was working fine yesterday
turned on today got these errors
I’m not sure what that means. If those drivers worked in a different slot, the drivers are ok.
yip got me stumped , so why do they not detect in other slots
i left if for an hour went back turned it back on than 4 drivers not working ??
restarted a few more times over period of 30 mins
each time it varied as to how many drivers weren’t detecting
anywhere for 1 -4 each time
X is the only driver that never faulted
is there a way to resolve why its not reading, is it main board ??
need it sorted asap , got a job to do for a customer next week
That is surprising. I would expect it to be consistent.
me to , so its got be something else causing them not to detect , but where to start,
spent couple hrs searching trying find info on prob shooting this error, without much luck
I’m really not sure. The only time I have seen those errors is when running FluidNC on the ESP32 not plugged into the Jackpot. It can also happen if you have a USB cable connected and that powers the ESP32 before providing power to the Jackpot. But then, it’s all the drivers failing. I believe that the drivers initialize fine even if steppers aren’t connected.
I can throw things out there but it’s pure speculation.
esp32, never been off board , have never had usb cable in esp32 prior to errors.
i did plug in usb couple hrs after and did full reinstall of fluid nc and reinstall config files to see if it may help still same problems. at a loss
Do you have dust collection? If so, is it grounded? That can cause all kinds of obscure issues.
yes have dust collection , vac has grounding cable , but no grounding cable on hose itself,
I don’t have dust collection but my understanding is that when not grounded, that’s a good way to fry electronics.
From the docs:
Vac Hoses need to be grounded at one end. Using a steel ribbed hose makes this very easy to use the ground port from your power source. If you use a non-conductive vac hose you can run a bare wire through the hose secure at one end and ground at the other. If you do not ground your hose static will build up and can damage your control board or other components.
ive got steel ribbed vac hose does it need to be in side hose, ive got 2 x 5m hoses joined with a joiner and hose clamps , if i connected wire to clamp than to ground would that still achieve same
I’m not an expert on grounding so I’ll leave that question to someone else.
so things just got weirder , just gone out to shed turned it on and now cant even get the fluidnc Wi-Fi to register to bring up webui
unplugged esp from main board and pugged into computer , get windows message device not recognized, wont even show in fluidnc web installer . installed cp210x as read in another, post prior to reboot yesterday , think my esp might be toast
we have had major temp changed in last few days from 20degs c to 0deg over night , everything in shed is now damp and sticky , could major temp changes with moisture also fry components , just throwing everything out there to try eliminate this happening in future with another board
will either of these be fine as replacement esp
Sounds like ideal conditions for condensation, which I’m constantly afraid might kill electronics… how much of a risk it actually is I don’t know. But definitely a possibility
My gut says grounding to the hose clamp won’t work well because the clamp is likely only touching the non conductive part of the hose. Continuity test between the rib and the clamp would be a quick way to tell
That’s a sign your ESP-32 may be toast, just as you suspect.
Do you have another one to test with? Are you CERTAIN that the USB cable you used is a data+power cable? (This bites people all the time.)
At this point, I’d verify you have a data+power USB Cable, if you have another computer try the ESP-32 there, and if none of that works you likely need another ESP-32.
Then we need to get some time with FluidTerm and $SS to see what’s going on with your machine.
pretty sure its got P on the cable , and it connected fine yesterday. ordered 1 of the ones in the post above, probably wont turn up till tue or wed so will wait just have to wait for it, looks pretty close to one on board its 38 pin , so many to chose from , hope its same as existing
You need to run a wire through your Vac hose and ground it if your hose is not continuous. Without out it the build up can get super nasty, enough to where I am still a little nervous to touch my dust bucket because I got a real good zap once.
You want me to wait on shipping the new board? Until you test your new ESP? If all the drivers tested good and all the ports work, even if they are random that seems like a ESP board will fix it.
Hey Ryan
nah get it sent ,
I have a job which is time critical on completion.
just with the random hiccups i’ve had so far,
having a spare board in cupboard, will be peace of mind
yip its toast same message on another computer
