Board won't execute GCode

[rickkaye]

Up until today, I had not used JSON to issue commands to my tinyG. I wanted to try it so, using Coolterm from a Mac, I issued some commands to change/read parameter values which worked. I did not enable JSON mode. I had read on the Wiki that if a command line starts with a “{“, the tinyG will interpret it as JSON and this worked.

I then tried issuing GCode commands to move the motors in text mode but nothing happened. The tinyG accepted the command and returned with a prompt but the motor didn’t move. I did not get the normal progress report of motor position and when I ask the tinyG for the motor position it says it hasn’t moved.

Next I tried issuing GCode commands in JSON format. Again no movement from the motors. The tinyG reports back a status code of 0 indicating no error, but nothing moves.

I’ve tried rebooting everything and the problem persists. I can change/read parameters in both JSON and text. But GCode commands don’t work.

Here is a terminal session illustrating the problem.

In case it’s related here’s a previous thread regarding a problem I had with my board: https://www.synthetos.com/topics/tinyg-stopped-responding/

Should I reflash my board again? Any other suggestions?

[alden]

Not sure what’s going on here. Your command response (“r”) returns with status code 0 (OK). The status report (?) indicates that machine is still running, which is weird. WHat settings did you change? Can you please post a complete $$ dump?

Thanks

–Alden

[rickkaye]

I can’t remember what setting I changed but I do remember that I immediately changed it back to its previous value since I was only testing. Below is the $$ dump. Thanks for your help.

I think your problem is that X velocity maximum is set to 0.

[xvm] x velocity maximum 0.000 mm/min

[rickkaye]

I have no idea how that happened but changing it doesn’t fix the problem. I guess I hadn’t mentioned it above but the Y and Z motors don’t move either.

First, try typing in the following:
$xvm=3000

If that doesn’t work try running the following command:
$defa=1

This will reset the settings to defaults

[rickkaye]

As you can see below, still nothing moves. I had already changed $xvm but I retyped it as you instructed. Neither the X or Y motor responded. I reset the defaults. The motor didn’t respond when I did a “g0x30”. The command didn’t show up on the terminal. I remembered that I needed to set $ee=1 which I did and then did a “g0x30” again so you could see what I typed.

Transcript below. Thanks.

[alden]

I’m not sure what’s going on, but here are a few things to try.

– Once you set $defa=1 do a $$ and see if the $xvm, $xfr and similar for Y and Z are non-zero and reasonable.

– Turn off all your limit switches – set them to zero. Also, set the switch type to Normally Open (you have it at normally closed). If you have NC switches enabled and limit switches enabled the machine might always think it hit a limit and not move.

– Try moving a short G1. Like G1 f100 x5

– Set power management on the motors to 0. This is more normal for a belt machine (do you have a belt machine?).

– Disable the A axis (axis mode = 0). Just to take Radius mode out of the equation.

[rickkaye]

I tried everything you suggested but nothing helped. I did notice that I am getting some spontaneous output from the tinyG. For example, at the first prompt below, I typed g0x30 which is echoed on the next line, at the second prompt, I did not type anything but the next line (momo:0) appeared.

tinyg [mm] ok>
g0x30
tinyg [mm] ok>
momo:0

The same thing happened (see below) when I tried the g1 f100 x5 command that you suggested. But this time it spontaneously printed momo:1.

tinyg [mm] ok>
g1 f100 x5
tinyg [mm] ok>
momo:1

I don’t know if any of this is related but I don’t remember seeing spontaneously lines from the tinyG before.

Thanks again.

[alden]

Can you please run the $defa=1 command again then capture the $$ output? I would like to see if the board resets to a known state.

Thanks

Alden

[rickkaye]

Strange! I had powered the board off before and I had done a $defa=1 before but not sequentially. This time I powered it off and then on, then did the $defa=1 as the first command and then captured the output to send to you. Before sending I tried a g0x30 command and it worked.

I will look into it tonight (Pacific time) to see if I can figure out what’s different.

In the meantime, for the record, the captured output is below. Thanks for your help.

I restored every parameter in the $$ listing to their values while the problem was present (except $xvm which I set to 3000). Everything worked fine.

Then I issued commands including gcode commands using JSON. Everything worked fine.

Then I remembered that you had noticed that $xvm was set to 0. I set it to 0 and tried moving the X motor. Of course nothing happened. I tried moving the Y motor, nothing happened. I was able to read and change parameters but no gcode commands worked. The problem was back. I changed $xvm back to 3000. Gcode still didn’t work.

I rebooted the tinyG a few times trying several things. It turns out that the only way I could get it to work was to reboot and then set $xvm to a positive value as the first thing I did after a reboot. This is what I effectively did yesterday when you had me do a $defa=1 and I did it immediately after a reboot.

I still don’t know how $xvm got set to 0 in the first place. But everything is working now and I know how to cure the problem if it recurs.

Thanks again.

Thanks. I think you found a condition we should try to trap. Sorry you had a problem, but glad it’s working now.
