Startup Messages

after loading the program there is no message. the start button just enables
on clicking it does not proceed.

User Interface Software

WebUI - Tablet mode using via WIFI

What happened?

I was trying to make a 3d relief. I ran a 3 hrs rough pass successfully. Now i was trying to run the smooth pass. the g-code file size is 17.2MB and it is created using Easel pro. it took some time to load in WebUI and after that it enabled the start button. on pressing the start button it does not respond. couple of time it restarted as well.

I have a attached the gcode file.

I am using Fluidnc V3.6.6 win64

Since you are using tablet mode, the delay is probably due to the visualizer. To display the visualization, the software on the browser end has to ask the FluidNC controller to send it the GCode file from the SD card. That can take a long time. Then, once it gets the file, it has to process it twice - once to determine the overall size in order to scale the drawing to the viewport, and a second time to render the vectors into the viewport. For large files that can take a long time. The visualizer has never been optimized for very large files. Handling them well would probably require some sort of preview/thumbnail feature. I would like to add such a feature, but it is so far down the list that I might never get to it. I might, however, add an option to disable the visualizer, or automatically disable it for large files. Does your file work from the main UI?

Mamoonpk commented 1 year ago

@MitchBradley Yes I checked and it worked on main UI. I think disabling visualizer in webui will be a great help. It is not needed on all jobs. Overall I rate webui better than main UI.

Secondly I recently updated to 3.6.6. I noticed that if my tablet sleeps, my machine stops as well which was not the case earlier. Is it a feature added recently.

sleep causes stop working reported here https://github.com/bdring/FluidNC/issues/782 your browser is open during sleep but your wifi may turn off and machine can not continue to work. (to use this version until new release , close browser before tablet sleep, nothing happen to working machine )

disable virtualizer helps a lot for big size.
