Windows 10 BSOD
Hello. I have Chinese board https://goo.gl/FgopMb similar to this one, running grbl 1.1f. I'm using windows 10 64bits to connect to this board using USB. After hour or two of continuous connection with LaserWeb, windows dies https://i.imgur.com/KqjO9qr.jpg complaining about CH341S64.SYS
I've read tons of reports similar to this one, and every time chinese chip was considered guilty by default, but the thing is that if i run, let's say, arduino serial monitor for hours or days it'll work fine without BSOD, candle or lasergrbl also works as expected, so i suspect that even if CH340 or driver have a problem at least there is workaround to run it smoothly. I dig a bit around and found that node-serialport known to cause BSOD for another converter https://github.com/node-serialport/node-serialport/issues/1681
it seems like for most recent binary build available for windows we using 4.0.7 version of node-serialport, while this commit https://github.com/LaserWeb/lw.comm-server/commit/bdee9271dd83ccacb00d8b9a121d449ff1c3fdae bumped version 6.2.2
Could you please release new binaries with this commit, so i can check if BSOD problem is gone?
I can confirm that using latest version from master i cannot reproduce issue anymore. That would be much appreciated if you can release windows binaries - i've tried to build them on my own for a while without real success and now i'm about to give up.
i decided to just install laserweb4 onto a pi3b if you have one laying around or can pick one up. id suggest doing it with the pi as you can leave the usb plugged in
I don't like the idea of solving software issue with bringing unnecessary hardware onto picture.
Sometimes you just have to unless you want to out in the time to fix the driver issues. I'm sure you can post a bounty to get it corrected. Try it and you won't look back. Been using octoprint for several years and it's amazing people still use SD cards / tethered pcs
@tsipa You can also solve the problem by using a decent controller board (with better USB driver), but I prefer the RasPi solution, because it's much more convenient to connect the machine over network.
