ARGH - Belts not coming out entirely for calibration, impossible to update firmware

It is starting to driving me crazy… the belts are not coming out entirely for calibration! i opened the arms again (painfully long work) and added some oil and grease, put all together again and still the same. When going for calibration afterwards it stops the process because of not moving securely or something like that and it writes also that there is an offset.

I whent trough that 20 times again, nothing! still the same, ok, i tried to update the firmware because it shows me that i have the v0.87, but it won’t connect to my hotspot, i tried with other phones, exactly the same, it says no SSID.

So i downloaded the zip. with the 3 files inside, i could upload only the “index.html.gz”.
nothing changes again… frustrating
I am completely lost.

in configs ihave the grid size set to 5x5 width: 1000. height:700. My ankor points have a width of 2000mm and height of 1250mm.

Ive got a macbook pro m1.

i forgot to say that the buttons of the menu are not working (upload button)!
I have to open a tab in the browser with my ip, only there the buttons are working.

Am i making something completely wrong?

what version are you trying to upgrade to? you should be able to go to 0.88 but
to go to 1.x you need to use a USB cable and follow the special directions for
that.

There are known bugs with the latest release, but there is a possible fix posted
for testing.

when you say the belts are not coming out, what is happening/not happening? you
have to keep pulling on them for them to extend.

I dont know which version i try to update to? I was thinking that the problem comes from the 0.87 so i downloaded the files from github given in the setup section by bar. On the update button i can chose a file from my pc, but i can chose only the firmware.bin file. I was thinking that it will automaticaly upload to the latest software.

The belts are not fully released! 2 belts are coming out the same length and 2 diferents length when making second step after rectracting all. I pull them just a little of course, but everything runs smoothly and the magnets are at the right places also.

on older versions, there are two belts that feed out just a little more than the
other two.

please check which version you are trying to upgrade to, and if it’s 1.x I would
wait until after this week’s update (or test the latest index.heml posted, I
think by lee)
