Heaters not working, strange message

Phaedrux

@tomasl said in Heaters not working, strange message:

What is DWC?
In the download there is a folder called "sys" whewer the bin-file is located together with the .g files and config.json
there is also a folder named "www" containing, what I guess the web-interface

The easiest way to update everything is to upload the combined zip file release. It contains all the firmware and DWC files, etc. It will place the files where they need to be and you don't have to worry too much about it.

TomasL

Well will obviously do that, when I'm on site.

It seems that the config tool didnt use the last firmware, so I was on version 3.0

TomasL

I did an update to version 3.3, now absolutly nothing is working.
I can connect with an terminal, but I cant get WiFi working.

@tomasl reflash the wifi firmware.
make sure its in a folder called firmware on the root of the SD card and run M997 S1

TomasL

How do I reflash the firmware, and where do I find it?

Ok, now I have the WiFI working, thanks, but no tempeature sensors, despite config.g hasn't changed.

Oops, sorry, it was the "extra sensors" that was displayed, not the actual sensors.
Now, the message "generic.heaterStates.disconnected" has dissapeared.

@tomasl can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing and can you confirm your current config.

TomasL

It seems to be sorted, the view of extra heaters was selected, not the tool heaters.

Occasionally when updating the wifi server it will fail silently. Reflashing again using M997 S1 usually fixes it, as you've found. Sorry about that.

Glad to hear the rest of the update seems to have gone well and you're DWC is now back in sync. I suspect that what may have happened was the opposite of what I originally expected. The DWC files were updated, but your firmware was not, so there was a cryptic message for the heater since DWC wasn't getting the response it expected from the firmware.

You can check that you have 3.3 firmware and DWC now by looking at the Settings > General and Settings > Machine Specific tabs in DWC.
