No it's not green anymore, it used to be. But i think when i pressed ERASE it stopped turning green.
I tried the recovery procedure as described in the documentation several time but without success.
I made a small video to show you what is happening :

Thanks DC42,
iam worry now. As you mentioned i tried to use different usb cables ( the red one on the picture i use is working properly since i used it to activate the wifi originally) without result. I also tried to erase and then use sam-ba to inject the firmware, but the board doesn't get detected on widows. I opened the device manger and look at the Ports (COM & LPT), but the list doesn't update when i plug the board. i also tried with and without the sd card as well.
I tried the procedure from :
https://duet3d.com/wiki/What_to_do_if_your_Duet_or_Duet_WiFi_won%27t_respond
https://duet3d.com/wiki/Updating_main_firmware
without success…

It sound like this board is faulty, DC42 do you think i should send it back ?

Thanks DC42, i will check the config.g when i can access back the web interface.
unfortunately my duet wifi stopped working for some reasons. I can't access the web interface from the usual ip adress.
To troubleshoot it i plugged it in usb, but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it. Then i unplugged all the wires from it thinking it could be a short circuit, but still when i connect the board to the computer in usb, it doesn't get recognized ….
This is a picture of it:

Does the Diag Led is alerting that there something wrong?

Should i try to reset or Erase ? Maybe the microsd broked ?

Thanks for your answer DC42.
So i plugged my fan to fan1 as you mentioned. But the fan is turning ON when i turn on the duet wifi, as an always On fan.
Towards which temperature the fan start to turn on ? I leave in singapore, the average temperature here 30 degrees

Hi,
I have an extra fan attached next to my print head that should turn on when the temperature is high. So i plugged it on Fan0 on the duet Wifi. The problem is it never turns on …
The fan is wired correctly because when i plugged it into "always on fans" it is turning on when i start the duet.
I guess i am missing a configuration line in my config.g file ?

Hi yes finally i have resolved this issue.
I bought a multi-meter and realized that my wire was faulty … So i changed it and now it all work as intended!
thanks a lot for your help guys.

Thanks for your answer DC42.
Yes the heatE0 led light up red when i choose a temperature.

If no, have you selected tool 0?

Iam not sure what do you mean? To test the print head i just choose a temperature from the drop down menu on top of the screen.

If yes, check the resistance between the ferrules to make sure you have good connections.

Yes i think i'll go ahead and buy a multimeter next week!

Hi,
I am new to electronics and 3 printing so please bear with me
Iam trying to test the head heating function of my delta printer. The temperature sensor seems to work fine, but the heating wire seems to have an issue.
This is how i wired it:

When i select a temperature in the duet wifi, the temperature doesn't rise up …
Any idea why ?

Ha i fixed it!, mechanical issue

This is what happen when i execute the auto-calibration : https://youtu.be/g-fBQl13hDI

The first calibration point works fine, but then the head twist … Any idea why the head twist like this ?

I figured it out!
my end switches where wired the wrong way! now my homing function works!
Next step, auto- calibration!

In config.g, when i change this line M574 X2 Y2 Z2 S1 to M574 X2 Y2 Z2 S0 and click "home all" the 3 axis are going all the way up, but they dont stop when they touch my end stop …

Actually testing a bit further. When i click "home all" a first time, the motors truns on, then i click a second time, the 3 motors are moving down a little.
The "home all" doesnt execute all the g-code from the homedelta file ?
it doesnt seem to execute: G1 S1 X320 Y320 Z320 F1000
Going all the way up.

I tried to put the code into a macro:

; Homing file for RepRapFirmware on Mini Kossel
G91 ; use relative positioning
;******* Change F250 in the following line to F2500 when you are finished commissioning
;******* Change 320 in the following to a higher value if your Kossel has taller towers
G1 S1 X320 Y320 Z320 F1000 ; move all carriages up 320mm, stopping at the endstops
G1 S2 X-3 Y-3 Z-3 ; move all carriages down 3mm
G1 S1 X6 Y6 Z6 F250 ; move carriages slowly up 6mm, stopping at the endstops
G1 Z-5 F2000 ; down a few mm so that we can centre the head
G90 ; back to absolute positioning
G1 X0 Y0 F2000 ; centre the head and set a reasonable feed rate

But it doesnt work either…

Hi,
this is a very beginner question iam sure.
Iam trying to configure the homing action on my delta printer. I have configured the files following the wiki, now i want to trigger the homing action and see if it works, but how ?
In the Machine control tab, i click the "home all" button, but then nothing happens. I can hear the motors turning ON, but nothing move…

Thanks!

It seem to be working well now, i have also plugged my power supply and i can now access the web interface in wifi without the usb wire.
Is there a specific procedure to turn off the Duet Wifi ? At the moment i am just powering on and off the power supply, but iam not sure it's the best for the board. Is there a Gcode to execute to just tell the board "shut down" ?

Haa yes! that was it! thank you so much, i can now continue the step by step wifi tutorial!

Hi DC42,
Thanks a lot for your help. I do not have a PanelDue. When i connect the board i have 2 red led. I join a picture here:

I have windows 10, and the device manager do not pickup any new device. I also tried on my windows laptop and with an alternate usb wire without any luck.
I also tried the 3 procedures as listed here:
https://duet3d.com/wiki/Updating_main_firmware

But the board still doesn't get detected …

Iam trying to follow the step by step guide here:
https://duet3d.com/wiki/Getting_connected

i have installed the RepRap drivers on my machine as recommended (https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Driver).
Unfortunately when i plug the board to my computer it doesn't get recognize by the system …
Would it be because i need to move the 5V jumper in usb power ?
