Problems with FluidNC / esp32 #148

Closed irotier closed 2 years ago

irotier commented 2 years ago

I'm using an esp32 controlled Plasma-CNC with FluidNC. I can connect to it and the consol / manual commands seems to work but all the Buttons keep beeing grey and can't be used?! Befor i had grbl_esp32 set up and everything worked fine Do you have any suggestions what the problem could be? Because i really love the possibility to control everything from my phone and it worked like a charm...

App works only with grbl 1.1 firmware

There is still something you can try

If you are able to customize the FluidNC firmware all you need to do is change the startup string to Grbl 1.1f ['$' for help] That might work

It took some time to understand how to compile the firmware (my first time with visual studio), but your workaround did the trick - so thanks a lot! But would it be possible, to get a version of your app, wich is not checking the grbl-version? The Firmware is still under construction and i have some doubt to make mistakes while selfcompiling it every time... For sure i would buy the full version.

I have the option of supporting grbl compatible firmwares in my to do list.
