Error when trying to upload any ".g" / ".gco" file

[DenisG1994]

Describe the bug Anytime I try to upload a file (g;G;gco;GCO;gcode;GCODE) via the "SD files" panel I get the error attached (Error 0 : )

To Reproduce I tried several times both reflashing my esp8266 (Wemos D1 mini board) and reformatting the SD card of the printer (Anycubic I3 mega) but with any success. I'm using those versions for the board UI: 2.1b20 / FW: 2.1.0.b39 and the 2.5.2 for the Arduino boards. The esp can connect correctly to the printer, it can check and change the axis position and the temperatures. If I put manually a ".gco" file from a pc to the SD card it even see it and also print it.

Expected behavior Expect to upload a ".gco" file

Screenshots

ESP3D Firmware: (please complete the following information)

• Version:2.1.0.b39

• Wifi mode:tried both AP and CS (now in CS)
• No changes in FW

Target Firmware: (please complete the following information)

• Name: Marlin
• Version Stock 1.1.0 (hope I don't need to update cause of power loss recovery)

Board used (please complete the following information):

Additional context

[luc-github]

it means board reset due to power supply stability : https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/issues/417

[DenisG1994]

I've read the other issue and tried those methods: -Powering the board via the usb cable from my pc while connected to the printer (GND in common), -Powering the board via a 12V -> 5V 1A voltage regulator connected directly to the PSU, -Powering the board via a "desk voltage generator" both with 3.3V and 5V (dedicated pin on the board) the board never draw more than 0.09A, -Powering the board via a "desk voltage generator" both with 3.3V and 5V (dedicated pin on the board) with a 470μF. None of the previous test solved the problem... Don't know if it make any difference but I'm using a logic LevelConverter to allow communication between the printer and the ESP8266. Uploading the test.gco present in the other issue fail as always... Thank you for your assistance and your quick reply.

[luc-github]

I do not use logic LevelConverter so I cannot say if it is just for test you can try without I know ESP8266 is very sentive for this

[DenisG1994]

I will post all what I've done to install ESP3D, could you please tell me if there is something wrong? First I have verified the correct flash size using the Example file provided, after that I've flashed the "esp3d.ino" file onto the ESP with the setting in the attachment (without making any change to the config.h or any other tab).

After a reset I have uploaded the 3 files present in the folder "data" inside "esp3d" to the ESP web page and have configured my printer and connection settings. In the dashboard I can do all I want except to upload files to the SD card I've found that I can upload files to the filesystem folder without any problem like in the picture.

Here are two photos of my wiring setup: I've also tried another ESP board to make sure it's not defective. Let me know if there is any other kind of test that I can do to make it work for transferring files via WI-FI. Thank you.

[luc-github]

installation is correct and as said looks like power supply problem due to heavy need for upload

try this file in comment https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/issues/417#issuecomment-591975609 it is small and should work, let me know the result

[DenisG1994]

Tried and retried to upload any kind of file of any dimension... Here are the screenshots. Check that the trigorilla and the ESP communicate properly:

I can see files putted on the SD from my PC:

Choosing the file to upload:

The loading bar jump to 100% and then give the same error as always:

The SD panel look like that after that:

[luc-github]

did you renamed the test.gco.txt to test.cgo ? I see you try test but you already have a directory test so it won't work but ui says test.gco just to be clear

[luc-github]

can you do also a M115 and share the output ?

[DenisG1994]

Yes I renamed it, for safety I added the ".gco" also to the name of the file... Video.mov.zip Sorry for the video quality but I had to do it to reduce size. Here is the output of the M115 command: M115 FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin 1.1.0-RC8 (Github) SOURCE_CODE_URL:https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:3D Printer EXTRUDER_COUNT:1 UUID:cede2a2f-41a2-4748-9b12-c55c62f367ff

[luc-github]

also have a test of this : in terminal command type M110 N0 expected answer is ok type N1 M28 /mycode2.gco*121 expected answer is

echo:Now fresh file: /mycode2.gco
Writing to file: mycode2.gco

type N2 M117 Hi man*101 expected answer is ok

type N3 G1 X20 F1000*54 expected answer is ok

type N4 M29*28 expected answer is

Done saving file.
ok

let me know what you get

[DenisG1994]

Here are the results:

I now have a file on the SD card named MYCODE2.GCO

[luc-github]

so upload process is working

[luc-github]

do a file named mygcode3.gco with same content and upload it

M117 Hi man
G1 X20 F1000

[DenisG1994]

I got this error:

Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: 3
Resend: 4

Tried also with N4 and got this:

Error:checksum mismatch, Last Line: 3
Resend: 4

Added later: Also after a print reboot I got this:

M110 N0
N1 M28 /mycode3.gco*121
Error:checksum mismatch, Last Line: 0
Resend: 1

[luc-github]

ho sorry keep same name wait, can you share the content of the file you upload ?

