Startup Messages

Please see pict shared in Machine Description.

I have also encountered a different error when trying to upload a different config se picture uploaded in machine description.

Also I get some strange characters within the FluidTerm after powering on / of the controller (picture also included above)

User Interface Software

FluidTerm

What happened?

Nothing. No movement or sound of power to steppers etc. The steppers are wired to the controller as common cathode and acc. to wiring instructions on the controller.

No comms with the VFD although I cheked the wiring and parameter settings in FluidNc Wiki....

Added note...the steppers powered on with an green LED and the power led etc. on the root controller was indicating "on", VFD powered as well

Let's fix the start errors first.

I see an error in your config file. For the Huanyang, the uart parameters are not indented under the uart: line. This causes all the uart parameters to issue warnings.

Huanyang:
  uart:
  txd_pin: gpio.17
  rxd_pin: gpio.16
  rts_pin: gpio.4

  tool_num: 0
  speed_map: 0=0% 0=25% 6000=25% 24000=100%

I suggest using the new style separate uart section as described here.

Thank you very much. Please see my updated file below and I will test ASAP. What about the error I got when trying to upload a new config (ref in picture incl. in my post). It was written as Returned -2 and if it happens again I will not be able to upload the corrected yaml :(

Also could this "double enter" become an issue for the config?

We can't verify your corrected YAML because it was pasted without three-back-tick quotation, so github reformatted it and removed the indentation. Can you edit that post to quote it correctly, or else add a .txt suffix to the yaml filename and attach the file?

Re the "Returned -2": It's hard to know exactly what caused that. Reset the machine and retry. Maybe it will work the second time.

Extra linefeeds are not a problem.

Thanks...as I'm unsure how to add the three back tics correctly (should it be both in the start and the end of the file) I have renamed the Yaml to a txt file. If possible please have a look if there is something "structually" wrong with the file. and how I have formatted it...most of it is a copy from a config downloaded from the Root Github but maybe I have mad a mess of things in the structure (even if I have not changed much)

Please have a look. Thanks :)

Yes the quoting is correct. If you select the Preview tab you can see what it looks like before posting. I will look at the file. Typically the startup messages will complain if there is a structural problem, usually with a message about indentation or about some item not being recognized.

Your yaml loads on my controller without complaint.

Here are the startup message from your yaml. This is on a midtbot controller that I used for some kinds of testing. The firmware version is essentially 3.7.15 plus a couple of changes that are unrelated to anything we are discussing here. The fact that it is not a Root Controller does not affect the ability to parse the yaml file. It does result in the [MSG:INFO: VFD RS485 Unresponsive] message at the end, as I have no VFD on this controller (or any active controller at present).
