DuetWIFI Web Interface will not connect, but did before

HenryDara

This is from an M115 to the board...
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.02RC5(RTOS) ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-11-28b1<LF>ok<LF>

Also M503 gave good response, telling me the SD card is working.

I can ping the Duet at the reported IP, and confirmed no duplicates by turning power off, and then not getting a ping back from the Duet.

For now I am just using a terminal for access to the Duet, but would like to get the wep page working again.

@v3dprinting I am using Mozilla Firefox in windows 10, and did try your suggestion, restarted browser, but still no go. This problem seemed to happen regardless of which PC I try. I was able to use other PC's to access the Duet, and they stopped talking about the same time, leading me to believe the problem is on the Duet end. Could be a 3 way coincidence i guess, but my gut says no.

@dc42 Sorry, I meant M588 Forget WiFi host network which reported back success.

@elmoret You are right, my bad. It was the PanelDue that had China on the board. Comfort level rising.

What error message does your browser give when you enter the IP address of the Duet in the address bar?
Please confirm that after you check you can ping the Duet, if you power down the Duet you can no longer ping it.
Is the blue LED on the WiFi module lit?

@dc42 Im getting unable to connect messages from the browser. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and IE. I can open other pages on these browsers. I did already confirm by powering off and then NOT pinging, then powering on and being able to ping again. The blue light is on solid, and when I run a M552 S1 I get confirmation of connection to the same access point as the PC is currently on, as well as the IP address of the web server on the Duet.

@dc42 I think for now I just need a workaround for when the interface doesnt work. I was using it to edit the machine configuration, which modified the Config.g file seamlessly. Now I think I have to make edits manually to that file on my PC, and saving to the file on the SD card. Kinda scary, and cumbersome, but ive already wasted a day on this, and I dont seem to be getting anywhere.

Are you running compatible versions of the main firmware and DuetWiFiServer? All recent main firmware versions work with DuetWiFiServer 1.20. You can run M122 to check the firmware versions.

@dc42 It returned...

=== Diagnostics ===<LF>RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet version 2.02RC5(RTOS) running on Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5<LF>Board ID: 08DGM-9T6BU-FG3SN-6JTDG-3S06S-KBYVF......

@dc42 So it started working on all browsers, and connects instantly again. The only thing I did was re-write a new config.g file to the SD card with minor machine modifications (namely motor direction) Another difference was that I changed the machine name in the new Config.g file. If it happens again, I will try changing only the machine name to see if it has an affect.
