Update fail on very first step!
-
@andy-cohen Now it won't connect at all. Its not my wifi signal. I can connect other things just fine.
-
@andy-cohen The terminal connection is flakey as well. It is random as to whether or not it works.
-
Is it connected to VIN at the same time as USB?
Do you have other things connected at the same time?
When it loses connection do the lights on the board change as well?
Is it losing power entirely or just dropping wifi? -
@phaedrux The lights stay on. Only USB then only wifi(with cable disconnected). Both act flakey. Not losing power at all as far as I can see.
-
With everything else disconnected connect via USB and send M997 to reflash both firmware. You can then send M552 S1 to enable the wifi module and it should connect. See if that makes an improvement.

M997
SO... on the M997, shouldn't it return OK afterward? It doesn't.
-
@andy-cohen No change. I can't get it to connect wifi at all now.

I'm not familiar with serial tools so I don't know what it would return there, but on YAT it should give you some indication that the firmware is being flashed.

Does the module have a blue light showing?
If you send these commands what does it return?
M552 S-1
M552 S0
M552 S1Is there no chance you could use YAT?
-
@phaedrux Yeah... they worked...
and the router changed the IP address! I looked in the router map too and could not find the Duet.
So it connects, but then the connection is immediately interrupted and it tries to reconnect. -
Can you set a DHCP reservation on the router to keep the Duet IP the same?
-
@phaedrux Did it. But it still can't keep the connection.
-
@andy-cohen Too bad it has to use wifi. It looked like it was stable so I tried to upload the 3.3 zip file and it disconnected.
-
@andy-cohen and now it won't connect again.
-
@andy-cohen Which LED should be blue to show the wifi is working? The three LEDs below the USB port are all lit Yellow, Red and blue.
-
@andy-cohen The LED by the wifi ant is NOT lit.
-
@andy-cohen I did the M552 S1 and got it to flash then it stays lit. So wifi should be on.
-
@andy-cohen and it connects then immediately disconnects. Blue light stays on.
-
The blue light on the module itself indicates the wifi status. Blinking means connecting, and then solid light means connected. Off means the module is off.
How far is it from the router? Are you able to move it closer just to test?
-

then immediately disconnects.
When you say this, what exactly do you mean?
-
@phaedrux There is a window and a door between the router and the machine. It's no more then about 10 feet. It's worked fine for over two years.
Right now it refuses to connect. When it did connect within 1 second I'd get a error message (501) and it disconnects and attempts to reconnect.
