Hi, Need some help with this ongoing issue, seems no one has a solution and its been going on for years, maybe even getting worse?
i use any other printer software and it connects without issue, immediately with full control.
Just installed pronterface,and PiBot and connect with out probs.

i have had the same problem for years, it shows connected but there is no temp's showing, or any control, basically not realy connected

Seems i am having this issue too much.
If i open any other Printer control software i connect no problem?

@mooose14 .. i have seen this before
check in firmware there are no offset values on Z?
try reload the firmware run a print from stock firmware no changes?

should have stopped the print at go?
try a small calibration object first,
need more inf from u on your settings
seems you had no bed adhesion to start with?

there it is

OK I think it might be The Stepper Connector is / has a loose wire?

Only driving 1/2 the motor as the head moves to the left it disconnects a pin? then the stepper shudders as is only half powerd?
3: You will have to secure the cables properly?
maybe make an aluminium bracket and bolt it to, 2 of the stepper screw at the rear, they are open from the looks at the vid.
and check where the motor connector and harnes is attached to the HE Assembly for loose /poor wire joints

As it only does it on the one side it eliminates many othe possibillities and focus is drawn to a wire under tension on a loosly attached harness?
ISTC.

@mrwire have you revisited bed levelness?
sounds like there could be something restricting free movement?
check there is nothing pulling on the carriage?
you have photos or short vid clip you can post?
what robot you using?

Thank you for the reply,
this is the printer not communicating or connecting correctly with the MC software?
on connect manny times it will not see the port and i will have to switch on and of and unplug many times to no avail.
but i have a clue... that may help ?
if i remove the printer (after it had done many prints)from MC and add new printer it then connects correctly and shows HE and bed temp .
