Hello,
I'm working on my own software to send GCode files to TinyG.
I have the serial In/Out running, but I have some weirds issues.
First of all :
TinyG Firmware version : 0.95
TinyG Firmware build : 380.02
Software developped in Java.
I made a test protocol.
I watch both what my application sends and what TinyG boards sends in 2 separates Arduino Serial monitor. (This helps making sure what's sent is what I'm expecting). I'm using Virtual Serial Port Emulator to split the COM ports, and send them on 2 separate devices.
When sending a file, here is what my application sends (copied from the outgoing Arduino monitor) :
{"gc":"n1g17"}
{"gc":"n2m3s1000"}
{"gc":"n3g0x-84.0y19.0"}
{"gc":"n4g1f300.0z-0.5"}
{"gc":"n5g1f800.0x-38.0"}
{"gc":"n6g1y53.0"}
{"gc":"n7g1x-84.0"}
{"gc":"n8g1y19.0"}
{"gc":"n9g0z3.0"}
{"gc":"n10g0y0.0"}
{"gc":"n11g1f300.0z-0.5"}
{"gc":"n12g1f800.0x0.0"}
{"gc":"n13g1y70.0"}
{"gc":"n14g1x-106.0"}
{"gc":"n15g1y0.0"}
{"gc":"n16g1x-84.0"}
{"gc":"n17g0z3.0"}
{"gc":"n18g0y19.0"}
... (And more, not displayed)And below is what TinyG answers (also copied from the Arduino monitor plugged on the TinyG COM port):

{"r":{"gc":1,"f":[1,0,21,1154]}}As you can see, the line N16 is not acknowledged, although it was sent.
Any idea why ?
After that we can see that TinyG completely lost the track of sent GCode. The response enveloppe shows incoherent GCode.
I can't understand what the error {"r":{"f":[1,48,19,3280]}} is for. I know 49 means "Bad json format", but I can't see any wrong command.
If it helps, my application is handling Xon/Xoff, but I'm pretty sure this is not the case, because until line N16, there is not much data.
Can you pelase help me see through this ?
Thanks
