TinyG firmware support in the LitePlacer Application?

[Vbhunt]

My TinyG has the following firmware according to the M115 Gcode:

<== FIRMWARE_NAME:TinyG, FIRMWARE_URL:https%3A//github.com/synthetos/TinyG, FIRMWARE_VERSION:0.97, FIRMWARE_BUILD:440.21, HARDWARE_PLATFORM:1.00, HARDWARE_VERSION:8.00
<== tinyg [mm] ok>
*** Cnc.Connect(), did not find a supported board.

Which causes the above error. What firmware should I flash in my TinyG to run the LitePlacer application?

I use 440.20. I'll check the 440.21 soon; as a temporary fix, I released a version without the software check today.

Finally got around to installing the new high-res cameras on my Liteplacer. But again having trouble getting the latest Liteplacer application software to connect to my TinyG. I reloaded the TinyG firmware (440.20) using the new Synthetos TinyG-Updater v0.6.1https://github.com/synthetos/TinyG-Upda ... tag/v0.6.1. I am again getting the following result:

I also tried using the "edge" version of the TinyG firmware (449.01). This version connected but none of the application jogging commands work nor did the homing commands. Is there some setting ( such as clearing a cache of some type) that I've missed?

The gcode command M115 is generally used for board identification. Apparently, the newest TinyG software gives different result than the previous firmware versions. This will be easy to fix, and you give enough information that I can go that. I’ll get back to you when I’m released from hospital (I had an operation yesterday).

No promises regarding the edge version, until I’m fully operational.

I hope everything went well with the operation. Please get well before tackling this! I can wait till you are recovered.

And I had fixed it already, just didn't remember that I had. (From now on, I'll "pin" the software announcement posts to the top.) Your LitePlacer software is not up to date, please see viewtopic.php?t=6622.

(I'm still not good enough to work full-time so no news about the edge revision, but I'm good enough to be part time in the office, addressing issues like this.)
