How do you delete unneeded .nc files from the M4? Can’t seem to see the directory they’re kept in the way you can with the firmware files. I currently have only 8 KB of space left. With only 192 KB of space total, I guess this is something we all need to do every so often to reclaim memory?

The .nc files are stored on an SD card which has 256Mb of memory so it’s less pressing, but it is still good to delete them.
There actually isn’t a great way to delete files right now, I need to work on that.
The best way at the moment is to click on this tab here and scroll down to SD Files section.

Okay, that’s great to know. That’s easy enough. And it’s also good to know memory isn’t actually an issue.Thanks.
So this 8 KB of available space is only for this section? I’m having trouble updating the firmware and thought this low space could’ve maybe been the reason.

The ESP32 has very limited memory for storing the firmware, but that is an entirely different memory than where we keep the Gcode files.
What is happening when you update the firmware?
I see. So I’m able to upload the latest firmware (v.83) to 100% and then midway through the restart, it looses connection to the machine. This is consistently happening. I’ve tried with a few browsers as well.

I think that might be normal, when the machine restarts it should lose connection for a second. When things come back online is it running the new firmware or the old firmware?

I think it is actually updating, someone else reported that number as being incorrect (although I could t figure out why).
What number do you see if you press Test?
Ahh okay. So I do see 0.83 for the firmware (and 0.82 for the index.html which means I probably didn’t update that yet). That’s great that the firmware update happened. (Looking foward to seeing if the dust collector wont cause any interference.) Thanks!

Yes and no, there is not a removable SD card, but there is a non-removable SD
card equivalent (shows up to the system as a SD card)
