Is anyone else finding that the latest version freezes up their machine when loading gcode? My mouse moves, but not much else works. not even the 3 finger salute to bring up task manager responds. My old Intel MacBook with 6gb ram and windows 10 never had a problem with older versions. edit: yep it’s reproducible, my MacBook does eventually start responding, but open builds control is just hammering the CPU. edit 2: it seems to be the 3D view renderer that’s causing the extreme CPU usage.
Good morning, small problem when I stop the spindle in openbuild control, my spindle continues to idle 200/300 rpm, do you have an idea? Thank you
Unsure, best to ask VFD vendor, or cross reference writeups in docs:blackbox-x32:connect-vfd [OpenBuilds Documentation]
I did the test and I receive 9V that I enter the command M3 S1000 or M3 S24000 it does not change anything however I have entered the values $30 = 24000 and $31 = 0 and in the grbl as indicated in the video , but in the video he does not show how to set the correct values since he is right.. for info my VFD: Huanyang HY02D223B
Then Max S-value is 24000 so you should use M3S24000 (that is explained in our documentation too) Adjustment is also shown in the docs I linked you to earlier (remember to measure with VFD disconnected) If you want a deeper understanding of Grbl parameters, the Grbl Wiki is a must-read too: Grbl v1.1 Configuration
Hello. I have one maybe dumb question. Currently I am building panel for CNC. Standard buttons, start stop, jog xyz, 2 encoders for jog and feed speed etc. I am adding also RGB LEDs that buttons are lit in colors. Now I am thinking. It is any chance that OB Control is sending signal to panel? For example of CNC is in alarm the LEDs are blinking red. For sending signals from panel I am using Arduino proMicro and for now, it is sending signal as a "shortcuts" to start macros. I know that this is more hypster think than operational functionality but why not. Thank you in advance.
CONTROL has a Socket.io "websocket" like interface that reports statusses like that. So if your Panel can get on the network, and talk Socket.IO..
Hello to all... yesterday I was update the software to the latest version and I'm getting error. See the attachment!
In that version I was having some lags in section Log/serial console. That's why I upgrade it to v1.0.366
Well have a read through OpenBuilds-CONTROL/CHANGELOG.txt at master · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL Note: no mention of a sudden Performance Increase or support for slower computers Changelogs tells you what the update provides
I always read changelog! I'm back to 364. Everything going smooth except the log/serial control section. Anyway...thanks for the reply Peter!
Right, so - PC specs? No other similar reports - and there hasn't been any changes to serial log, in probably years
I believe you...now about PC specs... CPU Ryzen 5 3600 6core GPU Rx580 32gb ram And plenty of hard disk space. I use it for my work...as a graphic designer so I think the specs are fine for that software. Maybe needs a cleanup - format.
Peter, were there any changes to the 3D view render engine in the last couple of months? As per my post at the top of this page, it used to work fine on my ancient laptop, now it bogs down hard, even for simple things like output from the flattening wizard.
Nothing specific according to OpenBuilds-CONTROL/app/lib/3dview at master · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL last change was around 5 months ago (Addition of the Dark Mode theme in Nov 2022) and Before that, the last change was way back in Jul last year (fixed position of cone during job run and slight change to the color of the cone)
Hmm I hadn’t done much with my machine for quite a few months and I didn’t have the dark theme option until very recently after updating. Something has changed, and even that PoS Candle can manage a 3D render in a few seconds without issues on my laptop. I’ve disabled that feature for now, but it’s really useful and very frustrating not having it for final job orientation checks etc.
Something changed between 328 and 333 that made it less responsive as myself and others have reported here: CONTROL v1.0.333 & Up - Hardware Requirements
Nothing immediately pops out OpenBuilds-CONTROL/CHANGELOG.txt at master · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL And looking at the thread it was a 13 year old CPU But always happy for someone to dig into the commit log Commits · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL - find an exact change, that is also undoable without affecting other functionality including dependency updates (cannot roll back) with a proven test case and we'd be more than happy to apply it
Hello Peter, I get exactly the same message as Naiggel every time I boot my computer. It is an i3 windows 10 with 4gb ram. The message says to pass this on to Github but I don't know how that works. I'm not very good at that matter. Yours sincerely Bert Klappe
Could you spare a moment and test Release v1.0.367 · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL Not sure of the source of the specific error yet, so please test this version and provide feedback. If it does not start, you can try running the installed EXE (after installation) from a command line to check for additional errors. Thanks
