WIFI Antenna Mounting
-
Does the external wifi antennal for a Duet2 wifi have to be grounded? What I mean to say is, is it ok being mounted to a plastic part vs the frame of the printer? I'm having some wifi module issues that I'm attempting to isolate. TYIA!
-
I don't think so. What issues are you having?
-
@Phaedrux My wifi Module only seems to start up when it feels like it. I've updated the Wifi Module itself, the paneldue as well as the board. Its inconsistent so I'm trying to figure out what could be contributing to the issue. And I have the M552 in the config too.

Please share the results of M122 when you are connected.

@Phaedrux I just discovered the weirdest thing. What would my U endstop have to do with my WIFI and wether the other axis home? Do I have a short somewhere? Everything works as long as my U axis endstop is triggered. Nothing works if it isnt. That includes homing and my wifi module.

Do I have a short somewhere?
Seems that way.
Post your config.g and the results of M98 P"config.g" as well please.

Thank you...Thats done. I think we've managed to get off topic trying to fix this thing. We can call this solved and I can start another thread if you'd like. I think we've established that it was not the wifi antenna mounting causing my issues.
-
Did you identify the short?
-
@Phaedrux Yes I found it. I had two wires swapped on the U axis endstop. Thank you very much. I'm still not up and running but its progress. WIFI Module fires right up now.
