Hello all, I am a student in mechanical engineering (mechanical design and production engineering), I can not understand how the Arduino board understands the G-Code when we use it for a RepRap, how it can be able to output (HIGH) and (LOW) to a specific pin that we need to send the command (HIGH\LOW) to ,, note: I am a beginner in RepRap and 3D printing and I don't know much things about this technology, also I am just in 1st year in my college.

This HIGH/LOW-functionality is the core function of any controller - it's simply setting an output pin (selected by numbers) to the specified voltage level ... for higher currents, than the controller pins can drive, transistors or MOSFET's are used as subsequent current drivers ...]]> VDX Controllers Mon, 20 Oct 2014 03:18:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422948#msg-422948 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422948#msg-422948 I am a student in mechanical engineering (mechanical design and production engineering),

G-code is higher level, it deals with moving the machine in milimeters rather than flipping pins and counting steps.]]> Andrew Smith Controllers Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:50:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422887#msg-422887 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422887#msg-422887 waseem salem el-mofty Controllers Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:41:15 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422882#msg-422882 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422882#msg-422882 I have a question, in all of a G-Code lines, I can not found any command that tells the Arduino that the x axis is for the pin (...), y for pin (..), z for (...),
so .... how the arduino know that it must move the stepper motor (or send a specific pulse) to a specific pin to move the extruder to the specific (x,y,z) location ....
this is the point that I can not understand it, and I can not know about any searching word I have to google it to get information about my question ...
and for a second time, I am sorry for my not good English language !]]> waseem salem el-mofty Controllers Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:37:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422082#msg-422082 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,422082#msg-422082 [gcode.ws]

Read the marlin code.
Its all about code. If you speak code, it will be all easy to understand.

As i dont speak code. I dont understand.

I know objects are sliced into layers. These layers are given a X.Y.Z coordinate.
The arduino tell the ramps to move the stepper motor until they reach these coordinates.
Then the electronics comands plastic to extrude.

This happens layer by layer until you have an object.

It uses the processor of the arduino.
The shoots commands out of the many pins from the processor.

All these electronics amd pinouts are open-source.
Google them and look at the specs.]]> pushthatbolder Controllers Sun, 19 Oct 2014 13:42:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,421616#msg-421616 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,421616#msg-421616 You shoul really start with some basic Arduino examples.]]> Srek Controllers Sun, 19 Oct 2014 12:55:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,421599#msg-421599 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,421599,421599#msg-421599 I am a student in mechanical engineering (mechanical design and production engineering),
