Its got ethernet, the link light comes up but I cannot ping it

I have checked with a USB cable and M552 shows the the expected IP address, I can see the firmware booting logs including the message saying the HTTP server is active.

Checked with wireshark and not traffic seen from the network event with a direct cable.

Set a new IP address and all that seems to work as expected but still not connection to the IP address.

Any ideas?

I have a friend who 's been looking around at Laser Engraving units.

Cut a long story short, he's had a bit of a bad experience with trying to purchase an item from America.

Can the Workbee be used as a laser engraver?

Is there a dedicated Workbee forum?

I wanted to get an idea of how high the spindle travelled the z axis from the spoil board when it is raised.

I presume its meant that about 44mm +1/2mm of exposed end mill would be the limit of exposed end mill and material thickness combo?

With different length end mills, it would be good to know what kind of clearance you would get from using an end mill exposed at 20/30/40/50mm.

If I use a longer endmill, can I cut thicker material.all the way through, will the spindle raise high enough to clear the work?

If the Z axis were taller, I could get a cutting depth of the longest 1/4" end mills I can find, but raising the spindle high enough to clear the work is a bit unclear.

Hope I'm not being obtuse.

Thankyou :)

In the Workbee Control Software, "Jobs" screen layout, is there anyway to modify the display.

The reason I ask is that when I want to select a job from the list all those I have created, I have to scroll down and down through a narrow column list of word-wrapped names. However, there are 6 columns to the right (to do with 3D printing I think), which are of no use to me. If I could remove/hide the unwanted columns, I could then have the job filename's column much wider and display a lot more files per screen, by turning word-wrap off!

I know this is not a major thing, but I think it would be helpful to all those of us who don't use/want 3D printer files info cluttering up their screen unnecessarily.

PS: I've had a look around at all the multitude of settings, but couldn't see anything related to display settings.

Living in hope for a solution!

I have upgraded firmware to version 3.3.0 - 1.2

When homing i get

G28 error failed to activate endstops.

The config-axes-endstop.g file reads

; Endstop configuration executed by config.g

M574 X2 P"xstop" S1 ; Set active low X endstop

M574 Y2 P"ystop" S1 ; Set active low Y endstop

M574 Z2 P"zstop" S1 ; Set active low Z endstop

on the software endstops do not show a status

If i trigger the end stops the board will correctly show a red light but no status show on software.

If I change config to

M574 X2 P"xstop" S0 ; Set active low X endstop

M574 Y2 P"ystop" S0; Set active low Y endstop

M574 Z2 P"zstop" S0 ; Set active low Z endstop

(The above is the code used before update)

The software will show an incorrect status of triggered

If I manually trigger an end stop it will correctly show a red light on the board and change status to not triggered.

if I add an invert code either M574 X2 P"ixstop" S0 or M574 X2 P"ixstop" S1

I get the original error of G28 error failed to activate endstops.

In all cases the endstops correctly trigger a red light on the board when manually activated.

I did complete step 11 in the firmware update.

My board is a duet 2 ethernet

I am getting this error - previously all seemed to be well. Machine homes fine. I tried using an old gcode file and setting machine in centre of the bed but still same issue.

Do I need to go back to any calibration and reset anything?

Hoping you can help
