Hi
I've run into a problem with the autorouter. I'm using a local installation of the autorouter (running on Ubuntu 18.04) and when running the autorouter in local mode it appears to be hanging. However, when I look at the autorouter log file, I can see that it stops as soon as it starts, writing only the following messages.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-Connection established\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Start routing...
Routing
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-Connection closed\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
I don't know what has caused this, but it was working perfectly ok only a short time ago, running and completing the routes in a matter of seconds. I added a few text labels to the PCB and then it failed...removing these has not fixed the problem. I did notice earlier that it seemed to be failing if I had the Real-time Display option checked on the Auto Router Config screen, then it worked ok when this was unchecked. Maybe that is just coincidental but it might be significant in diagnosing what's going wrong here.
BTW, it times out due to lack of resources if I use the cloud option - this doesn't really shed much light on the issue because I'm guessing it could fail for different reasons and still give that message?
Has anyone else hit this problem and fixed it?
Cheers,
Mike
