First of all chrishamm thanks a lot for ur work and especially the web control. I have installed it today the way you told ( uploading the zip file) and i am still running some connection problems. This time it is even worst as there are some cases that i cant connect through one of my w7 pc.
I guess doing what mhackney suggested won't hurt, but since your connectivity problems occur on a Windows machine, I strongly advise you to reset your TCP/IP stack. I've heard of several cases where this actually helped.

So, now that I upgraded, I was trying to access the Duet via Telnet and FTP. I was never able to get Telnet to connect. I was able to get on via FTP using the default password (reprap), but that was about it. I have set a different password in config.g, but that didn't change what FTP was wanting. Also, when I tried a 'dir' command, it responded that I had to use PASV first. I tried the 'passive' command, but that was reported as an invalid command. I am using the Windows 7 FTP command to try and access it. With telnet, neither the Windows or PUTTY could connect.
What am I doing wrong?
Hmm, Telnet should work anyway. I have no problems connecting to my machine with either PuTTY or Linux's default telnet utility. As for FTP, I suggest you install FileZilla and configure it as outlined here: [reprappro.com]
Dario, I'm afraid there is no useful information in there - it looks like "Emergency STOP" was pressed on your web interface (or M997/M999 was sent), so I cannot spot an error in the firmware. If it rebooted due to an error, it would either show "watchdog" as the last reset reason or the reset code would look different.
deckingman, I could change the labels a bit, but then I'd need a few new translations for the web interface. That's why I was a bit reluctant to change the captions. Btw, if anyone is willing to expand the current translations, I'd be happy to accept pull requests on my GitHub repo

@PRZ, I run 3 duets from a single instance of the browser (Firefox, Chrome and Safari all tested) with no problems. They do not share list items - if I add something to one, it stays unique to that one.It is true that when you flush the browser cache, you loose these list items. I've been leaning more on macros since they persist on the Duet CF card.
In addition to the list items, the appearance and behavior and UI timing items are also lost. The Show Fan Sliders is really the only thing I wish persisted. I've modified my local DWC to do exactly that.
I was wondering why my favourite settings would "randomly" disappear! I'm having problems with my Firefox installation and have flushed the cache a few times - I hadn't linked that action to changes in my settings... now I know...

Christian, you indicated in a post that the DWC configuration is stored in local storage.
It means you have to make a configuration for each browser/device you are using for printer control.
Also, you loose configuration if local storage is cancelled
I am using Firefox, where you could separately remove cookies and local storage.
I cancel cookies at the end of each session for privacy reasons, but local storage is supposedly NOT cancelled (I don't know if it is possible to check that). However, I lost DWC configuration at each new browser session.
So, I modified the file model.js to have my configuration permanent. This also have the advantage that the configuration does not depend from the point of access.
The problem is that this shall be redone at each DWC issue.
Might it be possible to store the configuration in a file on the SD card instead of the local storage, this file being independant from model.js, and not cancelled while updating ?
I looked this up the other day and noticed that cookies and localStorage are bound together. If you disable cookies, Firefox will disable localStorage as well. However, you can add an exception in Firefox for DWC by changing your privacy settings to "custom" and by adding the Duet's IP/hostname to the list of allowed exceptions. That will allow you to keep the DWC settings in the future. Your request is reasonable though, so I may add an option to store the settings on the Duet's SD card to a future DWC version.

Also, as you have now implemented M143 (I was quite interested by that, as I can run fairly hot and I experienced a few safety triggers) , you may define the temperature graph scale based upon the temperature defined by M143 ?
Thanks for this idea, I agree that makes total sense. I'll implement that in DWC 1.12.

And a last point, RepRapFirmware is beginning to be implemented on other boards than the Duet, so a more generic name for Duet Web Control may be pertinent ? And it may be workable to use this web interface on other firmware either.
Well, that may be true, but keep in mind that DWC is an individual development for the Duet and I'm not aware of other boards that implement the same HTTP interfaces yet. I know there is RADDS, but it doesn't have ethernet and while there is another DWC fork for the ESP8266 (for Marlin, IIRC?), it required many other customisations and is based on a rather old version.
Dario, what surface.js file? I guess that's a left-over from the old web interface, because DWC doesn't use that file at all

DWC, it's just a name...
Just call it "darn wicked controller" and be done with it
