I had connectivity issues when i was directly connecting to the maslow wifi as
well, super frustrating, would disconnect all the time and couldnt reconnect
without a power cycle. Get your home wifi so that the signal is nice and
strong/close to the maslow and then connect to the maslow through your home
wifi (There will be a tutorial somewhere) This fixed the connectivity issues.
I agree that the device was released to the public with way too many issues
but if you keep at it, make your own thread on here for support then you can
get it working

One thing I am seeing is that devices see that the maslow does not have Internet
connectivity, so after a bit, they will disconnect from the maslow to try and
find another network that does have connectivity.

There is an issue I just filed on github that should help us detect what is
happening, and hopefully include workarounds that will let us lie to clients and
make them think that this really is a legitimate network and they don’t need to
try and find a ‘real’ network.

not that long ago, android would complain about the network not having Internet
connectivity and let you tell it that you really did want to use it. I can’t
find that capability in the current versions :frowning:

An update on the calibration issue! I updated to v1.12 and was able to run calibration with the 3x3 grid 400mm x 400mm! Then I tried running the 7x7 grid 800mm x 800mm and it seems to be getting stuck after calculating measuring waypoint ~ 50.

I should be fine to run it on just the 3x3 calibration right?

Thanks again!

in theory, the more points and the bigger area, the more accurately the anchor
points will be located, and therefore the more accurate the machine

so try it with just the anchor locations found by the 3x3 calibration and see if
that works well enough for your work. If not, we can go back and track down
what’s happening with the larger grid.

It should be fine, but you might get better results if you try going a little bigger like maybe 5x5.

It can also help to do a size that has an aspect ratio closer to the sheet of plywood which is 2:1 so instead of 800x800 try 800x600

I was preparing to run cut out some stuff after I ran calibration, when I noticed that the farther I move the Maslow from the home point the more slack would appear in the trailing belts (the belts opposite from where I am going). If move it back to the home point they get tight again, and if I keep going in that direction the trailing belts get slack again. So the only time I have full tension on all the belts is when it is in the home position.

Here is some info about my Maslow: I am running v1.12 and I am in horizontal mode (both when I ran calibration and when trying to use it)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

That sounds like exactly the same issue that we are seeing here: Losing belt position - w/ video - please help! :) - #15 by Spnc

Does that look like a similar issue?

Yes that does!

I will read through those and see what I can find!
