wifi:g-code_file

G-code file


Connecting to WiFi

  1. Save the file “wifi_setup.gcode” from the link below or Copy & paste from the code block below.
  2. Using a text editor; Windows Notepad, Notepad++, or similar program
    1. Replace “SSID” with the name of your WiFi network - don't leave spaces after the SSID name unless your SSID has spaces at the end
    2. Replace “PASSWORD” with the password for your WiFi network - don't have spaces after the password unless your password has spaces at the end
    3. Verify there is a blank line for the last line. If there is not a blank line then add one.
  3. Save the file with the extension “.gcode” e.g., “wifi_setup.gcode”
  4. Copy the file onto a microSD card and insert the microSD card into the printer.
  5. From the Print menu select the file you just copied to the card.
  6. The printer will go through a short routine. The fan turning on/off and homing of all axes is only done to let the user know that process has started and when it has ended. i.e. The important parts are the two lines that contain M550 & M551
    1. The fan will turn on to signify start
    2. The printer will move to home position to signify start
    3. SSID & Password will be saved to the printer
    4. The printer will re-home itself
    5. The fan will turn off to signify completion
    6. Sometimes the LCD doesn't show the job as complete but you can cancel the job or power cycle the printer.

NOTES:

  • WiFi and USB cannot access the printer simultaneously.
  • Disconnect USB cable from the printer if you want to use the WiFi function.
  • WiFi works with 2.4 GHz b/g/n networks only.
  • These next two notes apply to when connecting using the Android & iOS apps.
    1. If you have a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network using the same SSID(wireless network name) you may have trouble connecting the printer.
    2. For initial WiFi setup try moving the printer closer to the WiFi router.
