Hi, this appears to have fixed the issue, thanks.

Hi,

One of my MB6HCs is no longer connecting to the internet over ethernet.

I have 3 Duet MB6HCs, each running a large plotter machine. For connectivity, each board is connected to an Ethernet switcher which is then connected to a Wifi range extender. This setup has worked great for a couple months but one of my Duets no longer connects to the internet.

The machine appears to still think it's connected as entering M552 returns this response:

Ethernet is enabled, configured IP address: 0.0.0.0, actual IP address: 192.168.1.119

But going to the IP address listed either returns ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT on my browser or the web interface will work properly for around 2 minutes before disconnecting and never reconnecting.

If I enter M122, I get this:

I've already attempted to fix this by:

Updating the firmware
Restarting the machine
Swapping the Ethernet cable
Swapping the port on the Switcher

Nothing has worked at the moment. The other two Duet boards still connect to the internet just fine.

Does anybody have any idea what could possibly be wrong?

@dc42 Apologies about the delay.

I received the 1HCL warranty replacement and installed it as before, but the connection problem persists; the MB6HC still doesn't recognize the expansion board, the STATUS LED on the 1HCL doesn't flash (the V_FUSED LED does light up solidly and the voltage indicators flash rapidly)

I attempted to diagnose the issue by seeing if there were any obvious problems such as powering the Mainboard and 1HCL with separate power supplies, checking the continuity of the RJ11 cable and voltage (there is continuity and voltage), cutting open the the RJ11 cable to see if their wires were twisted (they weren't), reflashing the Mainboard's firmware.

Nothing has worked and now I'm stumped.

@dc42 the STATUS LED on the 1HCL doesn't flash with only power and CAN connected either.

@droftarts

Thanks! That appears to have fixed my issue and now my MB6HC can now consistently connect to the internet.

Hi all,

I'm setting up a Duet 3 Mainboard 6HC and trying to drive a closed-loop stepper motor through a 1HCL expansion board. However, I can't seem to get the CAN connection to work at all.

The only LEDs that light up on the 1HCL are V_FUSED and +12V, while STATUS remains completely off. The RJ11 cable is straight through.

I've attempted to reset the CAN address back to the default by shorting the CAN_RST pins, but that appears to have done nothing. I get this message typing in M122

M122 B123
Error: M122: Response timeout: CAN addr 123, req type 6024, RID=7

Hi all,

I recently purchased a Duet 3 6HC Mainboard with a WiFi module. During setup, I noticed that the WiFi module didn't light up when I plugged the mainboard's USB cable.

Also, whenever I used the M552 command, it would respond with Ethernet is disabled, configured IP address: 0.0.0.0, actual IP address: 0.0.0.0.

I updated the mainboard's firmware to 3.4.6 and was able to successfully perform a firmware upload to the WiFi module with M997 S1 but checking the board's network status using M552 always mentions ethernet instead of WiFi and attempting to connect to a network results in the following error:

Error: M587: Failed to add SSID to remembered list: WiFi module is disabled

I've tried the above with another WiFi module which results in identical results and the voltage drop between PWR and GND on the pins for the ESP are the correct ~3.3v.
