Duet Wifi Webserver not responding

EasyTarget

You should be fine with a laptop and a USB cable; You'd almost certainly be OK even if you put it on charge (laptops typically stay isolated behind their powerbrick).
Once connected You can send [c]M552 S0[/c] then [c]M552 S1[/c] to turn off/on the wifi and it /should/ reconnect to the AP, Use [c]M122[/c] to see how that works out.
I have a RasPI with a USB link to my Duet, and have had to do this several times when the Webcontrol stopped responding during a print, and it was successful each time.

That's great, thanks dc42 and EasyTarget . All sorted.

RasPi as terminal server?

Only 121hrs to go…

Is there an fix in the works?
I'm starting to consider downgrading as in earlier versions the wifi was unstable too, but a simple refresh of the webpage reconnected the webinterface compared to restarting the wifi module via USB now.

Yesterday i noticed i can no longer view my Gcode Files in the webinterface as this causes an Request timeout and disconnects the webinterface (but can be reconnected without restarting the wifi)
In earlier versions this did not happen but the list of files was not always complete.

There is a separate thread on this. That problem has been seen recently when you have very large GCode files on the SD card. The workaround is:

Format the SD card to use 64K clusters, which is the largest cluster size possible
If the SD card is heavily fragmented, defragment it, or get a new card
Use a fast SD card. I get excellent results using a Sandisk 16Gb Class 4 card formatted to 64K clusters.

No real way to connect the PC to the device for debugging sadly. Not without a 150ft USB.

DIsconnections are equally bad when printing and when idle. The disconnects above are when idle.

dc42

Then WiFi signal strength looks ok, but have you worked through the rest of https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/WiFi_disconnections_and_AJAX_timeout_errors ?

deadwood83

Yes sir, Ajax set to 5 in Settings / General. No microwaves running, no cordless phones.
Every Sunday the WAP does a channel congestion scan and auto-selects the least-congested channels.
Currently one 3x3 is on channel 6 for gn and the other 3x3 radio is on channel 132 for anac.

No logs of disconnects from the router side unless I reset the duet.

Just to be thorough I turned off mobile data on my phone to check (4g LTE in the US can interfere with cable modem bonding so why not?) and no difference.

Edit: first channel has B mode rejection. Changed bgn to gn.

dc42

I'm not certain the wifi firmware 1.21RC3 is fully compatible with main firmware 1.20. So please try either upgrading main firmware or downgrading DuetWiFiServer.

Had only 50 MB of GCode files on the SD-Card with 10MB beeing the largest file, is this already considered "very large"?
The card has a read and write rate of around 1MB, may be its limited by the usb sd card adapter. I reformated the SD with 64k blocks but put only a few gcode files back so cannot test if it helps (sorry).

I probably will buy a new SD card and wonder if its usefull to buy a class10 as these are about the same price as class4, or does the duet limit the speed anyway?

dc42

No, 10Mb isn't very large. I have tested up to 300Mb.

When I tested class 4 and class 10 cards, I didn't see a consistent difference between them. See http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?416,664836,664836#msg-664836. Those results were obtained in 2016 using a Duet 0.6. The results for a Duet WiFi or Duet Ethernet may be different because they use a larger write buffer.

I have what sounds like the same issue, but using a Duet Ethernet. (seemingly) Randomly the web interface is lost, but the machine keeps printing, and PanelDue is still able to control operation.
Tried using chrome instead of Firefox with the same result. I cannot get a response to ping either though, which sounds different to the wifi issue above, though maybe due to the different hardware?

I'm almost certain I've seen the same on my Ormerod with original Duet as well.

I will try to do some diagnostics next time it happens.

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet Ethernet 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.20 (2017-12-23)
Web Interface Version: 1.20

dc42

Next time it happens:

1. Send M552 and see if it reports that the network is enabled and your Duet Ethernet has an IP address;

2. Send M552 S-1 then M552 S1 and see if you can then connect DWC again.

epninety

Will do.

What I did try earlier was to disconnect the lan cable, and reconnect it. The console on the PanelDue updated, showing 'Network running…' and the same, correct ip address.
IP address is configured fixed in config.g as

M540 PBE:EF:DE:AD:FE:EC ; Set MAC address
M552 P192.168.0.236 S1 ; Enable network and set IP address
M553 P255.255.255.0 ; Set netmask
M554 P192.168.0.254 ; Set gateway

and the two printers have different MAC - I just went back to check I'd done that, but they usually aren't powered up at the same time anyway.

epninety

OK, just lost the web interface again…

M552 issued from the PanelDue reports 'Network is enabled, configured IP address: 192.168.0.236, actual IP address: 192.168.0.236'
No response to ping.
No response to M552 S-1
No response to M552 S1
M552 no change in the response. Still no connection to web interface or ping response.

(Supply voltage looks odd at 22.0V, but it is deliberate and does not indicate a problem)

Maybe you can use M583 (Wait for pin) to wait for the release of the external switch before continuing to the M552 S1. I just ran into this issue as well on my first print with the Duet. It was fine for about the first hour and I was able to tweak the extrusion,etc but I was unable connect for the the last couple hours of the print (the print did complete successfully, though). LED on the Wifi module was still steady illuminated but my router indicated that the connection was not present. Pressing reset after the job completed reestablished the the link.

TickTock

Sorry. That was out of context - I just now noticed there was a second page of discussion.

daveidmx

There're multiple different issues being reported on this thread. The one I'm experiencing is where the web gui goes offline but I can still ping the device.

Do you still need more logs for that one?

I'm seeing this on FW 1.21RC3 (2018-02-28 build 4), WiFi server 1.21RC3 (28b1), web interface 1.21-RC4.

I have a few logs I pulled, which I can supply if you need more info. Of note, though, I'm seeing this on the serial console:

[[language]]
HTTP req, command words { GET /rr_status HTTP/1.1 }, parameters { type=3 }
New conn on socket 7 for local port 80

WiFi: ../src/Listener.cpp(62): refused conn on port 80 no free conn

An M586 P0 cycle (S0/S1) did not resolve it:

[[language]]
HTTP is disabled
WiFi: recv../src/Listener.cpp(118): stopped listening on port 80
HTTP is enabled on port 80
WiFi: ../src/Listener.cpp(174): listening on port 80
WiFi: ../src/Listener.cpp(62): refused conn on port 80 no free conn

I also have a full network trace. When I refresh the browser, the gist of it is:

[[language]]
--> TCP SYN
<-- TCP SYN ACK
--> TCP ACK
--> HTTP GET
<-- TCP ACK RST
<-- TCP ACK RST

dc42

@daveidmx, thanks for that, the "no free conn" is the source of the problem. Which main and wifi firmware versions are you running? Please try 1.21RC3 + DuetWiFiServer 1.21RC4 if you are not already running those, because they include some relevant fixes.

daveidmx

Thanks! I'm running these:
@daveidmx:

Is that what you were suggesting to use? Or is there an RC4 of DuetWiFiServer I should test also? I'm looking here:
https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/EdgeRelease/1.21RC3

dc42

Please try RC4 of DuetWiFiServer, by following this link https://github.com/dc42/DuetWiFiSocketServer/blob/dev/Release/DuetWiFiServer-1.21RC4.bin and then pressing Download.
