Thing-o-matic Clone timeout

Open t2ac32 opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

HI EVERYONE! I have a (i think) Thing-o-matic clone, the printer is called come3d. I've always use this printer with replicator g. But recent changes in mac OS has made the arduino clone almost impossible to use. So i decide to instal OctoPi to my raspberry pi 3.

The only problem i have is that when i try to connect after a couple of second i receive a time Out error.. Im currently using Octoprint 1.2.10 and GPX Plug in 2.5.5

The Machine type i use when using ReplicatorG: - Thingomatic w / HBP and Stepstruder MK7

The error in octoprintConsole:

Unexpected error while connecting to serial port: /dev/ttyUSB0 Timeout: 'Timeout' @ comm.py:_openSerial:1459 (hook GPX)

  • The error appears around 5 second after pressing the "CONNECT" button Im using a baud rate of: 115200

pdf user manual of the come3d printer: http://www.tinyosshop.com/datasheet/Come3D%20Printer%20Guide.pdf

¿Any ideas? ¿Should i install any extra divers for my pi to recognize the arduino?

Thanks on advance!

I haven't ever tried this with a Thing-o-matic. It may be that GPX is generating new x3g opcodes that are incompatible with the s3g protocol that the TOM used. You could turn on verbose logging in the GPX plugin (settings->GPX->verbose) and then try to connect. You can download that log file from Settings->Logs and then upload it somewhere (dropbox) and share a link here so we can take a look at the bytes getting sent and received.
