Bugs! - Phil1988/FreeDi GitHub Wiki

Are there any bugs?

Yes, there are some bugs in the software.
I expect that.

Despite spending countless hours testing the firmware to find and fix bugs,
my time is limited, and it's impossible to check every possible case :)

If you come across any bugs, please open an issue and report them in as much detail as possible.
The more information you provide, the easier it will be for me to locate and fix the issue.

At a minimum, please include the current LCD firmware version you're using and a step-by-step description of how to reproduce the bug.
It would also be helpful if you could check the terminal output and provide a screenshot of the error when it occurs.

To gather this information, connect to your printer via a terminal application (e.g., PuTTY).

For firmwares v1.20 and later: Stop the service first by running:

sudo systemctl stop FreeDi.service

Then, run the following command in your terminal:

cd ~/FreeDi/FreeDiLCD && ~/klippy-env/bin/python3 start.py -debug

This will output debug messages which will help me helping you :)

After that you can reboot the system and it should autostart again or simply start it manually by running:

sudo systemctl start FreeDi.service



For firmwares up to v1.03:

top the service first by running:

sudo systemctl stop X3seriesLCD.service

Then, run the following commands one by one in your terminal:

cd ~/X3seriesLCD && python3 start.py -debug

This will output debug messages which will help me helping you :)

After that you can reboot the system and it should autostart again or simply start it manually by running:

sudo systemctl start X3seriesLCD.service

Known bugs:

  • If you homed your printer and restart klipper, the buttons on the screen dont turn back to gray.
  • You cant connect to a WiFi with hidden SSID.
  • You cant connect to an open/unprotected WiFi.
  • Re-entering the "Network" menue might show a incorrect wifi list until you refresh it.
