Interesting. Well that would suck. I'll try to look into it. Maybe late tonight I'll mess with the network. But wouldn't an M588 S"*" command still work? I've never even connected to the network once.

M588: Failed to reset the WiFi module to factory settings

it sometimes helps to reset the wifi module with M552 S-1 M552 S0 before M558 and before M557

@bearer Ok, thanks, I'll give it a try

@bearer Awesome, well that seemed to do something.

M552 S1 should turn on wifi and you should be good?

(M552 S1 is all you need in config.g as well)

While i go get the 6.5x55mm rounds from the safe try M557 one more time with the M552 S-1 M552 S0 before it, and give it a few seconds between each command.

Not sure what to do now

duck .. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

which terminal are you using and are you typing or pasting commands?

itslikeboo

@bearer It's all pronterface. I'm just reusing from the command history with the up key.

@itslikeboo said in "Bad reply format version." Not sure how to proceed.:

pronterface

oh, is your SSID and passphrase all UPPER CASE or are you making sure to work around that as described below?

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M587_Add_WiFi_host_network_to_remembered_list_or_list_remembered_networks

For example, M587 S"ABC" P"P'A'S'SW'O'R'D" would specify that the password is "PassWord".

Everyone should have putty installed, and it also works as a serial terminal without silliness like the capitalization so that might be worth at try.

Also tell us if this is relevant to your issue

The use of special characters in the SSID cannot be guaranteed to work. In general it's best to avoid most special characters. Spaces, periods, dashes, underscores, and other punctuation is likely ok, but special characters on the number keys likely are not safe. (@#$%^&*). If you are having troubles adding your SSID, try a simplified version with only letters and numbers.

if still troublesome; duck and/or i'll take aim..

droftarts

@itslikeboo can you send M587 on its own, to show that a network SSID has been saved?

Pronterface is ok in a pinch but the capitalization thing makes it problematic for wifi.

Another way around it is to put the add network name commands into a macro file and then execute that either via the paneldue or M98 on the terminal.

That's some quality documentation sleuthing. I wouldn't have seen it! Unfortunately, the only special characters in the SSID are the hyphen and underscore. And no caps in the password. It'll be a pain to change the SSID where I am but I may need to try it.

@Phaedrux That's interesting. I guess I can give that a try.

itslikeboo

@bearer Wait! I think you were right! Head back to the safe. I just spammed the M587 command with this apostrophe formatting and although I got "Failed to add SSID to remembered list" every time, when I tried the M552 S1, it started right up! I don't really know why, and I'm nervous about powering down but it works for now.

Does M122 display the wifi firmware version now?

@dc42 Yep. 2.05.1

That's the main board firmware version. The WiFi firmware version is displayed later, under the WiFi heading.
