Makelangelo software "cache" ?

[Anonymous]

Ive manage to build myself another robot after i have fried the first, and make it bigger withe a board of 1600×980 suitable to print on A1 paper, but now ican’t save my new settings ( change machine dimensinos click save-nothing happeds, if i change pulley dimension and click save it saves but only the pulley dimension), i have updated/rolled back teh software and the firmware, and unistaled/instaled java again+ run a cleenup of temp files in windows 10, the old setting keeps “poping-up” , and it remeber the machine name #1 :). I wonder if the setting are in some hidden files?

[Dan]

I changed settings to separate software settings and hardware settings. (example: makelangelo 5 only has one width, CanChangeWidth=false) It seems the last release has a bug in this neighborhood. I’ve got a patch but I haven’t confirmed the patch works yet. I’m not smart enough to write a unit test to guarantee it works every time. I don’t want to release a new version that’s still broken.

Can you build the latest master branch from github and tell me if it’s better for you? the gitub branch is here:

instructions to build and test are here:

Seems the patch works1!I have run the project thru eclipse and it started with the “correct numbers” 1600*980. In eclipse it shows me this ” Nov 25, 2016 12:16:25 AM java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences <init>
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(…) returned error code 5.” And i cant export it into a runnable jar-file.(or I done it wrong)

[Dan]

We are aware of the warning, it is being ignored because it’s not relevant.
You’d have to create a new debug configuration with name=”package makelangelo” and goals=”package”. then run that config and it will export to ./java/target/Makelangelo-[VERSION].jar

(i have read the tutorials you provided) It was giving me some errors, when it was testing, i know realize i can skip them. Now it works wonders, right corner its a little bit “pulled-out” but i will messure the lenght again. i’m sure thats the problem. Thank you very much!

[Dan]

the unit tests gave errors? that should never happen. please tell me what errors you saw.

Huh! How did you get a machine GUID of -1?

[Anonymous]

I don’t know… on the first one was something like 18XXX.

[Dan]

Does the list of GUIDs still include your 18xxx number? you can scroll through them when you’re not connected.

[Anonymous]

No, i have -1 from the first time i have change the boards.

[Anonymous]

what it means?

[Dan]

Every machine in the world has a GUID greater than zero. When a machine is brand new it should have GUID 0. The GUID is replaced the first time it connects to the software with a unique number. You should never get a -1. The test is confirming that there are no junk GUIDs. I don’t know how your machine was set to -1 or why your software forgot that another number existed. it’s not fatal, just… very odd.

[Anonymous]

On my first machine i used the limit test to calibrate it. now i can’t manage to do it. it kinda stops, a few centemeters from completeting and ho to the home position (not the orginal one, a few centimeters lower allso), where should I look?
I have tried 1 changing lenght of machine -/+5cm and home position -/+5cm . nothing changed exept “bowing”.

[Dan]

I noticed in the last version that the limit test was going to the top center of paper, then the four corners, then directly home instead of finishing the top edge of the paper. now it finishes the top edge.

Does this help identify the problem at all?

this is what i got on long runs i got this kinda splitting sorry for the delay, i dont have good internet in the country side…

[Dan]

You’re losing steps, or the string is slipping on the pulley. We switched to belts with teeth to eliminate the problem.

So many subtle design choices…

i shall go find them steps 🙂 i found lego and fishing wire can take any form 😀

[Anonymous]

Well.i still can’t make it run properly, changed the motors, pulleys (11mm diametrs plastic,ruber,metal and ruber) changed wires to the motors 4x1mm same lenght, shields v1 and v2 , the suspenison wires from nylon to textile fishing wires, one side is still droopy. at this moment i think when I changed (some versions ago) the pulley from 11 to 12 then back again to 11 it keeps the setting from one pulley. i will try to purcahe localy a belt and pulleys… then i will give up 😀

[Dan]

wire has never worked for me. I tried by nylon and textile. maybe also check that the pulley is not slipping on the motor shaft. In the early days we used 3d printed pulleys and they would come loose very often.
