Duet Connection Problem

Hi Guys,

My Ormerod has been working fine up until this afternoon, I even printed something last night.

I just went to print something today and after turning it on, tried to connect through web interface, and it just refuses to connect!

It won't connect through Pronterface either (it just spams with temperature readings). It is, however, showing up in the device manager and I am able to flash the firmware. I am currently on the official firmware 57a and still no go, either through Pronterface or the web interface.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Les

Are you still using the original SD card? Can you connect via Arduino serial monitor? Perhaps the SD card or SD card socket is no longer working.

Yes I can talk to it via the Arduino serial monitor.

The SD card works fine in my laptop.

OK I, found the problem is with the Duets Micro SD card reader. If I wedge a piece of this card in with the card it reads it.

If you have a soldering iron it could be worth re-doing the card reader pins again?

Thanks for the suggestion Dave,

It's not the pins that connect the socket to the board but the pins inside that make contact with the card. (Thinking about it I have had the odd problem where I have had to put the card in and out a few times for it to work., but as I only take the card out for web interface upgrades, it's only been out a few times)

If I look into the socket with a magnifying glass I can just see a pin or two is a fraction lower than the others and as I don't want to invalidate any warranty, I am not going to mess with it. I will send reprap support and email to see if it can be replaced though.

Regards,

Les
