I ran into some issues with fluidnc. I ordered a jackpot from elecrow and have an espressif wroom 32D. I flashed it to the latest 3.9.x release and installed webui v3. I can sometimes connect no problem but do get this screen:
If I press continue I get to the ui. I can jog my axis but after a little while the controller stops responding and seems to freeze. It also continuously spams a position message as can been seen. These issues happen on mobile and on my laptop
That is expected if it is in a Hold state. This screen will go away in the next release.
This is expected with status polling.
I’m not sure if that command would work while in a hold state.
This is the one that’s throwing me off. Were you running anything? Gcode, macros, manual commands? It should only go into hold if an M0 or feedhold command (!) is executed. If this is happening automatically, it almost sounds like there is a polling command setup running “!” instead of “?”.
I assume you mean 3.7.17. This version doesn’t have that hold screen.

no not running anything, sometimes jogging but nothing else.
Yes sorry, ment 3.7.17. Wanted to see if downgrading it would work. It seemed to work.
However, I have a lot of trouble connecting and if it connects reliability is poor. While jogging it froze a number of times with error 6 and error 8. I have screenshots on my laptop which I can post if needed.
I also saw a warning of low memory come by, it says I have 4mb memory. I am starting to think something is wrong with my esp32. Ordered it from aliexpress, chip says it is espressif wroom 32d.
RAM, you only have like ~500K, and typically run with ~100-ish free, maybe less in the 3.7.x series
I am assuming AP mode by the 192.168.0.0.1… How far from the machine are you? Do you have any wires or anything running over the top of the ESP32 that could be interfering with the signal?
Alarm 8 means the command requires an idle state, so that one is probably not concerning if you were doing something while in motion.
Alarm 6 is “Step pulse too short”, which, if you were getting this with 3.9.1, is more concerning since the stepping engine was rewritten in that release…
Any details you have about what caused it, or if you can find a way to reproduce it, would be a good thing to be able to report if we can.
Yes completely stock, installed using the web installer and then the webui v2 version from Ryan’s GitHub. Did some cutting a few minutes ago. Two jobs without issue, one job froze for ten seconds and then continued. One completely froze and had to be power cycled.
I’m also starting to think my current esp32 is faulty in some way. I don’t have a compatible esp32 laying around. I will order a new one from amazon, do you know a reputable brand/model I could order?
Before you buy another one try 3.9.1, it can help with multiple devices trying to log in at once. The only time I have seen that is when two devices are fighting to refresh.
