Unable to connect with new version

rclarke250 · March 8, 2022, 1:26pm

I have a Sparkmaker LaserPro 10W and was able to connect and run the laser with version 1.06. With 1.1.01 I get waiting for connection: and if I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in, it connects, but never homes, or gives ok in the console. It runs an ESP32 chip and GRBL. It stops with this output: Waiting for connection…

I suggest you rollback to 1.0.6 and see if the problem goes away. This will isolate the problem to the upgrade or reveal that there is something else going on.

A post was split to a new topic: Custom Laser engraver ESP32 (GRBL 1.3a) not connecting

Adding @lightburn and @rick here for visibility.

They may ask you for some additional diagnostic data.

rclarke250 · March 8, 2022, 9:23pm

I did roll back, as it works fine. Also the crappy software that came with the laser engraver works fine. So, not a cable, not my laptop, and not the the laser.

rclarke250 · March 10, 2022, 12:49am

update to 1.1.02 and still won’t connect. 1.06 works good.

So did I pay for something I can’t use? If so, how do I get my money back? I just bought it the day 1.1 came out?

LightBurn · March 10, 2022, 2:12pm

That tells me that LightBurn is pinging the LaserPro with a command (G0, followed by enter) and the LaserPro is not replying with anything, so LightBurn can’t tell if it’s there or not.

This could be a bug in the LaserPro firmware OR you have not connected it to the correct COM port. Check the drop-down list next to the ‘Devices’ button to see if there are more options, and if there are, try them each in turn while looking at the console window to see if one connects.

rclarke250 · March 10, 2022, 10:16pm

Same com port I used before in 1.06 that works, and same as the laserpro software. com 3 115,200 baud. Not sure what else you need me to try?

A post was split to a new topic: Sparkmaker - not connecting

rclarke250 · April 8, 2022, 11:57am

Not a Sparkmaker, not sure why you split it off to something it isn’t. And no it still doesn’t work, just stopped replying as the help isn’t helping. It would be nice to use the new version but I can’t, still not happy, but there it is.

JohnJohn · April 11, 2022, 4:48pm

Honest mistake I suppose. Happy to help if i can.

I screwed up,I am testing a setting change suggested by Markus (MMC) in another thread, and it seems to be working. I just ran a few test pieces.

Aerospacesmith · May 1, 2022, 5:21pm

Have you tried Matt Dow’s latest Lightburn profile from April 13? He says its for use with the latest version of Lightburn (1.1.03). I don’t have Facebook and can’t get the file. If you have access, try the profile out and can you send a link to where ever he is hosting it (Dropbox, etc)?
