Astrobox problems tonight

AstroBox Troubleshooting
#1

Not sure what has happened…

My astrobox just can’t seem to get connected via wired network cable.

Ended up getting it going with the wireless…

Now I can’t push a file from the web site to the astrobox for printing…I get 2% and that is it.

I noticed that the .9.0 update is now available again…attempt to update fail at the first stage trying to download.

I used the file manger to down load my sliced file locally then uploaded that to the astrobox directly…
Attempted to print…resulted in a warm up then the print started then there was a sudden drop in
extruder temp…something I have seen twice before…

Is 0.9 ready to go if not can I still get .8(8) as an image for my RPi2, I don’t see it on the download page?

Thanks

@Darren_DeVecchio:

Ah crap. Apologies for all the trouble and I appreciate your patience good sir!

@Daniel should be able to provide you with an older image (when he wakes up).

I am curious about the causes of all these abnormalities as well.

Well I got a file or two to print after directly uploading them to the astrobox…which was for some reason amazingly slow. No more odd temp failures…

However it occurs to me I could probably make a compressed disk image of my flash card and email or post for down load for you for analysis if you think it would help…

Let me know…I will make the image before I overwrite it IF end up going that route…still printing and hoping I can find some reason for what is happening…I almost want to blame my network but everything else on the net seems to be working fine.

Did this happen after upgrading to 0.9? Or it suddenly happened with the version you’ve been using all this time?

The image would help for analysis if it’s not too much work but also you can start by sending us logs via the settings icon

That is the strange part…it started happening on Monday with the same setup I have been using for quite some time…

I did try to upgrade to .9 when it first was released but could not due to that dependency issue.

I tried the update again want it seemed .9 was re-released or at least started showing up again in my
update screen…but it would not even download.

maybe I messed it up with the failed update somehow but was working…not sure if I ever rebooted it after the last attempt. But I did reboot it before I noticed this problem as it seemed to have become unreachable. It took several attempts to get it to come up, and usually I used a wired connection but I had to go back to the wifi, then use the hotspot to reconnect things. after that I still could not get the wired connection to work, I can’t even ping it. Maybe somehow it is at the wrong IP but the way I set the IP address is with DHCP and I use the MAC address in the routers assignment table to assure the astrobox is always at the same IP. But the wifi is at least usable by the computer to send files. The astrobox reports it is connected to the web but it can’t download files from the cloud, the cloud sees the box as ready when it is on wifi but can the cloud file manager can’t send files to it nor can I reliably connect to if from the web.

Really it seems like a big fat network issue…I reset all the network equipment on this end and nothing else seems to have connectivity problems.

I will see if I can get you the image or at email least the logs later today.
