    Yesterday, hello world ran perfectly. Today it won't render the new file.
    I'm running the latest openbuilds control, blackbox4, windows 10. It's the only thing running.

    There is nothing wrong with the gcode in the new file. There is nothing else running on the computer.
    The only other symptoms were that when I tried to upload the file from a thumbdrive, OpenBuildsControl would try to render and then disconnect and then reconnect to the com port. When I try to upload from the computer itself, it gets stuck rendering forever but never loses connection.

    Both the 'hello world' and the new file are .nc files created from easel. Gcode in both is correct.

    Any ideas?

    Solved - the problem appears to be in the files themselves or the thumbdrive transfer between devices. They look fine in an editor, but blank when looked at on the controller device. Thanks for the help!
