Trying to get my head around NanoDLP, I wish there was a better documentation...

I'm on a custom 3d printer, runs on RPi 4, a dedicated hat and a 4K 5" mono screen.

A few things I don't quite understand...

1) The UV works while printing but I can't turn it on/off during calibration neither from the touch screen nor the web interface. Do I miss some config?

2) I've seen some configs that add P1 to the end of the G1 command. Like

G1 Z[[LayerPosition]] F{[[ZSpeed]]} P1

what is the P1 for? Is it a pause? I thought the pause was G4 PXXX

3) Why speed are in μm/Second? I saw that the code that is sent is for example: G1 Z0 F3000 so I guess they are mm/s not μm/Second

4) The help says that there's no need to set the framebuffer but without it I can't get any output

5) The resin calibration plate never worked for me, after I run the generation the tool builds just 1 layer and hangs there forever

Thanks!

1. It depends on controller board you are using, no single standard for it.
2. Yes, it is pause but it is RAMPS firmware related, again nothing to do with nanodlp
3. Everything in NanoDLP used to be in micron but as RAMPS working with mm. Unfortunately multiple units used.
4. HDMI configuration is not correct as if it was correct, NanoDLP should be able to communicate through BCM. (Which is much faster)
5. Which build you are using?

Can you offer some examples? How can I configure it? If it works during printing I guess there's something I can change to make it work from the interface.

This is a bit confusing, with a RAMPS board can I assume all speeds are mm?

Can you share hat specs? Is it nanodlp official controller board or something else?

it's a hat taken from a shuffle 2018

Can you share screenshot? Shuffle should be RAMPS I guess.

It is RAMPS, but I just discovered that the problem is with commands given from the touch screen. If I do everything from the web interface it works as expected.

Did you upgrade the touchscreen firmware lately, the link on your website is broken

Download page corrected, thank you.

I do not remember what they may used but it could be non-official program to control HMI which is why your display is not working correctly

I use a standard nextion screen. When was the firmware last updated?

Shahin · 2021-04-05 15:42:33

6 7 months ago but as I mentioned there are two version official and unofficial one (tibus).

matt3o · 2021-04-05 16:07:31

I always used the official ones

Shahin · 2021-04-06 19:47:15

Phrozen used unofficial one as I remember. So it could be unintentional if you have downloaded SD image from somewhere else.

I removed the phrozen screen and replaced with a nextion standard. I put the original firmware there.

Make sure tibus is not running as it race to capture nextion port.
It is nodejs based if you are familiar you could easily stop the service. Maybe it causes the issue.
