Jaime, Looks like they are about to take SSDP out of FluidNC, that is a good thing right??

It’s one of the things we tend to disable anyway.

SSDP and mDNS were the things that were hidden behind the option Jamie added.

I think they were grouped together.

SSDP is a discovery protocol that I don’t think anyone is really using anyway, and mDNS is the thing that lets http://fluidnc.local work instead direct IP.

Removing SSDP means you should be able to use the mDNS now without the SSDP hit you would previously get

I knew we turned it off but I was not sure if there was some people that used it or not.

I love to see all the small optimizations that have been happening with fluid lately. My $ss works perfect in 3.8 every time now. Saves me a ton of time flashing boards.

I don’t know for sure. At the time it seemed that I was running out of memory a lot. Partly because “you’re not supposed to home in a gcode file” :rage:.

I still encounter rough edges on FluidNC. A few days ago I couldn’t home all three axes (on 3.7.16).
Seems pretty basic to me. I upgraded to 3.8 and now I can home all three.

Then yesterday I tried uploading a file while a job was running. I probably should have known better, but the UI didn’t gray it out and it seemed like it should be a low-resource background type task. The web interface became nonresponsive but the machine kept moving (slowly) in a straight line, not following the toolpath! Finally I had to cut power. That produced this:

I want to like FluidNC but it’s just one thing after another, mostly small things, that give it a buggy feeling for all the stuff I’ve tripped over. I think I’m just unlucky.

Any release I mark as good in the docs has been ran on a full job with homing and tool changes. I am not sure if 16 was ever on teh list but I have not had an issue in a long time, it is actually getting more and more smooth for a while.

Uploading while it is working, well, that isn’t going to work. We just got the ability to upload 6mb files over wifi on this release I think. I tried to do that on my klipper printer yesterday and it wouldn’t even work there with all that horsepower.

I have been having a random issue lately where a job finishes and then I can’t move the machine at all. Webui still seems responsive and I can see the jog command come up in the terminal but the machine never moves. Has happened on both of my LR’s. I have to cut power and then once I plug it back in it works just fine till I finish the next job. It’s not every single time but I would say it happens more often than not. Did it on 3.7.18 and 3.8.0. I am running a V1 ESP32 on both machines.
