Anyone using a Palette 2 and Canvas on a Sailfish machine such as the Creator Pro?  Trying to help someone out who is getting the below error.
Also here is the code snipit where the error occurs.  Line 5 ...

That's not gcode being fed to GPX. So no surprise that it coughs up
error messages. Gcode has "G" commands (hence the name) and "M"
commands as well. But there's no "D" commands. And those numbers
starting in col 1 are another extension. Net, net, this may be gcode
embedded in, or prefixed by some other format. But it's not something
which can be fed as-is to either GPX or likely any Gcode-based 3D printer.

My guess: some pre-processing step has been missed. And yes, folks do
use Palettes with Sailfish. (Jetguy for example.)

Thanks Dan,

Pretty much figured it was as you say but I have no practical experience with the Palette, considering getting one though.

I figured the "D" stuff was something specific to the unit.
