got a new duet 2 wifi controller which guide do I use, not sure if this one has firmware for 3d printers on it, how do I flash it with the correct workbee firmware?
Is this a good question?
Hi Brian,
Download this zip: https://we.tl/t-VSUzQibMN0
Extract the contents, and then put the contents on a blank SD Card.
These are the files for a 750x750 Wifi WorkBee running a similar firmware version to you.
If you can get connected, then complete this guide: How To Update WorkBee Firmware V1.0.7 > V3.3.0-1.2

Hi Thanks again for your reply. I have been able to connect to the duet using YAT. The controller has assigned an IP address so that part works fine. But please keep in mind, I’m a complete noob and when I try and load the Url http://workbee.local/ it just shows page cannot be displayed in my browser. Should I have installed the workbee control software to my PC or something? Also Just a quick after thought, I don't have a memory card installed. Does the duet need something on a micro SD card?
Brian, instead of putting http://workbee.local/ , try putting the IP address that you got from YAT into the address bar.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I typed the ip address into my browser and i get this message
"Your Duet rejected the HTTP request: page not found Check that the SD card is mounted and has the correct files in its /www folder"
This must suggest that it is looking For a SD card, I never received an SD card with the duet. my question now is, I have a spare formatted one (Fat32) what do I need to put onto the SD card
Hi Brian,
Thanks for your email.
Do you have an Order ID with us so I can see which one you bought and check this?

Sorry bit of confusion, I didn’t get the duet 2 wifi from you, but the Workbee was from you. The workable was a kit bought by my boss a long time ago (maybe one of the first you had) and was gifted to me part built but practically brand new. I broke the Xpro 3 controller with a stupid mistake and purchased a duet 2 just to hopefully get this machine working. and will be upgrading as and when I finally have it fully cutting.

Thank you so much, I have now successfully updated and connected to the Duet, all I needed was a SD card with the right files on it. I have now been Able to upgrade to the latest firmware, Now to fully test all the rest of the machine and hopefully complete the first project guide over this weekend. Big thanks for all who helped me and a massive thanks to Robert at Ooznest.
