I followed terrific the write up by Frank Collingwood at the FB Phrozen Transform group and have NanoDLP running on the Transform - it's doing the first print right now and looking forward to the results.
The problem is if I try to generate a calibration plate, the Plates screen says "! The plate is not sliced yet" and I see an error at the bottom of the screen saying:
Could Not Write to JSON File public/plates/3/plate.json open public/plates/3/plate.json: no such file or directory in the module JSON according to the logs.
I tried with both Armbian Buster as well as Armbian Focal. I'm using the suggested username by Frank and his script "pi"
Is this a permissions issue or a bug? Top right corner on the NanoDLP webpage says "Phrozen Transform - Build 4264"

It seems folder not created due to permission error. Usually nanodlp require root access eventhough it is possible to run it with lower privilege.
SSH into device and use mkdir and ls -l commands to inspect folders permission.

Thanks for the reply - Here's what I get for ls -l if logged in as the pi user (which is what the FB setup script sets up):

The permissions for directory plates/0 and plates/2 are set for root, it seems but "plates" itself is set for pi user - how would I fix this so NanoDLP will write to this dir?
Offline
chown will be enough but it should be set to a user which run nanodlp.
Could you let me know how nanodlp being run?
Offline
I think the script has nanodlp running as user pi. Looking at the setup script, it's being installed in /home/pi/printer

I didn't change any permissions yet but just imported an stl and it immediately started slicing and didn't complain about the directory. While it is slicing the stl, I tried generating another plate and it gives the same error.

Edit: now the stl plate is saying "This plate is corrupt." so I guess the problem is still there?

I just re-imaged the sd card and started again from fresh - same problem.
If I check the directories, it all seems to be ok for user pi:
phrozen-transform:printer:# ls -l public

--- and ls-l of the public/plates folder:
drwxrwxr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Jan 15 09:04 plates
also, after uploading a .zip sliced file, NanoDLP generates a plate no problem but interestingly the plates are user **root**:
phrozen-transform:plates:# ls -l
total 72
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 25 00:55 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 69632 Jan 25 00:56 1
I'm not sure that plate "0" is: it just has 7 png files named 1.png-1.png, no json file. Plate "1" is the newly imported file that it literally printing right now.
When I generate the calibration, it throws the "could not write" error. Here's what the log shows:
Error 6 2021-01-25 01:09:19.620277 JSON Could Not Write to JSON File public/plates/2/plate.json open public/plates/2/plate.json: no such file or directory
Error 6 2021-01-25 01:09:19.619769 JSON Could Not Write to JSON File public/plates/2/plate.json open public/plates/2/plate.json: no such file or directory
Is the JSON module needing a different permission? Is the slicer also affected?

Send me an email lets do anydesk, it is very small issue, probably installation script could not handle an edge case on your system.

@ConsummatePro I've just gotten a Phrozen Transform as well, and would really like to get an open version of NanoDLP running. Very glad that you have tried!! Heartening to hear that there is some progress even when there are still issues. I'll let you know how I get along.

I've gotten the Transform working amazingly well with nanoDLP - with Shahin's and Frank Collingwood's (on the FB Transform group) help, almost all features are now working properly including large sliced files, a way to get a 5" Nextion display working (sadly, we can't use the Transform's display), etc. You can find posts and how-to's at:

@conummatePro I managed to follow your settings along with Franks but now the only thing I can't for the love of printing make the Mono LCD turn on. I've done test prints and they all go according to the settings but the LCD won't turn on the images. Very little info that I can get and I"m still looking around how do I get the Mono LCD that we got from Grace to turn on. Could you shine some light when you get a chance. Thank you!
