Just motors control or just projector control over Photonic3D

[Momboz52]

It is possible to have an "ORed" configuration for a Photonic3D printer? I mean, it is possible to have just the motors serial port active without any projector serial port, or vice versa? The reason I am asking this is that I am not interested in the projector control but just the motors control. Here is the page I am talking about:

If that's what you want, then don't setup a projector at all. Just plugin your hdmi cable. Then setup your display to last available display.

Thanks,

Wes G.

Hi Wes If my understanding is correct, you are proposing to configure the printer this way:

However if I do so, and then try to start the printer it lands in a never ending loop and doesn't start.

Did I understand you correctly?

Many thanks

Yep, that looks about right. I'm not sure what you mean by landing in a loop. Download a diagnostic after it fails to start and attach to this bug.

Dear Wes I thought a video could more than many words. Then here a video that shows you both situations. 1st one: I created a simulated display with no port selected and in this configuration I can start and stop the printer without any problem. This is 1st part in the video. 2nd one: I created a simulated printer with selecting a motors serial port and in this configuration I can't start the printer. The only way to get out of this situation, I have to stop the host and restart it again. This is second part in the video. You have been telling me about a diagnostic log, where can I find it?

The 'download' diagnostic button is on almost every screen in Photonic3d including the screen shot that you already uploaded. Just click it, and upload the file after you've attempted to start the printer.

Here is the desired information

Most likely the com port settings for your printer are wrong because your printer won't respond to gcode. It actually is starting your printer after the two minute timeout though. If you know your settings are correct, and want to decrease that time, you can change it in the:

Advanced Properties: Printer response timeout (ms)

Here we send the gcode:

Here you tried starting another printer while the first printer was trying to start...

Here is where it finally timed out after two minutes

This timeout is fairly adequately explained in the above logs. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
