Hey everyone, I am a newbie and everything was going great today and then all of a sudden, everything stopped working. OpenBuilds CONTROL became very slow to respond to anything I want to do. Also, the Serial Console shows the below. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes. I plugged in the CNC to my laptop as well and installed OpenBuilds. OpenBuilds does not freeze off and on while running on the laptop like it does when I have it running on my desktop, but I still get the same errors. As for what it does and doesn't do, I can turn on and off the spindle but if I try to jog any of the axis's they don't move. I have one of those cheap engraving/cnc machines from China (3018 Pro) and I suspect that the stepper drivers may have gone out or something in the machine settings somehow changed and now it isn't responding. Below are my firmware settings so maybe there is something there that is wrong, but I am not sure what to look for. I have no endstops installed or any extras. $0 10 Step pulse time $1 255 Step idle delay $2 0 Step pulse invert $3 4 Step direction invert $4 1 Invert step enable pin $5 0 Invert limit pins $6 0 Invert probe pin $10 1 Status report options $11 0.020 Junction deviation $12 0.002 Arc tolerance $13 0 Report in inches $20 0 Soft limits enable $21 0 Hard limits enable $22 0 Homing cycle enable $23 3 Homing direction invert $24 100.000 Homing locate feed rate $25 1000.000 Homing search seek rate $26 250 Homing switch debounce delay $27 5.000 Homing switch pull-off distance $30 20000 Maximum spindle speed $31 0 Minimum spindle speed $32 0 Laser-mode enable $100 800.000 X-axis travel resolution $101 800.000 Y-axis travel resolution $102 800.000 Z-axis travel resolution $110 2500.000 X-axis maximum rate $111 2500.000 Y-axis maximum rate $112 2500.000 Z-axis maximum rate $120 150.000 X-axis acceleration $121 150.000 Y-axis acceleration $122 150.000 Z-axis acceleration $130 1000.000 X-axis maximum travel $131 1000.000 Y-axis maximum travel $132 100.000 Z-axis maximum travel
Best to mention non-standard info early on - i'd be expecting an OpenBuilds machine/controller by default after all So our controllers need $4=1 (enabled) because both the xPro and BlackBox has inverted driver-enable signals. Your controller, probably doesn't, so try with $4=0 (disabled) in Grbl Settings
The controller board I have is a Woodpecker 3.2A (Grbl). I will try what you suggest though. Thank you.
Ok, so I changed what you suggested but also looked at settings others had for this particular control board and machine. Somehow, my settings were way off. As soon as I did that, the stepper motors now move. However, I can't get it to work with OpenBuilds CONTROL. I still get that same error of Websocket being disconnected. Also, it will appear in my "hidden icons" tray, but the program doesn't come up unless I click it's icon in that tray, even they it is running? So to recap, I can now get Candle, USG and other software to work, but OpenBuilds Control won't connect and is very, very slow to respond. It was very fast when I initially installed it a few days ago, so I don't know what has changed.
Remember to close all the other software before running CONTROL, some (CNCJS etc) may use same resources leading to crash Specs of the PC? Try a different PC It runs as a service yes, so the integrations from for example cam.openbuilds.com, file associations for obc files, etc can function before you run it
The specs for my PC are as follows. It is a custom built machine, using a i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz, 32GB of RAM, 64-bit operating system running Windows 10 Pro. It has a GeForce GTX 970 video card and it has two SSD drives 1 at 250GB and 1 at 1TB. The motherboard is an ASUS X99. I just tried it on my laptop and OpenBuilds works perfectly. So I am thinking something is going on with the OpenBuilds install on my desktop. Any ideas? I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.
Incompatible with something running on it. Make sure to close extra applications, make sure its allowed through any local firewalls / antivirusses etc Websockets run on ports 3000/3001
Ok, I have gone in and made sure those two ports are open. The program when it starts is extremely slow to respond. It still gives me the websocket errors.
As it works on the other PC, and the other several thousand users without complaint, I don't know what more to tell you. Nothing I can do for you. Use the laptop, format the PC, update drivers, call the IT guys
I do notice on my laptop at the top I have Control, GRBL Settings and Troubleshooting. However, on my desktop I only have Control and Troubleshooting.
Grbl settings only appear after succesfully connecting to grbl Only thing I can check: On the PC where it doesnt work, bring up CONTROL, Press ctrl+shift+i to open devtools, and click the Console tab - press F5 to refresh the application. Screenshot the window and post here
Yea, I don't know what to do. I will just wait for the next update on the software and maybe that will jar things loose.
Ok, one thing I noticed is on the laptop it is running v1.0.223 and on the desktop it is running v1.0.215 and it won't update. Could that have something to do with it?
Nope, but please, do the test I asked for and I'll reply accordingly, looking at the log will get us further than guessing (;
Could not connect to the localhost:3000 websocket server... so still stands... Something else on the PC may be tying up port 3000/3001, or its blocked by something More likely the first, error 400 means there is something responding on port 3000 but its not our websocket server - request was sent to an instance which did not know the given socket id, hence the HTTP 400 response.
Checkout {{ service.title }} - substitute 8080 from the tutorial for 3000 Or try opening a web browser to localhost:3000
Same issue, just at a different time, whatever is running on port 3000 is NOT control, as its not even responding the the VersionAPI so
Ok I did that and nothing is running on port 8080. However on port 3000 NVIDIA Share.exe is using that port.
Yes of course, never said to check 8080, told you to substitute from the tutorial... As the tutorial uses 8080, but we want to check 3000... So disable/uninstall Nvidia Share then, its conflicting
Hahahahaha. Sorry, been getting a little stir crazy, my brain is not functioning at full capacity. LOL So I think one of my sons installed NVIDIA GeForce Experience which has that Share executable running. I uninstalled it and OpenBuilds is working again. Thank you. It also downloaded the update.
