Once again I have a problem. I am using the Live CD 0.6 and have gotten the program to connect to the arduino. Using the single arduino generation two electronics, I can use the software program to control my extruder motor. It still will not turn my stepper motors. They will turn when running and extruder excersiser. The dir and step pins are wired to the arduino, ground to the arduino ground, and sync of my x and y (both slaves) are both wired into the z sync (z is the master board). I think the problem may be with some of the preferences in the host software, but I know nothing of how it works, and even less about the preferences. Thank You for your help. -Jajo https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19494#msg-19494 Sat, 16 May 2026 13:51:12 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19516#msg-19516 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19516#msg-19516 nophead RepRap Host Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:45:59 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19513#msg-19513 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19513#msg-19513 jajo RepRap Host Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:14:17 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19499#msg-19499 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19499#msg-19499
This issue seems to be a hot topic lately! There is some real good info out there. This [forums.reprap.org] has helped me more than most. Different OS but with it being the same issue...may be cross platform. I'm playing PM tag with Leav at the moment and hope to have more info later in the week.

It also may have something to do with the pin assignments. If I understand correctly, your X and Y axis are being controlled from the Z sync? If that is correct, then I'm not gonna be much help. I made all of my axis masters and wired them to the associated pins on the Arduino. I think others who have done the same have had little issue.

As a side: Once I get my machine up and running, I'm considering compling the effort into a FAQ/Build/Troubleshooting guide. It'll most likely be McWire specific at first and then Darwin (once I get it built) Finding stuff on the Wiki and on the forums can be tough. If anyone else has already started one of these lemme know!]]> Rick RepRap Host Mon, 15 Dec 2008 11:53:26 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19494#msg-19494 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,19494,19494#msg-19494
