Newbie need help

Hello everyone!

My name is Viet, I had bought reprappro fisher delta. Right now my problem is that I can not connect to the web interface (I have set IP address in config.g), even when I plugged directly throught cable from my laptop to it? What is the solution to fix this problem? Pls help

Thanks for helping,
Viet

First check the lights on the Duets network port there should be an amber and green light and they should be flashing.

if you have removed the SD card put it back in and cycle the power

next check the IP address of in the config.G and check the IP address of your computers Ethernet port, IF you have your Ethernet port set to automatic change it to a fixed IP, within the same subnet as the Duet, IE if the Duet IP is set t0 192.168.1.14 then set your computer IP to 192.168.1.99, both with subnet masks of 255.255.255.0

now open a command prompt and try doing a ping, ie PING 192.168.1.14, if you dont get a ping whilst you are in the command window type IPCONFIG and check that your Ethernet settings have taken correctly.

if you still have problems then reply here with a copy of your config.G file and a screenshot of your computers Ethernet port settings

Thanks for your reply
This is what I have:
1. Both of the light are on
2. I set the IP like the way you said, I ping it and destination host unreachable

Take the semi colons out of the lines that set the IP address in the config.G anything after ; is considered to be a comment and doesnt have any effect

in fact the entire section of the Config.G looks messed up, it should read as follows with each code on a separate line...

M550 PRepRapProFisher
M554 P192.168.1.14
M553 P255.255.255

etc
maybe you should go back to the original config.G file and start again

So you mean move the semi colons from the IP address?

anything after ANY semi colon is a comment, Ideally each line starts with a M or G code, but looking at your config.G you have lost many of your carraige returns ge look at where it says

; GatewayM552 P0.0.0.0

it should read

;Gateway
M552 P0.0.0.0

if you post your actual config.G rather than a screenshot I can edit it for you

This is the default config.g file, so basically i changed it to 172.5.0.30 to match my router at my house

yup as I thought, that file is massively messed up, give me 5 minutes

Just take your time, i just want to know why it didnt connect each other, because in the first time i downloaded full pack of reprappro firmware, it was already in there, make me 1 week research and troubleshooting from their wiki and still no work, so just take your time

OK. here is your new file, note how its constructed, each line starts with a G or M code and the comment is after it, you should be able to cut-n-paste this code into your config.G file ...Just spotted an error in the line M558 command

Thanks but it is still not working, do I have to aware something, like is there some button like reset, or change the firmware??

Make sure you cycle power, after inserting the SD card, if you still have trouble just use the following lines and see if you can ping or connect then copy the rest of the file in

Still not working, it appear only the reprappro's icon, and connection_timed out

OK, so, you can get a ping to the Duet now?

Unreachable but no loss

Hm, not sure why you could see the logo then, try going back to a direct connection using 192.168.1.14 for the duet and 192.168.1.99 for your computer, until you get the fisher commissioned leave the router out of it

It doesnt work even when I try another computer

Hello bgkdavis , right now im trying to do it from the begining, havent changed anything , download only fisher_beta_020915.zip, unrar and put it into the SD card, now what should I do next?

Other than update your firmware I've already told you everything there is to know about network connection

check your network card is working
check your config.g
check your computers network settings
don't use a router until you get it to work

.....check your firmware, but unless your board has NO firmware or you have wiped it then its unlikely that an old firmware wouldn't have functioning network drivers

another thought.... if your computer has WiFi, then turn this off

presumably you have already checked you cable and computers network port is working

if you want, i could give you my team viewer ID so that you will know where i did wrong?

It could mean that the SD card isn't being read at startup. The common commissioning instructions for the Ormerod, Huxley and Mendel printers on the RepRapPro site explain how to use Arduino serial monitor to connect to the USB port and check for this.
