OpenBuilds CONTROL Software

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

 

yes VFD PD04 ? or PD 07 ?

 

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

 

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.

 

Hello to all... yesterday I was update the software to the latest version and I'm getting error. See the attachment!

 

And I'm getting also this...??
Can anyone having same issues?

 

In that version I was having some lags in section Log/serial console. That's why I upgrade it to v1.0.366

 

I always read changelog!
I'm back to 364. Everything going smooth except the log/serial control section. Anyway...thanks for the reply Peter!

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

Will do.
Thanks

 

Sure I will try it and I will let you know!

 

It’s an old Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz with 6Gb ram, Samsung SSD and running Windows 10.

 

Control reads and streams gcode, it’s not a CPU intensive task!
