Can't connect my Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 to AstroBox (RPi 2)

Printer Support

It seems to be related to that moment when the printer restarts. It does this when detecting an active serial connection, reboot, then accept serial input. It reboots just after "Recv: start, and then gets that “0.00000” info.

Heres the log from when I click “test connection”:

Ok, I fixed it.
I read through the “Support for Wanhao Duplicator i3” thread, and found the “remove autostart jumper” post.
This immediately solved the problem.

For reference:

  • Remove 7 screws at the bottom, 4 at the back
  • Slide bottom panel slightly backwards
  • Locate the controller board at the top, you should see the “autostart” jumper, remove it.
  • Assemble back together.

I guess a longer timeout after “Start” would probably solve this issue.
