Hello everyone!
I have the situation like this: inside the debug app from web (debug.opulo.io) I can see the feeder in any slot from 1-49 position, but when I go to OpenPnP app I cannot find any feeder. I have deleted all the feeders and added 2 photon feeders but without any results. Attached are the log and machine.xml from OpenPnP app.

Long story
I have build a PnP machine as kinematics Core XY (inspired from Alan Designer) wich can accomodate 112 pcs of 8/12mm feeders. The mainboard is DevEBOX - STM32F4VX_M with an PCB adaptor to connect everything to it. On the board is running the Marlin 2.1.3-beta3. The adaptor PCB and the ports used to connect the peripherals is made as the rev04 of the Opulo mobo (if is required I can post the schematic). The version of OpenPnP is 2.6_2026-03-01_12-37-59.5bd404c, that is installed in windows 10 and in use with the machine. The motion of axes, cameras, lights and vaccum pumps and the vaccum sensors are running correctly.

Solution to this problem: 
Always DISABLE the "Compress G-code", because otherwise, when commands are sent to RS485, that compresion will delete the spaces and will result in a not desireable command like I had.
