@Veti thanks that seems to have done it

@Veti OK so I create a folder but where do the files for that folder come from,?

@Phaedrux Yes I am probably missing something . I have inputted 'Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin' and confirmed that I have 2.05.1 entered. I have also loaded 'iap4e.bin'but I think need a web control input.

I suspect that my sys file is in a bit of a mess so will start from the beginning

@Phaedrux Long, rather weary, story. I thought I had fried my ethernet duet 2 so bought a wifi one. After a while I got a config file that appeared to do what it should so put it back in the ethernet board. I connected through YAT and for the first time got an IP address, I have now connected direct to my router and the USB cable and the web console actually opens but there is an error message. "Failed to get file list"" directory 0:/macros not found

@Veti the config may say it is for a duet o.6 but has been heavily modified. My firmware is 2.05

This is driving me mad!

Attached my config file

Why am I using pronterface
a) Because I have always used it since my first printer (an Ormerod 2) bits of which were used to build My Grandfathers 3D Printer
b)I cannot get the web controller. With USB only connected (no power) and the printer connected both blue lights are on the duet. but try as I may I cannot open the web page

I am sure that I am missing something! My setup with Duet 2 wifi seems to be working ok. With pronterface I can get all the necessary movements, heating, and extrusions. However thing go wrong when I try to print using the reprap snowman. It appears to home all axes but does not heat up and the x axis creeps

I am having a problem in getting my extruder to heat. Reading through some of the comments I think that I should update the firmware in my duet to 3.1.1 however I have downloaded this as a .bin file that I cannot open with windows 10. I am sure that there is something i am doing wrong but cannot find it

Nearly there! Downloaded the files using "Configuration tool 3.1.10". Initially got "insuficient homing" but this was cured with G92 X100 Y100 Z100. Slight problem - on initially homing X it overshot the end stop microswitch but then settle down. Now to connect the heaters and thermistors

@jay_s_uk Thanks for that. I have used it and got a .sys file out of it. I have read somewhere that code S is now used in the latest firmware as a laser switch and now has to be replaced by H. Is this true and do I have to change S whereever it appears?
