Ok, guys, for the second time today, my lowrider is giving me issues. Evey time I try to connect while its in the middle of a job (Abeit while it is paused and waiting for a tool change), I get an error when it connects to the esp3d, not the wifi. The error is Connection failed is your FW correct.
I’m assuming you have a Jackpot? What version of FluidNC?
Do you have a screenshot?
By default, FluidNC will block http requests while a job is running. I’m suspecting that is what is happening here.
How would I change the HTTP request setting?
The setting is $HTTP/BlockDuringMotion. I can provide some details in a bit.
Thanks! I will try to find that setting
Thanks for the help, that solved the problem, but now the resume button is gone. Do you know the gcode command for that?
It’s the cycle start/resume command which is ~

To add a bit of detail for the block during motion command:
By default the FluidNC webserver will refuse to fetch any files from the Flash filesystem (including reloading WebUI) unless your machine is idle. This prevents FS access from hogging FLASH bandwidth when the CPU might need to load more code to memory.
This safety measure is controlled by the$HTTP/BlockDuringMotionsetting (since v3.6.8).
That’s from the wiki here:
While I have that set to false to disable it as well, and haven’t had any issues, just realize that it’s there to prevent performance issues. Basically, when the machine is actively doing something, it doesn’t want to pull files, such as for the WebUI, from flash memory. It is setup to allow the browser to cache the page so it isn’t pulled down unnecessarily.
