Error: M997: File DuetWiFiServer.bin not found
interesting....
-
reinstalled firmware. probing still crashes into tower. config.g has not disappeared yet so far.
-
Sometimes, the delta homing flys off the plate and into a pillar, sometimes it probes normally
I assume you mean probing, not homing. If you have old deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files in /sys on the SD card, delete them.
-
no probing files. I must have configured something wrong. delta tries to probe larger than the bed.
-
I'm dumb. I made a typo in the M665 line.
-
config.g disappeared again. Twice. I can undelete it every time without a problem. Given how FAT32 works, I'm thinking something in the firmware is telling it to delete the file.

Which firmware and DWC versions are you using?
I don't think the current firmware and DWC versions ever delete config.g. When you edit it in DWC and save it, I think it first deletes config.bak if it exists, then renames config.g to config.bak, then uploads the new config.g. Or chrishamm may have implemented it another way, such as uploading to config.new first and then doing a double rename. Either way, if the process fails you should still have the old config.g renamed to config.bak.
-
config.bak is generally there. I think it has vanished before too but I can't remember.
-
its just disappeared for me too. this is not the first time. Also having problems opening the DMS file to restore the bak.

When it disappeared, were you editing it and trying to save it? Or was it after you uploaded a new file to /gcodes?
How many files do you have in the /sys folder? There is a limit to how many files in a folder the firmware can return to DWC. Although this normally affects only the /gcodes folder, it could affect /sys if you have a lot of files in it.
-
I've only had the files necessary for operation in the sys folder. I only ever notice config.g isn't there when I go to edit it. Sometimes I'll realize I forgot to do something after it goes to reboot the board, so I'll wait, then go back to system editor and see the file is gone.
I don't know if this is relevant, but if I reload the page (like if it's on a tab and my mac has to reload the tab because I was doing lots of other things) the board will repeat the last few instructions sent to it. Even if it is printing, it will interrupt the print to home and calibrate. This happens every time on safari, and a little less frequently on firefox.
Basically, once it's all dialed in, the board works great, but interacting with it in any way leads to unpredictable results. Still nowhere near as bad as octoprint though.
