Duet 3 Mini 5+ Wifi problem

asimitabi

Hello together!

I just built a new RatRig Printer with Duet 3 Mini 5+ Wifi with external antenna.

I have packed on the SD card the new config-file and the other files. Since the printer currently has no display to enter the wifi data, I wrote the following in the config file:
M587 S"WLAN-NAME" P"WLAN-PASSWORD" I192.168.1.15
M552 S1 P"WLAN-NAME"

I assumed that the printer now connects to the wifi on first startup and I can access the DWC in the browser using the fixed IP address.

Unfortunately nothing happens, does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

Thanks a lot!

@asimitabi you need M552 S0 before you try and send wifi details

asimitabi

@jay_s_uk thanks for the fast reply!

I now did:

M552 S0
M587 S"WLAN-NAME" P"WLAN-PASSWORD" I192.168.1.15
M552 S1 P"WLAN-NAME"

but if I put in the IP in my browser nothing happens...

@asimitabi why not just send it over USB to get going?

asimitabi

@jay_s_uk The computer is a bit away from the machine and the machine is very heavy as its 500x500x750mm with enclosure. I cant bring them together here.

I thought this must work or do I need a specific IP?

@asimitabi Is the board actually on that IP address? Use an IP scanner to see, I use the free Advanced IP Scanner in Windows.

@stephen6309 Thank you I now tried to remove the IP-adress so it will find its own but it seems like the board is not connected to the wifi as the IP-scanner cant find the board

@asimitabi In YAT, sending M587 with no parameters shows the saved wifi networks in the wifi chip.

This has info on connecting wifi:

@stephen6309 yes I know but I cant connect the computer right now via cable as its too far away...

If there isnt another option I will drive home and pick up my laptop to do it via cable. I just thought this must work normally

@asimitabi If you have a paneldue, it can be done via it's console.

asimitabi

I dont have the paneldue here but it works now, I took my laptop from home and made it normally via YAT.

Thank you guys for the fast answers!
