Creality3D v1.1.3 connection available, but cannot print loaded files [BUG]

[octavius08]

Describe the bug

Servus, I have an ESP32 dev with SPI bound SD card. After flashing and setting up ESP3D, the files can be uploaded, but after pressing the Play icon, the printer do nothing,

Printer: Creality3D v1.1.3 ATMEGA1284P 8bit Merlin bugfix-2.0.x 2019-07-05 Bilinear Leveling Extruder: 1 MightyCore/ATmega1284 setup: Sanguino BOARD_MELZI_CREALITY

To Reproduce

1. Go to ESP Dashboard / Files
2. Click on "Play" on file exp. AA.GCO (see the first screenshot)
3. The printer do nothing
4. No error, just in Terminal :

M23 /AA.GCO M24 ok ok ok T:18.91 /0.00 B:18.87 /0.00 @:0 B@:0

Expected behavior

the printer should move an start to print :)

Board used (please complete the following information):

• ESP32 dev
• NodeMCU
• Flash size: 4M

Additional context Also no data is displayed under UI/Settings/Merlin see picture above (second one). The communication via TX/RX works: temperature, movement, fan can be controlled, it just doesn't print. i can still print from Octoprint and directly from the SD card on the printer. I've been working on this for 7 days now and I'm not making any progress.

Thank your for submiting, please be sure you followed template or your issue may be dismissed. if you deleted the template it is here

What means ESP32 dev with SPI bound SD card? I see you looks direct access SD card, which mean ESP board use it exclusively These output means your SD card is not mounted on Marlin and content is not accessible from Printer you can check doing :

M20

I am not sure how you wired your ESP / SDCard to printer but it is not correct, sharing SD card is not just connecting both devices to SD, there will have conflicts

[octavius08]

Many thanks for your response, I connected the SD card like this: I can list and upload files via ESP3D UI to the SD card. I also tried version 2.1.2, one of the SD cards is recognized, which I don't know, there are 2, one Onboard Ender3 and second on the ESP32, unfortunately the upload to SD doesn't work even with correct names and formatting exp. AA.GCO However, Merlin data is displayed, control and monitoring of the printer works, similar to version 3.0.0 of ESP3D

This is the answer for M20

[octavius08]

Other attempt, I inserted the SD card with some files in to the slot on Ender3 board , the files were displayed as Extra SD and can be printed :) unfortunately uploading via WIFI is not possible, only refresh icon is displayed, what could be the cause?

I have read that Merlin firmware has removed the write function on the card due to low memory in Ender3 V1, could that be the cause.

I thought if an SD card is attached to the ESP32, the data can be passed on to the printer via RX/TX, as with Octoprint via USB and own SD card. The advantage of the SD card connected to the ESP32 via SPI is also the upload speed, so I chose this connection beforehand. Is there another solution (software or hardware) to write/upload and print files from SD card via ESP3D with Ender3 v1?

[luc-github]

the streaming from SD with esp3D is not yet available, it is planned but far being ready.

[octavius08]

The streaming function from ESP32 board with an SD card would solve many upload and speed problems. I recently bought a cheap CNC (GRBL Controler) milling machine, there is via cable an external control interface with an ESP32 and a card slot installed, the file upload seems to work. Unfortunately the firmware is closed and not on github.

So we are eagerly awaiting the update, best regards.

[luc-github]

for grbl the basic stream seems ok, it do same as the device you showed The FW of your device is this one I think https://github.com/positron96/cnc3018-offline-controller

[octavius08]

Yes, that seems to be similar firmware, my hardware ist newer with a colored TFT display and micro-SD cards, but I also noticed that the CNC milling machine pauses during millinge with larger files to process the data, something like this might be acceptable with a CNC, but not with a 3D printer :)

[luc-github]

Yes as I wrote for grbl the basic stream is ok because it is simple ping pong command/ack For 3D printer it is more complex : https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/issues/243 That is why it is not yet implemented in esp3d - I need time to work on it

You can try this module. I have successfully tested. And the transmission speed is faster, about 500K/s

Try "M23 /aa.gco" lowercase. This helped me! In the future, I replaced the lines in the web interface. By adding the line "a=a.toLowerCase();" a=a.toLowerCase(); var i = { name: a, size: s, isdir: l, datetime: "", isprintable: files_showprintbutton(a, l) };

[hazy1710]

But I have another problem. When uploading files, the message "Reset Numbering failed" appears.

[luc-github]

Try "M23 /aa.gco" lowercase.

the lower case issue is Marlin issue - it should be fixed in Marlin or original repository you get the FW If M20 list AA.GCO, M23 command should handle same name M23 AA.GCO not another one like until now

"Reset Numbering failed"

Means the M110 N0 command failed (https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M110.html)

[luc-github]

The lower case issue looks similar to this old one: https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/issues/273

[hazy1710]

It looks like it's worth updating the firmware in the printer. Thanks.

[luc-github]

I think issue can be closed then
