[title] Check your Firmware Version
-[* blue] Windows users:
- [* red] After the COM port has been configured, send command ***M115*** to the Duet board.
- [* yellow] The Duet will return the firmware version being used.
-[* blue] Mac users: You will not see characters appear on the screen as you type. For this reason, it is easiest to copy and paste the commands to ensure correct syntax.
+[* blue] By this point, your computer should be connected and talking to your Duet. You may have received a number of messages from the Duet already; it's generally safe to ignore these for now. The Duet uses 'G-codes' to communicate. See the [[Gcode|G-code dictionary here]] for a full list and description.
+[* blue] If you have a ***Duet 2 Wifi***, you may find you are getting a lot of messages like ''"WiFi reported error: no known networks found"''. The default configuration turns on the WiFi, but it is not finding a network to connect to. To stop the WiFi, send ***M552 S-1*** (see [[Gcode#Section_M552_Set_IP_address_enable_disable_network_interface|M552]] in the G-code dictionary).
+[* red] To check the Duet's firmware version, send command ***M115*** to the Duet board (see [[Gcode#Section_M115_Get_Firmware_Version_and_Capabilities|M115]] in the G-code dictionary).
+ [* yellow] The Duet will respond with the firmware version being used.
+[* blue] Mac OS and Linux users using 'screen': You will not see characters appear on the screen as you type. For this reason, it is easiest to copy and paste the commands to ensure correct syntax.
[* black] Copy ***M115*** and paste into terminal and then hit enter. You will see OK when a succesful command is received. Wait a few moments and the firmware version will be displayed.
-[* black] Once you know the firmware version your Duet is using, check for the latest version of the firmware in our [https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/|Github repository here]. Use the 'Latest release', not any 'pre-release', 'beta' or 'RC' version until you are familiar with Duet.
-[* black] If your Duet is using an old firmware version, we recommend upgrading. See [[Installing and Updating Firmware|Installing and Updating Firmware]] documentation.
+[* icon_note] Once you know the firmware version your Duet is using, check for the latest version of the firmware in our [https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases|Github repository here].
