grblHAL Ethernet

Hi, I am sure I am being an idiot but I have exhausted all my ideas for investigations. So sorry in advance.

I have a teensy 4.1 which I am trying to play with grblHAL before installing in an (as yet unbuilt) 3 axis mill. I have got it running fine over USB, but as yet all attempts to connect over ethernet fail - I just get an unable to connect message from ioSender (same with UGS). DHCP is working fine and I can ping the board, but no matter what I try I cannot connect.

I am sure I am missing one little step, but despite days of trying I am getting nowhere, yet everyone else seems to report how easy and reliable it is. I have used binaries built by the web builder and built by hand using plaftormio.

Here's hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

@PeteH: The likelihood of anyone being able to help with troubleshooting goes up tremendously if you post your code (make sure to use the </> code tags to keep the readability of what you post intact). Without that, the best anyone can do is make a wild guess, and that's almost certainly not as helpful as being able to both review & build your code to aid in investigation.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for getting back to me - none of this is my code I am just using unmodified grblHAL, I have attached the "my_machine.h" for the binary I have built with platformio. but as I said the grblHAL web builder behaves exactly the same.

I feel there is a setting that I have not set correctly, but no matter what I try it behaves the same. If anyone has a simple check list for enabling ethernet on grblHAL I would appreciate it.

For anyone interested/having the same frustrations, I have sorted this...

The none volatile network settings on the teensy board did not represent the settings I had configured in the my_machine.h file or the web builder.

Specifically $70 was set to 0 which did not enable any of the servers consulting the wiki I enabled the telnet server and ioSender was finally able to connect.

I am sure this behaviour is obvious to many, but left me confused. Anyway all sorted.
