New firmware 1.19alpha

[LeonMF]

Weirdly enough, it has been behaving itself all afternoon.

One notable behavior (when it was behaving poorly) was that I was usually getting the DWC pages served to me but connection to the firmware was often not working. Since the DWC shouldn't work if I don't have connection to the system, it seems to be something a little different than the normal AJAX problem.

Next time you get an unexpected reboot, run M122. Look at the last reset reason, and if it is Software then report the software reset parameters.

There are no known software issues in DuetWiFiFirmware that cause resets in the current version, but if you have hit a new one then I need the software reset data to help diagnose it.

Your browser may choose to fetch the DWC pages from its cache, but not of course the live updates of temperatures etc.

jeez this seams extremely difficult to install lol.

Hi David,

So I ran in some same instability problems too,

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet WiFi
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.19alpha1 (2017-05-04)
WiFi Server Version: 1.19-alpha1
Web Interface Version: 1.15c

Update was succesfull to 1.19alpha1. Before, I was running 1.18.x (but not 1.18.1) and never had connectivity or stability problems

First, after restarting the webinterface I lost connection a lot. I got AJAX-timeouts and no connection to the firmware in the webinterface. So I tried to investigate:

I restarted the Duet Wifi without webinterface but withPronterface connected and waited 10 minutes ( and got the Webserver: rejecting message with: not found, in Pronterface in that time). Connected at 10 minutes later to the webinterface and it connected, so it somehow reestablished itself (and was still connected to Pronterface). Then heated the bed up and waited 10 minutes. Still connected to the webinterface and Pronterface. After that heated the hotend and waited 10 minutes. Still connected to the webinterface and Pronterface. Homed, let the motors idle. Precisely when the current from the motors was cut off (idle-timeout) Pronterface and the webinterface threw an error, see below for Pronterface M122. Pronterface says it's software-related. Maybe this helps

And now I tested it without Pronterface / usb connected, cold restarted Duet. Just homed and moved down a bit, waited for the steppermotor-timeout in idle: precisely when the motors are cut off, I get " Communication Error

An AJAX error has been reported, so the current session has been terminated.

Please check if your printer is still on and try to connect again.

Error reason: timeout", in the webinterface.

[LeonMF]

@dc42:

Next time you get an unexpected reboot, run M122. Look at the last reset reason, and if it is Software then report the software reset parameters.

There are no known software issues in DuetWiFiFirmware that cause resets in the current version, but if you have hit a new one then I need the software reset data to help diagnose it.

Your browser may choose to fetch the DWC pages from its cache, but not of course the live updates of temperatures etc.

I'll check M122 if it happens again.

I thought of the cache so I loaded it from Safari (which I never use) instead and got the web page with no connection to the firmware. Also, at no time in my history of using this platform have I ever had a case where the web page would serve while not be connecting to the firmware unless I was already connected and it dropped the connection. Meaning that on a first navigate, it always either connected or didn't load anything.

I'll update if I find anything else.

[LeonMF]

FYI, I replaced my board with a Duet Ethernet and I have reliable connection now. I'm on 1.18.1 and 1.15a on the Duet Ethernet, though.

[percar]

I was having problems with connection to duet wifi with version 1.19 alpha 2 and 3. i couldnt connect no matter what i tried….Then i saw DC 42 remark about shutting down the wifi module. M552 S-1 (dont forget the minus sign) I did this and sent M552 S1 to start it up again...has been working flawless. Its a miracle when you follow directions...LOL

[dvmourik]

I had the same problems… disconnects and reboots of the machine after few moments.
Back to 1.18.1 now and everything works like a charm.

If you want me to debug/try more David, let me know.

[Sniffle]

DC42, now that the baby is here and we've moved houses, I can do a little testing.

What do you need tested to confirm CoreXY Kinematics, or I should say, How do you want CoreXY kinematics to be tested?

I have a C-Bot with a 7" Panel Due and a BLTouch probe, All are currently working properly now with 1.18.1 firmware, and with a little effort I maybe will be able to get it on video. When I am able I will gladly help with testing.

[dc42]

@Sniffle and @dvmourik, if you are using Duet WiFi builds then please wait until I have released a new 1.19alpha build and then try it. @dvmourik, if ever you get the Duet rebooting by itself, please run M122 and share the result, in particular the restart/reset data.

[minim]

I'm also having some problems with disconnects and reboots. Upgraded just 2hr ago so didn't test it much yet but I allready had a problem with the interface just loading like I can't click any buttons and staying there until I hard-reboot it with power down. Testing first print with it now and it seems fine but hope the problems with locking/stopping doesn't come to often. Seems to print fine

Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.19alpha3 (2017-05-09) <–- this was marked alpha2 on github
WiFi Server Version: 1.19-alpha1
Web Interface Version: 1.15c

[minim]

update: tried to access the web interface 70% into the print and the printer just stopped mid print. When web interface finally opened it showed that no axes where homed and the temperatures where going downwards.

Hope these issues is easy to solve so I don't have to downgrade to 1.18 again. Please let me know if there is any logs or dumps I can provide you with.

I have just released version 1.19beta1 for the Duet WiFi. See the new thread on that version for details. Please can those of you who have been trying 1.19alpha upgrade to that version. You need to do a simultaneous upgrade of DuetWiFiFirmware and DuetWiFiServer again, but you should not need to re-enter your access point data because it will not be erased by the firmware upgrade.
