Duet wifi lost web connection

dc42

It's possibly a progressive loss of message buffers, which prevents both a full status response to DWC and a full M122 report.

Is it any different if you use DWC 1.22.6 instead of DWC2? You can revert to DWC 1.22.x just by putting "/reprap.htm" after the Duet IP address in your browser address bar.

@dc42 same behaviour when using dwc 1.22 with the ip/reprap.htm method

I guess I'll have to start leaving my printers on overnight to see if I can reproduce this. Does the problem occur if you leave the printer idle for 2-3 days, or only if it is printing?

Adrian52

@dc42 away for the weekend - will check next week

Adrian52

@adrian52 I think I may have found the answer for my issue - this comment on a thread yesterday rang a bell:

gnydick 1 May 2019, 07:33

One possibility. I found I have a DC power brick plugged into the same circuit that is SQUEEEEELING, I think a cap is ready to blow. That could be interfering.

I had a noisy DC brick supplying a desk lamp next to the duet. Since I unplugged it, I have had the printer on all day with no lost connection or failed M122

That's interesting. Why would that be?

avaradus

@dc42 In my case, this happens when it is printing

@dc42 See the video https://youtu.be/psSlSt5nMyk
I'm trying send command M122 but result is truncated and not full =(

Does it get as far as displaying the "Used output buffers" bit? That's the 4th line down from the top.

avaradus

@dc42 Yes, that is right 20 of 20 max. How can i increase the number of buffers?

dc42

I will increase the number of buffers in the 2.03 release, however I am not sure that increasing the number of buffers is the solution. The question is, why are all the buffers allocated and not getting released?

Do you access the Duet via the web interface from a single device (PC/tablet/smartphone), or from multiple devices? Many firmware versions ago there was a problem with buffer management if you turned a device off without disconnecting it from the Duet in DWC first; but that was fixed (it now times out and releases the buffers for that client after 10 seconds of inactivity form the client).

You can monitor the number of buffers when the machine is idle. When I run M122 from DWC with just a single web client and an attached PanelDue, it reports either 1 or 3 buffers allocated.

avaradus

@dc42 I have only one computer and one connection to the web interface.
DWC too often sends requests. When many requests fail, repetitions are performed without a timer delay. IMHO at this moment buffers overflow.

dc42

@avaradus, I'll ask chrishamm how long DWC waits for a response before timing out and sending another request.

Next time this happens, please try closing the browser tab that DWC is open in. Then wait more than 10 seconds, and after that either use YAT to send M122 and check whether the buffers have been released, or try reloading DWC. What should happen is that if DWC doesn't receive any traffic from an IP address in 10 seconds, it should time out that client and release any associated buffers.

avaradus

@dc42 Now again it happens. I'm connect via USB and send M122. And i see Used output buffers: 15 of 20 (20 max).
Then i wait 10 secs, i wait 30 secs, i wait 30 minutes and nothing changes.
i see the Used output buffers: 15 of 20 (20 max).
I try to turn off Wi-Fi with M552 S-1
WiFi module stopped
Again send M122
And still nothing has changed: Used output buffers: 15 of 20 (20 max)
DWC cannot connect and results M122 truncated and not full again.

I confirm the problems with the Wifi connection in 2.03RC1. In combination with HTTP + FTP, the connection was extremely unstable, it was impossible to transfer files over hundreds of bytes either via http or ftp.
Editing config.g to disable ftp caused it to self-delete when writing.
Recovered on sd card from backup.
In the only http mode, it became possible to record files, but the recording speed dropped 10 times.

I get this all of the time. I just turn my printer a little and it fixes everything.

avaradus

@dc42 now i'm returned to WiFi Server Version: 1.21 and IMHO problem solved ?
Printer have uptume Last reset 98:00:53 ago, cause: power up
And connection not lost all that time!

May be wifiserver version 1.23 totally consumes memory then controller lost any connection, and freezes.

Unlikely. Please try switching between 1.21 and 1.23 enough to be certain that there is a correlation between the DuetWiFiServer version and the problem occurring.

If you connect a USB host and send M111 P14 S1 then you may get some useful WiFi diagnostic messages reported to USB.

avaradus

@dc42 Yes unlikely. Now with wifi server 1.21 again connection lost =(
With M122 I see Used output buffers: 24 of 24 (24 max)
All connection DWC to DUET is canceled.
i try disable wifi with M522 S-1 but used buffers is not release.
Automatic release of buffers is broken and not work =(

Hi,

We have same problem with freezing duets in longer prints. Is this problem already solved ?

Thank, Supik (TriLAB)
