[Solved] Duet 2 wifi Java error

CrazyJane

I have installed a new Duet 2 wifi of a Chinese Prusa i3 clone. Everything was working fine except for G29 homing which I was working on, after editing config.g to redefine the grid pattern, the Duet dropped the wifi link and on restart the extruder heater had vanished from the screen on both the pc and Paneldue and the bed heater displayed an incorrect temperature (2000 degrees).
I have checked all thermistors and heaters for continuity and all check out ok
I have reinstalled the the latest RepRap and WebControl Firmware to no effect.
I have tried resetting the board
The test heater macro brings up three heaters, all current temperature are n/a the tool fan also starts up at 35% and an Error Screen displaying the following:

A JavaScript error has occurred so the web interface has closed the connection to your board. It is recommended to reload the web interface now. If this happens again, please contact the author and share this error message:

Version: 1.22.4-b1
Message: TypeError: getTool(...) is undefined
URL: http://192.168.1.5/js/dwc.js
Line: 9406:16
Error object {}

I'm at a loss as to how to proceed, other than erase the memory and start again which I'm happy to do but need to know the exact procedure ( Is teh Erase jumper bridged with the board powered up?)

All help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

@crazyjane Some further information:
The Duet 2 control panel LED status is as follows:
LED E1 Heat - Off
LED E0 HEAT - Off
LED VIN - On
LED +5V - On
LED +3.3V - On/

CrazyJane

Wow!!! After countless edits and reloads of config.g everything suddenly miraculously returned to normal.
I'm delighted to be back in action but concerned that there is some intermittent glitch in my setup, so I'd still welcome other opinions, comments and advice!

Did you upgrade the main firmware, or Duet Web Control? The version of Duet web Control you were running was a beta.

CrazyJane

Firmware Upgrades as follows:
RepRap:
https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.02RC4/Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin
Web Control:
https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.02RC4/DuetWebControl-1.22.5.zip
PanelDue:
https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases/download/1.22.1/PanelDue-5.0i-7.0i-nologo.bin

Thanks. My guess is that you either hit a bug in the DWC beta that you were using before, or you were running incompatible versions of main firmware and DWC. I'm glad it's working for you now using the very latest releases.

CrazyJane

Thanks for your reply, just to confirm, I had already upgraded the Firmware when the problem file, but I accept that it could have been caused by something that I did when I tried to save the config.g file. The error corrected itself after renaming the config.g.bak config.g

dc42

@crazyjane, do you still have the original config.g file that provoked the error?

CrazyJane

@dc42, below is the config.g file I was using. I had changed the mesh pattern when the problem occurred:

@crazyjane said in [Solved] Duet 2 wifi Java error:

M557 X15:12 Y15:195 S20 ; Define mesh grid

Thanks. Looks like you accidentally set the upper X limit below the lower X limit. I'm guessing that the firmware doesn't do appropriate error handling in this situation. I will test it.

CrazyJane

@dc42 oops, I didn't see that, obviously a typo while I was changing the Z trigger. That might be the cause of the problem, I would also point out that the problem was resolved after reflashing the PanelDue i7, could it have caused the issue?
Anyway, you will be glad to hear that everything is fine and the first job is running for the past 3 hours or so, and I cannot say how delighted I am at the quality of the print, streets ahead of the original MKS 8 bit board.
Thanks for all your help and interest, much appreciated

dc42

I don't think that M557 line was the cause of the problem, because the error handling does seem to work properly:

m557 x15:12 y15:150 s20
Error: M557: bad grid definition: X range too small

m557
Grid is not defined

g29
Error: G29: No valid grid defined for bed probing

It could be that after upgrading Duet Web Control, your browser still had old versions of some of the web files cached, and the mismatched files caused the problem. It's wise to clear the browser cache when upgrading DWC.

CrazyJane

I'll do that in future!
