Report a bug or a machine

How to report a problem, and how to tell us your machine worked, so others can find out.

Lilo is open source. Problems and machine reports go to the Lilo project on GitHub (github.com/Kadwood/lilo, Issues). There are two forms.

Report a bug#

Choose Bug report and fill in:

  1. What happened. Say what you did, what you expected and what you got.
  2. Your system. Mac, Windows or Linux, and the Lilo version. The version is in Lilo Link, Settings.
  3. A project file. If you can, attach the .lilo file. It lets us see the design.
  4. Logs. For a send problem, copy the text from Lilo Link, Logs.

A screenshot helps a lot.

Report a machine#

Choose Machine report to tell us how Lilo worked with your machine. We list machines as tested only after a real sew-out. Your report moves a machine from "should work" to "works". Fill in:

  • The brand and model.
  • Whether the Wi-Fi scan found it.
  • Whether Send worked.
  • Whether the design sewed.
  • Any error code you saw. Read Wi-Fi troubleshooting.
