Mac SPJS instability: Please help

Hello folks,
I’m new to this so bare with me, but I’m not all thumbs when it comes to computers having been a network administrator years ago. I’m having JSON disconnect issues as well, but am able to connect to the Arduino Uno and all looks good, then the JSON server appears to close down… Let me give some hardware details to set the stage:
Macbook Pro (early 2011 w/16GB RAM), SSD, connected to clone Arduino Uno R3 which has been flashed with latest GRBL hex. I’m in the process of building my own CNC router for the first time and while I’m waiting for parts, I thought I would get the brain part setup.
Software: Sierra 10.12.4 (latest)
Installed: XCode, Python, Arduino software, Fusion 360, etc. I also did the Homebrew install of all the goodies that come to support bCNC.Using SPJS v1.80, seems to be the latest mac version?
As a side note, bCNC, which run under Python, is up and running and stable with my GRBL flashed Arduino Uno, so it seems that it’s not a hardware issue.
Here are some observations, which may shed some light:

I cannot launch SPJS from a terminal prompt (how do I upload images in here?)
The Arduino is connected directly to my usb port on the laptop. Nothing is attached to it (one step at a time)
Chrom will not display webGL (maybe latest update), Safari does. This disconnect happens in either browser in the same manner.
When connected, I can issue $$ gcode and the Arduino spits out the appropriate reply string.
When the SPJS dumps, this is what it says in Chilipepper GRBL window "serial port ajax connection closed. Ready state 3.
I can then re-run the serial-port-json-server file, which launches a new terminal window and executes a bunch of commands. Then I can reconnect to my Arduino in Chilipepper, but it disconnects again promptly. Usually within 30 seconds.
Thoughts? I appreciate any help I can get. And John thank you so much for creating this software and I’ve learned so much from your videos.
Cheers,
Tyler

Here is what shows up in terminal window after I connect to Arduino via Chilipepper GRBL, it seems to close itself down:

It may be SPJS version you use see this fit hub thread on issue with Latest OSX and disconnect SPJS https://github.com/chilipeppr/serial-port-json-server/issues/17

Wire_Monkey · April 15, 2017, 5:17pm

Sweet! Don’t know how I missed that. Now am running 1.92 of SPJS and it seems stable, running a job now with no issues so far. Thank you so much for helping out!

jlauer · April 15, 2017, 5:18pm

You said you’re using 1.80 and that is ancient. 1.94 is latest. Check Github releases page. https://github.com/chilipeppr/serial-port-json-server/releases

jlauer · April 15, 2017, 5:19pm

If you’re up for compiling 1.94 on Mac and then sending to me I could include a binary for that as well. Go lang does the most amazing cross-compiling but it’s never able to create a Mac version due to Apple’s closed nature.

Wire_Monkey · April 15, 2017, 5:22pm

Ah yes, I was just told that from another lovely community member. Thanks! The main github page only shows 1.86 with a mac OSX build. Ug, the 1.94 actually says “Sierra.” Seems stable enough now. Of course now I have to learn more about gcode and exporting from Fusion 360 CAM to eliminate errors. So much to know. Thanks again John.

Wire_Monkey · April 15, 2017, 5:25pm

Hi John, I’d love to help out but don’t know how to do what you ask. If you send instructions I can do it or if you want to remote in? I take that you don’t have a mac?

Wire_Monkey · April 15, 2017, 5:29pm

I meant that 1.92 says “Sierra,” but I gather you figured that out.

jlauer · April 15, 2017, 5:31pm

1.92 has a 100% CPU consumption bug on some network setups so it’s a dangerous build.

There’s a video on youtube on how to build Serial Port JSON Server so you could watch that and then build. There’s also directions on Github in the Readme.

On your other question, there’s this video on Fusion 360 and ChiliPeppr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km9ghwo39bM

Wire_Monkey · April 15, 2017, 5:33pm

I’m more of a hardware person, not much programming/compiling experience.

Wire_Monkey · April 15, 2017, 5:36pm

Sweet! I’ll give a whack and let you know how I make out. If’ I’m successful how shall I send the file to you? And thanks for the Fusion 360 CAM vid.

Great, installing Go now… stay tuned.
