File won't run - I'm stumped

LarryC · January 25, 2025, 10:58pm

I’m having trouble figuring out why my gcode file won’t run. Still learning the machine, but I’ve reformatted my SD card, restarted FluidNC (several times) and reloaded a file that does work and the new file and regardless of what I do, the old file works fine but the new one does nothing.

The only thing I’ve done new this time is set X0 to a mid point on the machine, then G92 the axes. I don’t think that has anything to do with it because the older file works fine from that location.

Both files were created in EstlCAM, though one was on 12.114 and the new one on 12.119. The gcode from each file to the first move line are below. I don’t see anything that would mess up the file.

Does anyone have experience with this type of failure?

The only thing I am seeing different is your new file has X moving to -74.*** But I am not sure if that matters to FluidNC or not. Someone smarter than me will come by soon and see whatever it is I’m sure

jeyeager · January 25, 2025, 11:41pm

Do you have soft or hard limits set?

Does it throw an alarm?

LarryC · January 25, 2025, 11:55pm

You might be right. My assumption was that I could set X0 to any point in its travels so I could cut to the left or right of X0. I did this for reasons of symmetry of the guitar body blank so I could flip it after the first set of cuts on one side and line it up with L/R and Bottom alignment line on my spoilboard. I went through great effort to line up the zero point in EstlCAM on the object’s centerline the exact same distance from the object on both the front EstlCAM body file and the back body file. I guess I over estimated what EstlCAM and the CNC can do.

jeyeager · January 26, 2025, 12:06am

You can definitely move negative with FluidNC. That’s not the issue.

Britt · January 26, 2025, 12:08am

In your config.yaml, do you have soft limits set to false?

LarryC · January 26, 2025, 12:14am

Yes. /axes/x/soft_limits is set to FALSE. Same for the Y: soft_limits=FALSE. Is that what they should be or should I set them to TRUE?

Jonathjon · January 26, 2025, 12:23am

I thought so but I wasn’t 100% sure and that was the only thing I saw different in his gcode. Thanks for clearing that up!

Britt · January 26, 2025, 12:37am

False is what mine is set to.
I know Fluidnc can move in the negative direction because I often set the origin in Lightburn to be the center.

LarryC · January 26, 2025, 12:57am

Well, for fun I re-set the zero point in EstlCAM to the lower left, like all of my previous projects, so there are no negative X-axes movement commands in the fist line of the gcode (I realize this has already been discounted but I wanted to try anyway in case there is another config setting that might act up in this case). No difference. It still won’t run, yet the older file still works.

LarryC · January 26, 2025, 1:09am

I tired a gcode file I made at the end of December from the same Estlcam project file with just a few tool path changes and a slightly shifted Zero point. It ran fine:

Any other ideas on what might be going wrong would be appreciated.

Jonathjon · January 26, 2025, 1:11am

Can you attach the entire gcode file to the forum please?

LarryC · January 26, 2025, 1:20am

There’s three files, but none of them work. Here’s one of the three:

That gcode looks ok assuming you are zeroing the machine manually and not in gcode. The feedrate in the G0 commands is ignored but that shouldn’t cause an issue.

What version of FluidNC are you using?

How are you running the files? From the WebUI or something else?

What are you doing before you run the files? Are you homing first? Then jogging to the start position? You mentioning using G92. What exactly are you doing?

What do you mean by them not working? What is the status? Is there an alarm? What output is in the terminal?

After you first turn it on, what is the output of $SS?

Jason,

I run FluidNC off my iPhone 15

Per $SS, FluidNC is v3.9.1 and it is compiled by “…SDK: V4.4.7-dirty”

After turning on the Jackpot board, I home X, Y, and Z throuhg the phone FluidNC app. The most recent set of files with the EstlCAM Zero point set to the left/bottom, I don’t move X or Y. In the case of the first failed file, I move X to about 200mm on my spoilboard. In both cases, I then manually lower Z to where I want it to home - just above my work piece. I then run the following code from my iPhone:

G21
G90
G94
G92 X0 Y0 Z0

Then I identify the file I want to run on my SD card in the Jackpot within FluidNC and press start.

I’ve been doing this for each of the 6 or so projects I’ve made successfully and it works today for older files that worked a month ago. I know I probably don’t have to run the above code since the same code is in the gcode, but I’ve been doing so with no problem for the couple of months I’ve been learning the machine.

None of the currently created files referenced earlier run, but month old files do run. When something fails, I restart the Jackpot and start over so that each print gets the same routine. However, I have tried to run one of hte old files after “starting” a new file, and the old file works perfectly.

When I try to run one of the new files (e.g. the one I posted above), there is nothing in the dialog box. “Won’t run” means nothing at all happens on the machine or in the dialogue box.

LarryC · January 26, 2025, 2:27am

I solved the problem. FluidNC does not recognize “-” in file names. I tried renaming one of the failing files to simply “test.gcode” and it ran fine.

I’m sure that little caveat on file names is posted somewhere but I’ve never seen it, but now I know.

Thanks for everyone’s time and energy trying to help solve this.

Interesting. I can run a file with a dash in the filename without an issue, but it does make sense that the filename could be an issue. Since it’s not giving any error, I suspect that it’s the WebUI that has the problem, not FluidNC itself. I have some vague memory about a WebUI encoding issue which would have made characters like spaces an issue, but that was resolved. I can use dashes and spaces in filenames without issue, but that’s on the latest WebUI v2 or v3 using Chrome on Windows or my Android phone.

LarryC · January 26, 2025, 3:05am

To be fair, I don’t yet know if it was the dashes, spaces, file name length or some combination. I did have a long file name with 2 dashes and at least 6 spaces. I plan to test naming limits tomorrow. I use descriptive file names so I need to know the limits of the WebUI or FluidNC.

Shorten your filename.
