Connecting to controller without internet

I have just completed the build and I'm now looking at connecting to the controller, I have no internet in my workshop and mobile internet is not available to use as a mobile hotspot. Phone signal has always been terrible I have tried several different networks over the last 10 years.

How do I connect to the controller?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for linking the guide about Peter. It is slightly out of date. Here would be the latest instructions for the Z1+

To put your Controller into Access Point Mode please complete this guide to get connected via USB: ++https://learn.ooznest.co.uk/Guide/1.+C...

Once in YAT send the following commands:

M552 S0

Wait 10 seconds

M552 S2

If you now go to your computers WiFi list. There should be one called 'WorkBee'

Connect to it using the password: 00000000

Then in the Web Browser go to the IP Address: 10.10.10.10

It should connect to WorkBee Control

To make this permanent. Inside WorkBee Control go to File Management > System Settings > Edit config-network.g

Change the following section:

; Configure Connection - ENABLE ONLY ONE OF THE BELOW THREE
M552 S1 ; Enable Wifi Network
;M552 S2 ; Enable Access Point Mode
;M552 S1 P192.168.251.2 ; Enable Ethernet - Change IP Address to suit

To:

; Configure Connection - ENABLE ONLY ONE OF THE BELOW THREE
;M552 S1 ; Enable Wifi Network
M552 S2 ; Enable Access Point Mode
;M552 S1 P192.168.251.2 ; Enable Ethernet - Change IP Address to suit

 

Once changed your board should restart and now permanently be in Access Point Mode.
