G-CODE Viewer - What can this be??

tecno

This has occured once or twice before and now again? Any ideas what may cause this?

@tecno your topic title is vague. Try including "GCode viewer" in the title, that way the right people are more likely to read it.

Can this be memory error as loaded file is 38Mb?

@tecno hi there. Can you go into the developer console on your browser and see if you have an error message. It looks like something with WebGL is not initializing.

Hello there, I have 2 browsers 1 Win/Chrome and 1 RPI with similar symptoms.

Win is yellow and RPi is 'dead' with this g-code viewer.

It all started way back with first input shaping plugin so I do not buy WebGL
It is a pitty it wont show up so easily. Printer is now occupied for at least 18 hours.

@tecno what version of DWC are you using? When you get the yellow screen on the gcode viewer hit F12 and see what error it says. Someone recently mentioned having to turn off the input shaping plugin and it went away. These plugins are unrelated so just trying to find a cause behind it. I wrote the gcode viewer and a yellow screen is because the viewer did not startup for whatever reason. Just want to help find the reason…

TLAS

@tecno

I’ve used that library a bit. Some times the zoom settings are a bit funny or you could have unit errors. Can you move the view around at all?

Duet Web Control 3.4.0-b3
Board: Duet 3 Mini 5+ (Mini5plus)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 Mini 5+ 3.4.0beta3 (2021-08-24)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.26

Next time I get this I will hit F12 on my PC but on RPi I have neither F12 or F11 on my mini keyboard.

Is the a way to make F11 and F12 macro?

Do you mean on the virtual keyboard? A physical mini keyboard is likely to have a FN button to use the function keys . I do not believe the virtual keyboard can emulate function keys.

Also what pi are you using to run the viewer? I've found some success with a Pi4 if you up the video memory but I mainly stick to using the viewer on PC since it can be resource intensive depending on the size of the gcode.
