Re: Upload to SD causing S3D to crash
Hey Steve,
I tested this out several times this morning on a few various machines and it hasn't had a problem yet. However, uploading a large G-Code file via the USB serial protocols is EXTREMELY SLOW!! Like really agonizingly slow. That's just a limitation of the USB serial communication and the transfer rates we're stuck with. You're probably better off unplugging the SD card from your machine and plugging it into your computer for the transfer. Is there any particular reason you want to transfer via the USB serial port instead?
Keep in mind that you will have to adhere to the 8.3 naming convention on the SD card with all capital letters. This means the base name is less than 8 characters and the extension is less than 3 characters. So for example really_long_filename.gcode would become LONG.G or something like that.
