When you ran into the problem, did you have diagnostic logging enabled?

Diagnostic Logging was Enabled: YES

What were you doing when the problem occurred

  1. I am attempting to use Octolapse in a fairly unusual way. Essentially I have a Pi camera mounted on 2 axis cnc, controlled by GRBL, for use in an image scanning setup. Better GRBL is installed for translating the commands.

What should have happened?

A gcode file of a raster scan is uploaded, interspersed with G4 delays which trigger the camera.

What happened instead?

When Octolapse is enabled, the 'print' does not start, and eventually times out from lack of communication. It's related to the M114 command. Better GRBL translates M114 to a ?, which is the command GRBL uses for position reporting. GRBL returns the following: <Idle|MPos:0.000,0.000,0.000|Bf:15,127|FS:0,0>. Basically, is there anyway Octolapse can be configured to be compatible with GRBL?

Please consider becoming a patron

If you like this project, please support my work by becoming a patron, and consider adding a 'star' to the repository. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the project and respond to issues. The cost of test prints, software, cameras, printer parts, etc. can quickly add up, so every bit helps.

I think I just need to accept that type of position response. Can you send some M114 and G0 commands so I can see some various responses and learn to interpret them? The OctoPrint terminal will do nicely for that. I'd like to verify which axis is which (I would assume it's X, Y, then Z, but better safe than sorry).

Here's a log of connecting and then sending a few commands. Better GRBL automatically translates any M114 command sent through the terminal to the ?. It also translates any M105 command to the ?$G.

By the way, thanks so much for taking the time to have a look at this.

@Fabillous, thank you! Hopefully I can dig into all this within the next couple weeks. As you can tell, I have a backlog :)
