Ethernet & YAT Setup Issues

APlanetRider

Hello all,

I recently purchased a Duet2 Ethernet (v1.03) after we had a successful experience with a Duet WIFI but I am running into a series of frustratingly simple issues. After following the step by step guide, I can get YAT to connect to the Duet Ethernet however it will not respond to any GCode commands like M115 or M552. I also try to use the set IP address and it shows "nonresponsive" too (see photo below).

The "<Warning:CTA inactive,retaing data ...> message was not there when I setup the Duet WIFI. If I use Repetier Host to communicate with the Duet Ethernet, the M115 code will return with the current firmware version but M552 still wont ping a response from the Duet Ethernet. If I take the SD card out and pull up the config file, it reads:

Configuration file for testing Duet Ethernet and Wifi with V1.19.2 firmware

FOR TESTING ONLY! USE https://configurator.reprapfirmware.org/ to generate configuration files for your printer!

; Communication and general
M111 S0 ; Debug off
M550 PDuetTest ; Machine name and Netbios name (can be anything you like)
M551 Preprap ; Machine password (used for FTP)

;*** Networking
M552 S1 ; Turn network on

;*** Ethernet networking: Adjust the IP address and gateway in the following 2 lines to suit your network
M552 P192.168.1.14 ; (0 = DHCP)
M554 P192.168.1.255 ; Gateway
M553 P255.255.255.0 ; Netmask

I've tried to edit the IP address on the card but I am still somewhat new to this and can't get it to save my M552 P0.0.0.0 edit.

Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.

A few issues:

The firmware you are running is quite old and should be updated. But it should be OK to get connected, then you can update it over the network.
In YAT go to Terminal->Settings and change "Flow control" to "none". That should take care of the warnings and allow you to send data.
IP address 192.168.1.14 is probably not a valid address on your local subnet. I suggest you change it to 0.0.0.0 to let your router assign one. Here are two ways to do that:

(a) when you have YAT working, send M552 S0 to disable networking, then M552 P0.0.0.0 S1 to change the IP address and enable networking. With luck it will respond a little later with the IP address that your router has allocated. If it doesn't, send M552 without parameters to check the network state.

(b) move the SD card to a PC and edit the config.g file. Don't forget to tell your PC to eject or safely remove the device before you remove it.
