My glowforge is (again) stuck in calibration. This happens about half the time I try to use it. You can imagine how frustrating that is.
Here’s the scenario this time…
- Started and worked fine for one cut.
- Screen would not refresh.
- Restarted GF. Stuck in calibration, still showing last image of bed (from prior to restart)
- Shut down GF and restarted everything in the network: router, wifi, and computer
- Restarted GF. Stuck in calibration, still showing last image of bed (from prior to restart)
- Opened app on iphone. Shows last image of bed (from prior to restart)
- Restarted GF. Stuck in calibration, still showing last image of bed (from prior to restart)
- Restarted GF and repeated wifi setup to reconnect to network. Smooth. Still stuck in calibration, still showing last image of bed (from prior to restart)
- Turned off GF, reset wifi channels.
- Restarted GF. Stuck in calibration, still showing last image of bed (from prior to restart)
- Restarted GF and repeated wifi setup to reconnect to network. Smooth. Still stuck in calibration, still showing last image of bed (from prior to restart)
- Shut down, opened lid, restated. (saw that one on the forum). UI shows the lid is open, but… you guessed it, after I close the lid, it is stuck in calibration, still showing last image of bed (from prior to restart)
That’s how I spent the day “enjoying” my glowforge. The bitterness grows with every restart. Can I get a taste of that [quote=“pip, post:25, topic:27575”]small change on our end [/quote] that you served up to meir? Stuck on calibrating!
And if you are asking yourself, if this only happens half the time, what makes it work the other half? I wish I knew. Usually I get frustrated with the 12-step program outlined above, curse a lot, and go to bed. Next time (could be a day later, could be a month) it will work for a bit and then it all starts anew.
