I’ve just setup my Geeetech A30 with my astroprint. I can connect and send the file to print, everything seems to work but i get no temp feedback as i do with my anet.
Any help would be appreciated.
See pic below
Hmm further problems, my print fails after layer 2 each time. There printer resets for some reason.
It’s hard to know what’s going on. You can activate Serial Logs from Settings / Software / Advanced and then see the log at /var/log/astrobox/seral.log that might give you some clues.
Ok - I’ve enabled logging so will start a small print and take a look. I guess I should see the M105 for extruder there.
@Daniel I sent a file to print and then cancelled the print job while it was printing the skirt. As before i was getting no feedback from Astroprint as to bed or extruder temp.
I cleared the log before i started so below is a complete copy of the serial log. I can see the m105 commands being sent but nothing is being returned and there are no errors being show that i can identify.
Any help diagnosing the issue would be greatfully recieved

Interesting, It’s still not working, but if I use the command M105 from the Gcode terminal i do seem to get the temp back so i’m really confused as to why i can’t see it in the web interface or the app
The protocol in your printer HW has a problem or is incompatible. Note the responses to the M105 have an empty line before the temp. This throws off our parser
Your firmware does this:
2018-08-13 11:34:40,353 - SERIAL - DEBUG - Send: M105
2018-08-13 11:34:40,378 - SERIAL - DEBUG - Recv:

It should do this:
2018-08-13 11:34:40,353 - SERIAL - DEBUG - Send: M105

Ah! I assume there isn’t a lot you can do about this to make it compatible a your end. Looking at the gcode terminal is does this for every command.
I’ll contact Geeetech but I guess they won’t be overly keen to do anything.
This is non-standard so they should care and fix it as this makes their printer incompatible not only with our system but also with others. Have you tried any other host software with the printer?
No not yet as i use Astroprint with my other printers. On the facebook group people keep suggesting i use octoprint which seems to be functioning with the printer (not tried it yet) or Reptier Server. I’ll have to do an install this week of Octoprint and have a look.
Let me know if OP works without any special plugin
will do. I realise Astro is a fork from octo but it is so much nicer and i’d prefer not to change.
I’ve reported it to Geeetech and got the following response
Someone else has logged it on git hub also
However I have now tried Octoprint and that works perfectly. I have to admit i’d much prefer to use Astro, it’s a much nicer interface so if there is anything you can do to strip the extra newline character that would be ace.
Thanks
Damian
We will look into that but it would take a while because changes at this level need to be tested very well in many different printers. Thanks for reporting
No problems, if you need me to test any fix just let me know
