SD Card failure to read files? #187

Open seemecnc opened 10 years ago

seemecnc commented 10 years ago

Hey Roland et all, was wondering if anyone else is having this issue? Having a problem with SD cards failing to 'print' the files? Sometimes when selecting a file to print, it simply returns to the SD Card Inserted screen, and never prints? If i take the card, delete a file or two, sometimes add a folder and copy the gcode in the folder, it works? Happens mostly on mac OS writing files, metadata issues, but happens sporadically on windows too?

That is an odd error I heard from. I even tested with a sd card on my printer, where it happened on an other printer and it worked on mine. It might be o problem with with long names or hidden files, which mac always puts on the card. I don't want to see this garbage so I set

define SD_ALLOW_LONG_NAMES false

which hides these files. Also I can't see why this should influence the readability of normal files, could you test if it works with this setting?

From what I hear the first file in a folder always works. But that should not not be the solution and it works for all files for me.

I hope we are talking about the development version, which has many delta improvements over the 0.83? Also make sure to use the latest version. I solved some nasty delta bugs there and improved menu structure.

I've noticed the same issue some days ago. I'm using Win8.1 (so no hidden MAC files) and only 3 character filenames.In my case the issue seems to apply on subdirectorys with mor than 3 files in it.The 4th file wouldn't print till I remove one file from the dir.. I'll make some tests to see if it also applys to the root directory.

Roland and I have fixed these issues and the next release will support long filenames!!! Yeah!!

jamesarm97 commented 10 years ago

@glennkreisel, are these fixed files anywhere to download? I had downloaded the dev branch and mixed in some files I found somewhere with the long file name support and have this same problem of not being able to print (just goes to main menu).

Roland will be posting them in the next week or so. With a ton of other improvements/fixes. It would be hard to pull out just those changes at this point.  All merged together.

If we use the git system as it was ment to and do nice clean commits it is much easier to cherry-pick the changes we want. Den 4. des. 2013 16:43 skrev "glennkreisel" notifications@github.com følgende:

exactly. Why can’t we see what was changed now and merge the stuff ourself? I am in the middle of running old stuff and the dev stuff and just need the sd stuff working. I have been waiting for long file name support ever since seeing it on the makerbot and switching to repetier.

Simply because it is not finished/working 100% and many users use the development version already. If I publish it now I get many questions about it not working correct. I will update as soon as that version works correctly.

Roland,

Thanks again for once again having the best firmware out there. It was on .83, as it's the stable release we are shipping with our Orion Deltas, but I will be working on the new 090 soon for all our machines.

Thanks again

glennkreisel commented 10 years ago

I will be finishing up thumbdrive support for repetier this week. I've been using a v2dip1 thumbdrive component ( $23 ) on your rostock max! I'm hoping you will add that hardware to your printers when the code is available. SD cards are hard to use these days.
