ValueError: setup: Invalid response from plotter sending to Shilouette Curio #36

Open joaquinllano opened 7 years ago

joaquinllano commented 7 years ago

I have a Shilouette Curio and I'm testing Inkscape-Shilouette extension but it raises an error saying ValueError: setup: Invalid response from plotter.

I'm using Debian Strecth amd64. Inkscape 0.91 r13725

Thanks for the report! What other software do you use with the Silhouette Curio? Can you save an output file from that? Maybe there is a save to sdcard option or something?

EtherGraf commented 7 years ago

Maybe you should try the regmark branch. There was done some small changes in the response handling. No idea if it does help in your case, but would be worth a try.

@EtherGraf oh that reminds me: there are open pull requests collecting dust. I lost track what the thing with the interface change was. I have no design preference there. I am tempted to merge yours, and then review the conflicts of the others.

joaquinllano commented 7 years ago

Hi.

I'm using Shilouette Studio.

I attach a .studio file that is the native format and a gsp file that is the same exported to SDcard format.

Best regards.

Good news, I just tried silhouette_move.py and it works.

It moves the base mm indicates on command line arguments and returns to origin.

@EtherGraf I'm downloading some packages to test regmarks. I will post when I test it.

EtherGraf commented 6 years ago

Have you finally been sucessfull using this extension with the curio device?

eethann commented 4 years ago

Also interested in the status of implementing this for our local makerspace. Very excited to have an open source option for driving Silhouette machines!

wvengen commented 2 years ago

I've been using a Silhouette Curio for several months with some local changes. Didn't try registration marks though.

@wvengen feel free to add a PR

wvengen commented 2 years ago

I'll prepare to do so @t0b3, thanks. Will need to do some more testing after bringing it up-to-date with current master.

Hi @wvengen, I'll be picking up a used Silhouette Curio from someone in a couple hours and would like to use this inkscape-silhouette plugin with it. Is there anything I can do to help you prepare to open that PR?

I have no experience with Silhouette products yet (Curio or other), but I do have experience with a Brother DesignNCut DC200 (discontinued), Inkscape, and Python programming. And my computer runs Windows 10.

When opening the PR, you can prefix its name with "DRAFT:" to indicate its draft-ness (e.g. "DRAFT: Add support for Silhouette Curio"). GitHub does have a "Draft PR" feature, but it's only available on repositories owned by certain types of accounts.

I was able to manually merge the changes from @wvengen's fork into the latest version of inkscape-silhouette and "print" some lines using my new Silhouette Curio.

By "manually merge," I mean I installed inkscape-silhouette as an Inkscape extension, then used a text editor to (effectively) make the same changes to it as were made in @wvengen's fork.

@wvengen, in case you are OK with me opening a PR here containing the changes, I am willing to do so. My only concern is that, if I am the person that creates the PR, some people may credit me for the work of getting this extension working with Curio, when it was really you who did the underlying work. Effectively all I did was copy the changes into a newer version of the original repo. I haven't even tested it beyond what is shown in this photo.

I also confirm Curio works with this implementation :tada: Tested https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-silhouette/compare/main...wvengen:inkscape-silhouette:feature/silhouette-curio-rebased which is already mostly rebased. So thank you @wvengen! I'd encourage you to submit a PR when you have time, here's my tested rebase in case it helps.

Also I've made Inkscape templates for Curio's cutting mats https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-silhouette/pull/222 to facilitate use :) Happy holidays to all! :christmas_tree:
