I seem to have a small problem when printing from my galaxy s3. After the first couple of layers of the print, it pauses every layer, sometimes multiple times per layer. I see a message on the screen saying: “Timeout waiting for printer response at line #10768(100001ms)”
Does anyone else have this problem? Or a way to fix it?
I’m running the 1.45 beta version if that helps
Garbage collector during print? Is this java app?
its just the normal android app from the play store running on my galaxy s3
@hardik_patel a few people reported this to me already. But until now, I wasn’t able to reproduce it. It sounds like some of the printer responses get lost, which will lead to a timeout. You can reduce the impact by setting a smaller timeout (e.g. 2.5sec). You could also try a slower baud rate and see if this reduces the loss. What printer electronics do you have ?
Do you have the “printing service” option enabled ?
@Mathias_Dietz I’m using Ramps 1.4 with an Arduino Mega 2560 and Marlin firmware.
Using baudrate: 115200
“Printing Service” is enabled
I’ll try setting a smaller timeout and see if that helps.
I did a 3h test run yesterday on my Arduino 2560 but did not see any timeout. it would be good to get some debug data of the hang and the corresponding gcode file. Which revision of Arduino is it ? (I have R3)
@Mathias_Dietz I lowered the baud rate to 19200 and it seems to be doing much better. it still pauses but not nearly as much as it used to with the baudrate at 115200.
Where does the app store the log files? I can send you the log file as well as gcode file.
I did notice that with the much slower baudrate of 19200, the temperatures fluctuate a lot more so a higher baudrate would be preferred.
I’m using an R3 Arduino Mega 2560. And using a Galaxy S3 T999 with stock rom (rooted). I’m going to try loading up a different rom and see if that helps any.
thats good. The App does not write a logfile, yet. Only the console content can be send by email.
I don’t understand why the temperatures fluctuates more, the temperature control is done by the arduino and does not require the host at all.
Let me know if another rom improves the behavior.
Thanks for testing.
@hardik_patel I have just uploaded a new beta version with the option to write a communication log to sd card. Maybe this helps debugging the timeout issue.
@Mathias_Dietz where is the option to write the log to SD card? I don’t see it anywhere
in V1.46 -> Settings -> General -> Communication log file
(3rd option counting from top)
