Octoprint communication issues

General Software
1

Taz 6 V3 Dual toolhead. Running latest firmware and Cura. Historically, I could connect to Octoprint\RP3 via Cura and start prints from within Cura with the wireless… Since installing the V3 Dual, the connection isn’t reliable. Every print job the tool head just stops. If i click the “fake acknowledgment” button in Octoprint, the print resumes for a while, then freezes again until I click the “fake acknowledgement” button again.

I’ve tried reflashing my RP3 with a fresh download of Octopi and now I’m running into other connection issues, primarily octoprint is struggling to connect and stay connected to the printer. Below is my serial log, I successfully made a connection and after a couple minutes the connection failed.

Oh and I already replaced the USB cable. No change.

Is this happening to anyone else?

below is my serial log

Change Octoprint’s baud rate to fixed at 250000.

3

Changing the baud to fixed 250000 (as suggested above) will eliminate some connection time since Octoprint won’t have to trial/error to find it.

But the problem you are having (the timeout) doesn’t appear related to baud rate. Octoprint found the correct baud rate (250000), and was operating at that rate.

The log shows a problem while reading the list from the SD card; either a problem with the SD or perhaps a communication error. I would suggest checking the SD card for errors, or try a different SD card, as a first step.

4

set fixed rate to 250000…new error

Unhandled communication error
There was an unhandled error while talking to the printer. Due to that OctoPrint disconnected. Error: EEPROM CRC mismatch - (stored) 8643 != 55636 (calculated)!

for some reason, continues to receive info from firmware… Weird.

See above post, fixing bad rate wouldn’t allow connect. Reset back to auto (still connected at 250k), pulled SD card and connection remained stable. Will attempt print and post update serial log.

There is missing data (partial replies) in the last two logs you posted. That, and failure to connect when set at 250k look like a bad cable or bad USB port. Set to 250000 and leave it there - that is the correct setting. Use a short (<2m) usb cable and keep it away from power cords. If you can’t get a reliable connect at 250000, nothing else is going to succeed after that either.

You are using firmware 1.1.5.44. There was a change in 1.1.5.71 that was specifically intended to correct problems with dual extruder (extra temp report data) overflowing the Octoprint buffer. I therefore recommend using 1.1.5.71 (or later) firmware since you have a dual extruder.

Only other thought - IF this happened only with the new tool head (and 1.1.5.71 doesn’t solve it) - is that some component there is bad and causing enough electrical noise to interfere with usb comm. Might be time to ring up Lulzbot support.

Having an SD card plugged in with LOTS of files on it falls into this condition! AKA: It takes TOO LONG to list ALL the files…

8

Agreed – but until the communication stream is coming through complete (right now, it is missing portions) it is tough to tell if there is an actual timeout condition or not. In his initial log, the M20 was issued at 20:31:47 and responses were flowing fine to 20:31.51 (so just 4 seconds) – then they stopped. So the timeout didn’t occur because file names kept coming through for too long, rather it occurred because there was NOTHING coming through.

9

It listed for over 30 seconds and then died, but the output of the M20 was truncated. That is why it did not timeout after they unplugged the SD card.

10

No, to the contrary the log shows file listing only lasted 4 seconds, then abruptly stopped.

The M20 was: Send: M20 2018-03-04 20:31:47,712
The last file response was: 2018-03-04 20:31:51,809 - Recv: /PRODUC~2/JIGS/XY_PAR~1.GCO 2219443

That is only 4 seconds later. The firmware stopped responding right after that. The next messages were "20:32:23,618 - Recv: " (empty or truncated message) and then Octoprint logging the timeout with “2018-03-04 20:34:23,725 - No response from printer…”. The file listing stopped after only 4 seconds. Then a partial message 32 seconds later, then nothing. Either the firmware stopped sending the list, or a communications failure prevented it from being received.

That indicates either a communications failure or an SD card problem. After removing the SD card, there are still missing characters in the received data – which isolates it to a communications issue. The root problem is NOT the Octoprint timeout value.

11

As much as it might amuse me to try explaining RX buffer size overrun to you it really is not worth it. The data was received just not kept.

12



That might actually amuse everyone. But which is it, a timeout from a long running M20 command, or a buffer overrun? Make up your mind please. :wink:

I understand serial comms and buffering (in general, and specific to Octoprint) just fine, thank you. The kind of buffer overrun you describe does not match what is shown in those logs. Neither does Octoprint’s long command timeout value. Even in the initial connection response, there are missing characters – if there was a buffer overrun problem with the firmware and/or Octoprint there, it would be happening to everyone.

Look at this line, for example:
Recv: FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin FIRMWARE_VERSION:1.1.5.44 EXTRUDER_TYPE:DualExtruder v3 SOURCE_CODE_URL:https://code.alephobjecN2 M21*1iffusion/MARLIN PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:LulzBot TAZ 6

I agree that LOOKS like a buffer overrun at first glance – there are certainly characters being lost – but digging deeper it isn’t a simple case of firmware sending too fast / too much for pyserial and Octoprint to process. Octoprint on an Rpi3 has no trouble keeping up with that output, and that output is common to everyone. Something else is causing the character loss – bad cable or port, or interference perhaps.
