Wifi 2.1beta6 from 3.5.0-rc.2/3 still disconnecting
-
Do you get the same issue with the 1.27 release?

@Phaedrux Will the just released RRF 3.5rc3 work with WiFi Server 1.27?
I had issues with connection being dropped on WiFiserver 2.1 on 3.5rc2 so I rolled back to RRF3.4.6 -
@chimaeragh im still getting disconnect too with Duet Web Control 3.5.0-rc.2,Duet WiFi Server n/a 1.27-04S-D
-
@Phaedrux I guess that this is the version pre 2.1beta6? I saw the disconnects and the reconnects there too. But with a lover cadence and the board was reachable after the reconnect. So I never complained.
I can downgrade the wifi module if you want me to confirm that with 3.5rcX. Is it only me having that issue? I have 5 duet boards running here in my wifi and all 3.5rc boards have that hard problem. The others are fine.
Cheers, Chriss
-
Do not get me wrong, I do not complain about the disconnects. I complain that the board is not reachable after the reconnect.
-
@Chriss Can you connect via USB and run M122 when DWC is in the disconnected state? If so please post the M122 output here.
-
@gloomyandy Hard to archive to be honest... I hope that I can do that via the console on the display and get you a picture. Let me do that when it happens the next time.

i ran the printer most of the day with the USB lead connected and not one disconnect

@moth4017 @Chriss I'm also having the WiFi connection drop and then be unresponsive, running a Mini 5+ with RRF/DWC 3.5.0-rc.3 and Duet WiFi Server 2.1beta6. We're trying to catch this bug and fix it! Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I've just had another disconnection. I was manually sending Gcodes in the DWC console when DWC disconnected, and then sat trying to reconnect. There was no message that it had disconnected on the PanelDue. I couldn't ping the Duet using the local host name or IP address. Unfortunately I didn't notice if the WiFi LED was still on next to the WiFi module on the Duet.
I turned off the WiFi module module with M552 S-1 and back on again with M552 S1 via the connected PanelDue. I have a macro to do this now!
; 1_WiFi off on M552 S-1 G4 S5 M552 S1To be able to track this bug down, the suggestion from the developer of the WiFi firmware is to turn on logging with M111 for the WiFi module and networking, eg:
M111 P1 S1 Debugging enabled for modules: Network(1 - 0xffffffff) Debugging disabled for modules: Platform(0) Webserver(2) Gcodes(3) Move(4) Heat(5) Kinematics(6) InputShaping(7) unused2(8) PrintMonitor(9) Storage(10) PortControl(11) DuetExpansion(12) FilamentSensors(13) WiFi(14) Display(15) SbcInterface(16) CAN(17) Expansion(18) M111 P14 S1 Debugging enabled for modules: Network(1 - 0xffffffff) WiFi(14 - 0xffffffff) Debugging disabled for modules: Platform(0) Webserver(2) Gcodes(3) Move(4) Heat(5) Kinematics(6) InputShaping(7) unused2(8) PrintMonitor(9) Storage(10) PortControl(11) DuetExpansion(12) FilamentSensors(13) Display(15) SbcInterface(16) CAN(17) Expansion(18)This will mean a serial terminal needs to be connected via USB, so as not to miss messages.
You can also enable logging to SD card with M929, eg
M929 P"eventlog.txt" S3, turn off withM929 S0. This doesn't log debug messages that have been turned on with M111, though.Ian

@droftarts ive been running printer for 3 days now with the usb lead connected and not one disconnect ... typical
-
@moth4017 I was doing that yesterday. As soon as I disconnected the serial terminal, DWC lost connection!
Ian
-
@droftarts i know this is a long shot and i carnt see any logic why the connection to the USB would make any difference, but only seems to disconect when the usb is not connected, unless its somehow suppling more power to the wifi module
-
@moth4017 you can try to tape off the VIN pin on the USB cable to see if its really a back power issue https://community.octoprint.org/t/put-tape-on-the-5v-pin-why-and-how/13574
-
@oliof ran printer for a couple of hours today with USB connected , no issue , will add tape to USB lead and try again
that was a bit tricky to do

ok DWC lost connection

@moth4017 I don't see any M111 output from the WiFi module...
-
@gloomyandy hopefully o SD card but im printing at the moment so cant stop, funny how it lost connection shortly after doing the tape on the USB lead
<
-
@moth4017 Also what exactly do you mean by "lost connection"? Does the connection get re-established? Are you connecting to the IP address or to the <board>.local dns name? If the connection does not get re-established can you ping the board when it is in this state, can you connect to it from a different device?
-
@moth4017 The M111 output only goes to the USB terminal and you will only see it if you have the UART connection to the WiFi board in place.

I learned yesterday that I had a loop in my includes. So the FW opened the same 3 files over and over again, till a counter was reached. It seems to me that this made the WiFi module too disconnect and reconnect without being reachable in the LAN. But it is a guess only. I need observe the behaviour a bit more.
