Hi giorgio64.

Does the reader work in case you use a standard SD/TFT card?

Hi.

Sorry, but my question was, if the card reader works properly in case you put a standard SD card into it, not the Cloud.

oldman4U avatar Jun 23 '20 08:06 oldman4U

Yes my reader with standard sd card work fine

OK.

Which TFT or Mainboard are you using with the device and do you have another which you could use for a test?

oldman4U avatar Jun 23 '20 08:06 oldman4U

Hi.

Any news regarding the reported issue?

oldman4U avatar Jun 25 '20 10:06 oldman4U

Dear,

I can confirm that without being connected via USB, it does not connect to the wifi! When I connect to a power bank or my PC via USB, I can transfer files but what is the point the aim was to do the same but when inserted in the SD slot of the printer! For information I even flashed the card with the latest firmware available here, from June 30th I think with the same result! It is really disappointing. Especially that it seems that the average speed can reach 250KB/s, that was my minimum hope. I hope that this a software issue that can be fixed ASAP.

Actually the card is working for now only as an SD adapter 8(.

i have the exact same problem. Bought the WIFI-Module with the SKR Mini E3 V2.0 for my Ender, which worked fine after installing. Today I set up the module, had access from the pc, but in the sd-card slot its just randomly blinking.

Edit: if connected via USB, I can ping the module, via SD-Slot I can't

the problem it seems it might not have enough current on most printers 3.3v line to power the esp8266. so when giving it more juice from a external 5v supply to the internal 3.3v regulator then it can do it.

Not working with BTT SKR 1.4Turbo :(

Just found this out on my BTT Pro V1.1 using Marlin 2.0.6. Configuration_adv.h When selecting #define SDCARD_CONNECTION ONBOARD (Configuration_adv.h), the TF cloud device will not start the Blue led blinking (when trying to connect to WIFI) and as a result, can not connect to the device via computer for file transfer.

By changing this selection to #define SDCARD_CONNECTION LCD (Configuration_adv.h) will allow the TF cloud to connect for usage.

I have the same problem with the SDCard Cloud. When it's plugged into my PC via USB it connects to my WiFi without problem. If I plug it into the (working) SD card slot on my TFT35 V3.0 it does not. There is no WiFi connection at all, although the files on the card are visible on the TFT itself

May I ask how you managed to flash the firmware? I assumed it's just a case of uploading to the root of the inserted card, but that doesn't seem to do anything here.

Thank you. I am looking at it now.

3d-designs avatar Sep 14 '20 17:09 3d-designs

Did anyone manage to resolve this problem?

3d-designs avatar Sep 25 '20 11:09 3d-designs

Do you have the same problem?

oldman4U avatar Sep 26 '20 08:09 oldman4U

Do you have the same problem?

Yes, I can connect to the WiFi absolutely fine when it's connected via USB to my PC. When it's plugged into the TFT35 there is no WiFi. The SD works (that is, the SD card contents are visible on the TFT) but WiFi doesn't start.

3d-designs avatar Sep 26 '20 09:09 3d-designs

And you have a red and green led at the button lit up and is the blue Led flashing every 20-30sec?

No whitespaces in the SSID name?

oldman4U avatar Sep 27 '20 18:09 oldman4U

It's not an SSID issue as the WiFi connects fine when powered by the USB. When it's connected to the TFT the LEDs seem to be working, but the device won't connect to the WiFi, even though the TFT is only 1m away from the USB socket on my PC, so it's not a range problem either.

If I move it back to the PC, it works normally.

3d-designs avatar Sep 27 '20 20:09 3d-designs

I asked something different.

I don't understand what you mean.

oldman4U avatar Sep 27 '20 21:09 oldman4U

No, what I see is

All LEDs flash very briefly on power on Red and Green LEDs stay on After about 10s the blue one flashes furiously for about 5-6 secs but does not come back on again after this

Ah... althought very oddly indeed, it is now actually connecting, despite my not having changed anything. I had tried it countless times before and now it seems to have worked. That's worrying.

3d-designs avatar Sep 28 '20 06:09 3d-designs

Ah, I think I now have more data:

If I connect the WiFi to the TFT when it's connected to the SKR, it doesn't work and behaves as I describe. This includes flashing the blue LED every 20 secs or so. If I reset everything, the WiFi starts to work as it seems to connect before the TFT connects to the printer. If I remove and replug it while connected, it doesn't work.

3d-designs avatar Sep 28 '20 14:09 3d-designs

Moving target.

Mine has red and green on as soon as there is power. Blue flashes also followed by approximately 25sec nothing, then the blue flashes 41 times and I can connect after that. Once I have the time I will make a ticket and describe all those things.

Let me know how it works for you.

oldman4U avatar Sep 28 '20 14:09 oldman4U

If I connect the WiFi to the TFT when it's connected to the SKR, it doesn't work and behaves as I describe. You mean you start everything and then you put the WIFI into the TFT. I saw this also, but finally this is not a real life case - at least for me. Or do you mean something else?

Also. when i remove the SD card with the SETUP.INI and start the printer, the WIFI module shows the blue LED flashing every 20sec or so. This seems to be a timeout it tries to connect to the WIFI in case no connection could be established. I believe this even more, because when I have this behaviour and I insert the SD card, the next cycle, the module connects to the WIFI.

Another thing: SETUP.INI has to be plain text. Using a RTF textile does not work.

CORRECTION: Inserting the WIFI module once the printer is already powered up - once the WIFI module reaches a timeout interval, the blue LED of the WIFI module flashes 41 times and connects to the WIFI.

In any case, once connection has been established, the every 20sec flashing does not happen anymore and the blue LED only flashes during read/write operation.

I mean that it seems as if: If I connect the WiFi when the TFT has a connection to the printer, the WiFi doesn't want to connect to the WAN. If I connect the WiFi when the TFT isn't connected (on power on, or a reset) then it will connect. I have left the device connected for quite some time in the first scenario and it doesn't seem to connect however long I seem to leave it.

3d-designs avatar Sep 28 '20 15:09 3d-designs

I used 2 different mainboard (SKR v1.4 and SKR Pro v1.1) and 2 different display (TFT35 E3 v3 and TFT28) and they all work, does not matter how I connect them.

The TFT has to be connected to the mainboard during startup, everything else makes no sense.

So you have the mainboard connected to the printer, but the WIFI does work, what does the blue LED at this time?
