I've pretty much got everything plugged in and working, the only thing that concerns me now (the last thing) is that when I power the board the LED indicating the PWM 1 fan is always on. I have checked all my wiring and thermisters are all plugged in and in working order.

I've also checked that I dont have the M106 command in the config.g file, which I dont, what else could be causing this?

Many Thanks
Rob

Thanks both, thats what it was, I only had the bed thermistor plugged in but hadn't yet configured it correctly.

Thanks for the reassurance.

Hi all

I have a question regarding the LED lights while powered up.

While being powered up via vin the 3.3, 5 and vin leds light as they should but I also get a red fan led come on also, is that nornal…I ave nothing else.plugged in the board except psu and ethernet.

Many Thanks
Rob

Its Sorted

I really do appreciate your help and being in constant contact….thank you.

As it happens it turned out to be a bad Ethernet cable, I was using the wrong type of Ethernet cable, soon as I changed it, it loaded straight into the interface.

Thanks again, excited again
Rob

Hi

I did that and gor the following response:
Connecting…
Printer is now online.

M552
SENDING:M552
Network is enabled, configured IP address: 192.168.1.14, actual IP address: 192.168.1.14, HTTP port: 80

I entered that IP address into my browser and received this message:

192.168.1.14 took too long to respond.

I seem to have communication with the board in Pronterface and in Arduino but I keep getting stuck at the above stage. I cannot connect to the interface but the board seems to be configured okay.

I appreciate your help.

Okay I'm really struggling with this, no matter what I do I cannot get connected to the web interface. As far as I can tell the firmware was flashed properly with the most recent update 1.17e. I've tried pinging the board and I do not get a response from it, I'm getting confused with varying guides from all over the internet.

I'm doing an upgrade from RAMPS so I'm not that new to this…I constantly get timed out messages, would be great if there was a guide to walk through step by step, I'm just picking up bits of info from everywhere..at the moment I'm just getting frustrated and the excitement is slowly dwindling...please help

Thnak you

Sorry..what do I need Pronteface for? I have simplify 3d, will that do th same?

Do I need to also download the Duet Web Control and flash that?

This is what I'm looking at:

https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Release/Duet-0.6-0.8.5/Stable

I downloaded the 1.17d, I do not have Pronteface on my computer do I need it? It was about 290k in size.

Is there a step by step guide that I can follow?

Thanks for replying
Rob

Thanks for the quick reply

When I check device manager it sees it as a USB serial device (COM4).

The only thing I have done is flashed the firmware, so I dont know if there is anything else I need to do after that, I have been following lots of guides but seem t be going around in circles.