[DenisG1994]

the one from my pc or the one generated from the web page? Here are both the one I'm trying to upload and the other one generated via the ESP. test.gco.txt

MYCODE2.GCO.txt

[luc-github]

hmm on my side I get N1 M28 /mycode3.gco*120 but you have N1 M28 /mycode3.gco*121 that is weird, so yes your checksum is incorrect

[DenisG1994]

Sorry, it was my fault, I was copy/pasting like before... With that it worked:

M110 N0
N1 M28 /mycode3.gco*120
echo:Now fresh file: /mycode3.gco
Writing to file: /mycode3.gco
N2 M117 Hi man*101

Via the ESP serial monitor I get this when uploading from the WEB UI:

[luc-github]

looks like it cannot create file

[luc-github]

can you do an M21 and M20 before upload

[DenisG1994]

Sure, here is the log from the Arduino serial:

By the way, same error on the web UI

Added later: I tried uploading the "test" file from Simplify3D to the SD card connected in the printer and it worked... Here is the printout:

[luc-github]

I am working on some output improvement when upload happen to follow the process and see what is wrong more easily

[DenisG1994]

Ok, update me when it release so we can find a solution :)

[luc-github]

@DenisG1994 you can give a try to https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/tree/2.1-devt also use the index.html.gz present in data directory it is the latest one so we should be sync I was able to upload all files 1KB, 300KB and even 3MB (which took a while....) without issue you can see the process in webUI terminal or in devt tool of your browser

I reviewed your picture - be sure your RX/TX wire are protected from EMI noise as I see lot of wires close to each others

[DenisG1994]

Do you mean the 2.1.1 version? Cause I yet have installed the 2.1

[luc-github]

yes

[DenisG1994]

So... I've tried both the 2.1.1 and the 2.1-devt With the 2.1.1 the error given is the same as the 2.1

With the 2.1-devt I got this one instead:

And the terminal fill itself with those lines:

M20

obviously there is noise on your wires , your communications has garbage try to secure your rx/tx wires may be your logic converter bring this noise

[DenisG1994]

I've tried to change wires (shorter/thicker...) no results... I've connected an oscilloscope to check any data loss during TX or RX but still nothing... I was wondering if the fact that my printer uses a baud of 250000 could influence all the TX/RX thing... cause in the Arduino IDE I can't choose 250000 for my ESP chip...

[luc-github]

i am using 115200 you may also check the sd card

[luc-github]

@DenisG1994 my mistake :sweat: the garbage seems coming from a typo in my debug output (fixed now in 2.1-devt) I am working on additionnal debug output to add the debug messages now on top of just echo input/output

[DenisG1994]

Ok, was wondering in fact why the garbage thing was always the same and never different from previous test... do you want me to test the current 2.1-devt?

I've done it here is the result:

N1 M29*25
ok
M21
echo:SD card ok
ok
M110 N0
ok
M117 Uploading...
ok
N1 M28 /test.gco*68

ok
N2 M29*26

M117 SD upload failed
ok

I was thinking... Could it be that the printer "count" M117 Uploading... as N1 and then when it receive the N1 it expect to be the N2 end give the error shown?

[luc-github]

yes looks like M110 N0 is not take in account to reset the line numbering but should work if you restart printer as no previous commands

[DenisG1994]

I've tried this after a reboot... Like you said M110 N0 it's "ignored"

[luc-github]

can you give me the M115 output ?

[DenisG1994]

Here it is:

ok

By the way, every command I send is sent twice.

[luc-github]

yes the current FW echo all commands in webUI according to source code M110 N0 should work so I am not sure what would be the problem

I have just updated 2.1-devt - please give a try - debug is enabled and verbose (very)

[luc-github]

I think I found the bug ... in Marlin 1.1.0-RC8 it has beed fixed later the M110 N0 do not change the last number used just the current

/**
 * M110: Set Current Line Number
 */
inline void gcode_M110() {
  if (code_seen('N')) gcode_N = code_value_long();
}

in latest git 1.1-X

/**
 * M110: Set Current Line Number
 */
inline void gcode_M110() {
  if (parser.seenval('N')) gcode_LastN = parser.value_long();
}

do you have the source of your current FW ? - you mentioned you do not want to update it

[DenisG1994]

Anycubic share only the .hex file available from their website here https://www.anycubic.com/blogs/news/all-you-need-to-know-about-i3-mega-m-s The file is i3 Mega Firmware V1.1.5 yesterday I uploaded it to the printer but via M115 it seem to non have changed...

[luc-github]

well if M110 is not working the only hope is upload may not need check sum

[DenisG1994]

Is there a way to disable it?

Otherwise I can try this custom firmware https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3249319/files If there is nothing else to do and it work properly I will put an UPS to prevent power los...

there is no way currently to disable the check sum I need some time to see what to do but at least it can be done

[luc-github]

@DenisG1994 please try latest 2.1-devt actually I have already prepared the possibility and it was just missing a flag to disable it

[DenisG1994]

It was in fact the stock firmware... With the "custom" one it work:
