Hi,
My computershows - couldnt finde workbee.local server IP address. What to do? And when I should plug in the usb cable? It wasnt menthioned..
Hi, this all works splendidly and I got my Workbee connected first time. However, I think this article should really be entitled “Connecting your Duet to a Windows PC or Mac using Ethernet”. I am looking for an article on how to connect the Duet via Ethernet to a router, so it can be accessed across the local network.
