I'd like a solution where I can edit the code or something to fix it

The master branch has a fix in place for a few issues that were introduced since the release of the M5C and the updated firmware

Do you also have the AnkerMake app or Slicer open? If any other service or app is utilizing the PPPP stream, it won't load on ankerctl.

Can you look into the console logs of your browser or the server's logs and see what errors are being shown for the PPPP connection?

Then why did you ask for a "solution where I can edit the code or something to fix it" ?

Also ensure that both the ankerctl server and your printer are on the same network and can reach each other. You could test this by pinging your printer's IP from the machine that is running ankerctl, if you are using the docker container you'd need to enter the container in interactive mode to do this.

Is that the only log line? There are no other errors? Can you run ankerctl with the --verbose flag?

I am seeing this same issue. In the dashboard MQTT and CTRL are green, PPPP is yellow. I can see the message stream with updates on temperature etc. while a print is running, but I can't send gcode because of PPPP.

I'm using the master branch, both machines are on the same subnet (also M5 pings fine).

Here's a section of the verbose log that is repeating over and over:

Btw I can debug Python no problem, if you gave me a few hints on where to look. As far as I can see, a PktLanSearch is sent through the socket, but nothing happens after that. It just keeps trying connect over and over.

Packet capture shows me that ankerctl.py is sending f1300000 over UDP to the M5, which is responding with f141001445555052414b4d00000009084346464846000000.

I am seeing similar behavior. I am starting the server with the command ankerctl.py --pppp-dump pppp.log -v webserver run

This should just be a reporting issue, printing should still work with the M5C.
You can try the ankerctl version from my integration branch at https://github.com/treitmayr/ankermake-m5-protocol/tree/m5c-integration which includes all my PRs #145, #148, and #150. This should show a correct PPPP badge and remove the rotating video animation.

I think I'm having the same issue here as well. I have an M5C and I'm using @treitmayr ankermake-m5-protocol-m5c-integration branch. I load up the web server, I log in with my details and it successfully pulls in my config just fine. It stores my IP which I can ping just fine. I have green on MQTT and HTTP but the PPPP is yellow.

@rcourtman Could you try with the Windows Defender Firewall disabled to rule out that the packets are dropped by the firewall? If true, this might be the same or similar issue as #49.

I tried this myself now, and initially disabling the firewall allowed the pppp connection to be established. Eventually I ended up adding two firewall rules (one incoming, one outgoing) which allow UDP traffic on all ports for the python3.12.exe (not python.exe!) executable.

Boom! worked straight away! Thank you! will add the rules.

Ugh, can't believe I didn't think to check the firewall.

Disabling Defender solved the problem. 🤘🏽 Thank you! Also thank you for the research and building out this tooling. I'm so happy to use Orca to print direct to my M5.

also had the same issue with the same resolution. I added python rules for private network and everything works now
