Octoprint wont start my prints
Octoprint wont start my prints
I've been trying to get my M2 to work with Octoprint recently and have only had partial success. Up to this point I can monitor the printer via the webcam, heat the extruder and bed, move the extruder and bed, read the SD card....basically I can do everything except get Octoprint to start a print. When I upload a file and tell it to start the print it will heat the extruder/bed but then it never starts the print. All the temps will hold at the correct values but the printer will just sit there idle all night. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using Simplify3D to generate my gcode and running Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

What does it say in the Terminal tab when it's sitting there hanging? Anything?
Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
Octoprint acts just like it is printing, it runs through the gcode but the machine never moves....below is typical of what I get in the terminal viewer:

Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
Try turning off checksums (Settings, Features). There was a Marlin bug from a year ago that may be affecting you: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/pull/1017
Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
Unfortunately the checksums option was already turned off.....still no luck
Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
That's pretty odd. From your terminal trace, it looks like octoprint is sending the g-code and the RAMBo is getting them. And this works using another host program (Simplify3D?)
Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
Oh, the checksums are not turned off, by the way, that's what those *[number] things are.
Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
I'll check into the check sums again, thanks for the help
Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
I had this problem and it ended up being a bad flash. I would suggest reflashing the pi.
Re: Octoprint wont start my prints
I'll try a re-flash this weekend, this is getting frustrating.
