ok i switched out the fuse and still ony one red light comes on by the usb
my computer does see the board it comes up as duet 2

fuse is burnt out, is this a 1amp fuse?

so sorry for that. I am terrible with taking pics. I hope these are better







unfortunately that didnt go so well. I heard a pop and now the fans (24v) for the board stopped running. So I unplugged and rewired but it seems I have some lights off and some new light on. The red light came on on the duet wifi2 by Y stepper motor plug.
also
I think the led light for the 3.3v and 5v indicator are no longer on

and here is what I'm seeing on the display.

great and can I use a different wire connector for powering the boards instead of ferrules? I have some 18 16 and 12 awg braided wires laying around but no ferrules left over. I could get pins from the local hardware store but ferrules will take a min of a week so I was hoping use the pin or a different terminal connector

so if I understand correctly I could use a 18awg wire from the psu to the duet2 wifi and then a 16 awg from the duet2 to the duex5?

@Phaedrux said in Troodon duet2 wifi + duex5 install:

ow-resistance connection between the negative (ground) terminals of the two VIN terminal blocks.

I didnt understand low-resistance connection between the negative (ground) terminals of the two VIN terminal blocks.

What size wire is that? also can the bare wire be placed in the terminal or does it need a crimped terminal connector?

K I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but I totally overlooked connecting the duex5 power. I am having a hard time finding documentation on how to wire it
Do i split the power supply from the duet2 and run it to the duex5? Also does the wire need a u terminal connector or can i just strip the wire and stick it in?

sorry

@Phaedrux
i connected to the wifi by following these steps https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.)+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7

in the yat I got the Ip address
i just powered up the machine and am unable to ping the IP address
I will go ahead and add those macros, but FYI my current macros don't show on the paneldue and its constantly saying connecting in the top right corner... also still now messages in the console

I was able to get the duet connected to the network but i couldn't reach the dwc when i typed in the ip address.
i replaced the current sys folder with a new one created from the config tool. I am still not getting any thermitor readings on my paneldue. I will go ahead and double check my wiring.

again thanks for the guidance

should i just upload my current config file to the config tool?

I havent tried to bring up the web interface yet.
ill double check the wiring
I have not created a new config since I am afraid of messing something up
Im also not sure if this machine is considered a core xy or a core xz

cool i did that however i am still not getting any readings for my thermistors and my fans by the board arent turning on , there are no messages in the console on the paneldue
im not sure whats going on

now just need the duetwebcontrol update and im done but when i do m997 s2 i get
m997 s2
ok<LF>

@Phaedrux
ok so i noticed in the config file m552 s1 so i // it out
also as you recommended i changed the file name to just duetwifiserver.bin
this time it looks like it worked i got this message in yat

First off,
Thanks for the detailed info. I really appreciate it.

I used bosa to update fw and m115 to confirm
i got FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.05.1 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-02-09b1<LF>ok<LF>

when I send m997 s1 i get
M997: File DuetWiFiServer.bin not found<LF>ok<LF>

I do have it in the sys folder, so im not sure why it doesnt see it.
Can I use the formbot vivedino troodon config file that was on the sd card instead? Im afraid ill mess something up compiling from scratch.

Hi I'm switching my main board in the troodon 3d printer to duetwifi2 I had laying around and a duex5 board. I'm having trouble with updating the firmware of the board. I figured since formbot used reprap I could just plug in the sd from the old board and play but unfortunately the board isn't recognizing .
The console isnt reading off any code and I can't run m997 so:1
What am I missing that I cant update the fw.
My current fw says 1.17
