Error encoding
Humery opened this issue · comments
In pronterface, when I click on Connect, I obtain this error :
File "encodings\utf_8.pyc", line 16, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 39: invalid continuation byte
Thank you for your help.
What Pronterface version and OS are you running?
I use Printrun 2014.08.01
My OS is Windows 11, Version 22H2
This version is retired and not compatible with Windows 10/11.
It seems like the config file is corrupt. Sometimes it helps to delete them. Close Pronterface, make a backup of this file and delete it. With starting Pronterface the config file will be created new. For windows you will have two places for the config file. One is in the root of your user directory like "c:\users\YOUR_USER_NAME" and the second is at "c:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Printrun". Delete the the file printrunconf.ini as well.
You should better install the latest release 2.0.0rc8 (https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/releases/tag/printrun-2.0.0rc8) as there are compatibility issues with Windows 10/11. And do not switch between 1.x and 2.x versions as they use the same config files what will lead in an corrupt config file.
J'ai chargé la 2.0.0rc8.
Maintenant, le message d'erreur concerne le port, qui est pourtant dispo (et que je vois dans "Périphériques" et qui n'est utilisé par aucun autre logiciel.
Connecting...
Could not connect to COM3 at baudrate 115200:
Serial error: could not open port 'COM3': PermissionError(13, 'Accès refusé.', None, 5)
Guess, this isn't the original error. have you seen an error with wxPython involved? If yes can you test this version for me:

It is an interim version that deals with the wxPython problem. For all changes please see:

Edit:
I just do an translation and I think I was wrong with my very little (not to say non-) french knowledge.
Pronterface was starting without an error? What kind of printer are you connecting and is the printer recognize from Windows?
You need to check if this is really the case and to what COM port the printer is connected. Open the device manager and check your com ports
In my case you can see the connected smoothie board at COM7. This port is the one you need to set up in Pronterface.
When you have an permission error this came from a blocked COM port. This usually happen if you use a program like Ultimaker Cura at the same time. Those programs are known to lock the port it locate a printer at program start. You first need to close the program before trying to connect your printer with Pronterface. You can't share the COM port with different programs using the port at the same time.
Now I use version 2.0.0rc8, and I have connected on an other port.
All is right :-)
Thank you
You are welcome. I will close the issue.
