No display of temp or progress
November 04, 2010 11:17AM
Hi,
I'm using 64 bit Reprap version 0719 with Java 6 update 22 on Windows 7 Home 64 bit. Also using a pololu board and an external thermouple board. My temps are not being displayed on the host software, it just shows 000. I did verify that the thermocouple is working accurately and communicating with all boards. I am able to print and the extruder is maintaining whatever temp it set in the host software, but no display. In addition, there is no display of the layer progess during processing or printing.
Any thoughts?

FIRST turn on debug comm to see what the RepRap Host Software is receiving as a temperature.

SECOND, are you using the RepRap Host to generate the gcode?

If YES then you get a proper layer N of M display otherwise you only see the progress bar which shows what percentage of the gcode has been transmitted to the RepRap. This layer N of M display is accomplished via comment lines in the gcode that are interpreted by the Host software and then displayed in the main window.

Hi Bob,
I turned on the Debug last night and saw no temperatures being transmitted in the command prompt window.
I am using reprap to generate the gcode and I get neither the layer progress nor the gcode transmission progress displayed. Nothing is being displayed in the progress bar or any indication of progress during any use of the reprap host.
I'm thinking the two displays may be related. At start of reprap host, I get the message of RXTX version mismatch as stated on the qbang website for this verison of RXTX 2.2 (the one that works in 64 bit.)
Thanks,
Aras

Sounds like a problem with 64-bit.
How about attaching the gcode so I can take a look at it.

In your gcode are the proper layer comments:

;#!LAYER: 1/37
;#!LAYER: 2/37
;#!LAYER: 3/37
;#!LAYER: 4/37
;#!LAYER: 5/37
;#!LAYER: 6/37
;#!LAYER: 7/37
;#!LAYER: 8/37
;#!LAYER: 9/37
;#!LAYER: 10/37
;#!LAYER: 11/37
;#!LAYER: 12/37
;#!LAYER: 13/37
;#!LAYER: 14/37
;#!LAYER: 15/37
;#!LAYER: 16/37
;#!LAYER: 17/37
;#!LAYER: 18/37
;#!LAYER: 19/37
;#!LAYER: 20/37
;#!LAYER: 21/37
;#!LAYER: 22/37
;#!LAYER: 23/37
;#!LAYER: 24/37
;#!LAYER: 25/37
;#!LAYER: 26/37
;#!LAYER: 27/37
;#!LAYER: 28/37
;#!LAYER: 29/37
;#!LAYER: 30/37
;#!LAYER: 31/37
;#!LAYER: 32/37
;#!LAYER: 33/37
;#!LAYER: 34/37
;#!LAYER: 35/37
;#!LAYER: 36/37
;#!LAYER: 37/37
;#!LAYER: 38/37

This should cause the RepRap Host Software to update the Layer N of M display in the main window.
I have no idea why this doesn't work on your system. sad smiley

Hi ,

have you solve your problem ?

i have similar problem, only that on my window debug the temp is ok.. (see attachment)
i discovery that with a old firmware (gcode interpreter no 5D) host display the temperature, with 5D teacup firmware only on the window debug.

Darwin
Arduino UNO w ATi328
Gen 2 electronics for axis motor stepper
Wade Extruder with motor stepper
SMD A4988 for extruder
Opto endstop

bye
