Issue with FluidNC configuration parsing when connecting about universal-g-code-sender HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the report.

UGS uses a YAML library for reading the config file, which will fail due to the nested : that is not allowed in YAML. If you open the file through the file browser in https://installer.fluidnc.com/ you will see this error:

To solve this you should be able to simply wrap the text with " like this:

board: MKS TinyBee V1.0_001
name: CNC Router XYYZA 0-10V spindle and laser
meta: "(01.02.2022) by Skorpiboard: MKS TinyBee V1.0_001"
...

However these gets stripped when retrieving the config file through the command $Config/Dump and will still fail in UGS.

I will try to add a better error message in UGS to notify the user about the problem, and see if I can fix the $Config/Dump command in FluidNC.

In the meantime, you can edit the config and replace the meta text with just:

meta: (01.02.2022) by Skorpi

Thanks for working this for everyone (mainly me). I'll fix my YAML to omit the embedded ":". Another thought would be to strip out the board, name, and meta keys from the string before passing to the YAML parser, assuming those keys aren't actually used by UGS. I greatly appreciate the support.
