB cable, what port shows up in Device Manager?
-
After restarting both the computer and printer, it doesn't show up as a device that doesn't have a driver anymore. It shows up as Bossa Program Port (COM5), which is the first time I've seen it on COM5.
I went back to the Fallback Procedure #3 and followed the instructions through on the SAM-BA process. I couldn't get SAM-BA v.216 to work at first because it only works if I lower the display resolution to 1024x768. Once I did that I could see the connect button and follow the rest of the procedure through.
I've uploaded the v.19 firmware now and can connect to the printer with the USB in Pronterface, which is now changed to COM7.
-
I'm not sure what to do next. I'm guessing it doesn't have a server for me to connect to on the board yet…
M115 says it's wifi firmware is 1.0.
I tried connecting to the Duet using SAM-BA again, but it just says Invalid Chip ID.
Is there a to update the wifi firmware without using an SD card?
-
It's not possible to update the WiFi firmware without an SD card. Do have an SD card reader that plugs into a USB port? If not, you can get one on Amazon or eBay
-
I've ordered a SD reader, but it won't arrive until Friday. I'll come back to the update on the weekend.
-
They sent the SD reader early.
I followed the server and web control installations through, but I received an error:

Check that you have compatible versions of main firmware and the WiFi firmware, preferably both 1.19.2 which is available from https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases . To check the main firmware version, run M115. If the main firmware is out of date, you can copy the DuetWiFiFirmware.bin file to /sys on the SD card, pop it back in the Duet, start the Duet and send M997 S0 to install it. It will disconnect while it installs, but you should be able to reconnect one minute later.

Downloaded 19.2 firmware and server, and copied them to the /sys folder of the SD card, ran M997 S0, and also M997 S1 and got this error:
