Laser engrave too slow
nasp2000 opened this issue · comments
I have been using esp3d version 3.0 on a laser with an 8-bit board. It's cool to have the laser working without a PC just through the ESP32.
But there is one thing that ruins everything.... Engraving images with big gcodes of 4 or 5 MB the laser is very slow.
How can I resolve this? I tried diferent MicroSD but can solve this
Unfortunatly current streaming method in esp3d V3 is quite basic and definitly not for fast jobs, what it would need it is a buffered streaming (several commands sent) but current implementation is just a ping/pong streaming 1 commands / ack.
You can try to use a buffered streaming from a PC using raw TCP protocol, it may compensate network latency and also fit your needs.
In future I hope to implement buffered streaming but currently we are working on better ping pong streaming that also fit 3d printer commands
