I’m having trouble using gSender on a Raspberry Pi5 on my Sainsmart Genmitsu 3020 Pro Ultra.
Simply put, it just says “connecting” forever, but doesn’t actually ever connect.
I tried using cncjs instead and it detects /dev/ttyUSB0 and connects just fine, so it seems like the issue is gSender specific.
I have uploaded diagnostics here diagnostics_6-20-2025_18-45-12.zip
It seems that gSender can also see /dev/ttyUSB0, but for some reason it won’t actually connect to it.
@ssylvan Hello, welcome to the forum Sebastian!
Are you a member of the dialout group? I had to add myself to that group in order to connect on Linux.
Yes, I’m in the dialout group.
I was hoping it was an easy fix but I guess not. Are you trying with the new version 1.5? I’m having problems with 1.5 on Ubuntu but 1.4.12 is working for me. Maybe give 1.4.12 a try? You’ll need to delete or rename ~/.sender_rc. Might have to do the same ~/.config/gSender/ as well if your going from 1.5 to 1.4.12.
Not sure where you downloaded from but you can get any release from GitHub.
Yeah I am trying 1.5. It does appear that 1.4.12 works correctly, so I guess it’s just a bug in the new version. Thanks!
Weirdly, 1.5 now works! Something about deleting the configs and going to 1.4.12 first and then back to 1.5 seems to have made the difference?
Maybe clean installs (I went to 1.5 first) weren’t tested and it needs some config from 1.4.12 to run correctly? Or maybe it just got into a bad state and deleting the configs was the trick. Either way I’m going to leave it alone since it works now.
Interesting to know, I’ll see if we can find anything about this. Good to hear you’re up and running now @ssylvan!
