Unknown/Sync loop Issue

Troubleshooting
1

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all the best in this new decade of 2020.

I wanted to make a follow-up post on an issue I had in a previous post I submitted in late September. In short, It looks like my Farmdiuno is failing? I’m not completely sure to be honest though.

Here is a breakdown of what happens in sequence from beginning to end.

After flashing the FBOS and reconnecting. The FB gets stuck in this Syncing/Unknown loop.

After about 15-20 min the loop ends and the FB receives this error and gets stuck in a sync only loop.

After about 5 min the sync loop stops and finishes syncing. I can move the FarmBot with the move buttons just fine. however, I cannot move the FarmBot with the “move mode” in the Farm Designers.

Everything seems to be working just fine besides the move mode in the Farm Designer but the process was very odd. I did absolutely nothing to intervene or solve the loop issue. I just kinda let it work itself out (more like leave it for a little bit and hope it fixed itself lol) but I thought I might as well make a post for documentation purposes. I feel confident that the brain system of this FB is just old and needs replacing (<—any input welcomed on this) and we will also be purchasing another FB for the school here soon so I’m not too worried about the issue.

I’ve been away from the school for the past 2 weeks and just now am seeing all the new features and updates from December 31st. Absolutely great freakin job guys. The sequence folders and bulk plant selection are A+ features. :+1: :slightly_smiling_face: Keep up the great work.

Happy New Year! :tada:

The 429 error you are seeing is almost certainly the result of too many HTTP requests sent by the device (the server has throttled you, most likely). The big question now would be to find out why FBOS decided to send so many sync messages. I will take a look at your device today and see if I find anything. Thanks for reporting this and thanks for the words of encouragement! It’s been a busy quarter for us :sweat_smile:.

So it’s still the same issue as the previous post regarding the HTTP requests.

The big question now would be to find out why FBOS decided to send so many sync messages.

Something I still haven’t been able to figure out also. Coming from my end with the school district, everything had been fine for about 2.5 years and then all of a sudden this issue popped up. I know we spoke about the possibility that the district network could be causing the HTTP request spam but I’ve been ghosted on a reply :frowning_face: Hopefully the school site IT lead can make a follow-up inquiry and get a reply.

keep me posted Rick and most welcome you guys! The fact you launched that update on December 31st is a testament to the dedication and commitment of progress from the FarmBot Team and all its contributors!
