Introduction
Please read before proceeding to avoid damaging the controller and voiding your warranty
Do not have the USB cable connected at the same time as the Mains Power.
Do not connect the WorkBee to a computer via USB when you don't need to. The Duet has either an Ethernet or WiFi connection, so USB is generally used only when debugging and initially commissioning the controller. All CNC Operations including uploading G-Code files can be done via the web interface.
Do not connect the Duet via USB to a laptop running off mains power.
Other devices powered from the mains may create ground transients. These will flow through the USB cable and may cause the Duet to reset or perform abnormally.
At no point should you press the reset button on your Controller as this can potentially erase the firmware and require your controller to be sent back for testing.

some of the descriptions of the things that we do are not very clear, this is in general through out the whole process.
this should be more simplified, there are people in this world that cannot follow instructions that are not clear to follow, i my self suffer from dyslexia not as bad as others, I have been lucky i have had my wife helping me even she can’t get to grips with some of the instructions.
I know we can contact ooznest for help but you cannot be available all the time especially with what is happening in the world at this time,
unfortunately i am still having problems with the Open Duet Web control.
thank you
