Hello all...I am new to 3D printing and I have an issue I was hoping to get some advice on. I have recently bought a Durbie Prusa Mendel kit from Romscraj. I am using a "Gen 6.d" control board, a modified marlin firmware from here: https://github.com/romscraj/Marlin, and pronterface. I have finally got my motors moving, but the y-enstop won't stop the y motor when it is depressed. The kit uses PCB mounted mechanical endstops. The endstop has an LED on it, which is lighting up properly when depressed. When I use the M119 "enstop status" function in pronterface, however, the other two endstops will change state as expected but the y endstop will not (i.e. returns "y_min:L" whether depressed or not). I have tried the following troubleshooting: * Put y-endstop and cable in the x-endstop's plug: the endstop stopped x axis movement as expected * Put x-endstop and cable (which works correctly for the x axis) in y-endstop plug: depressing endstop would not stop y axis movement (in either direction). * I fumbled around with a multimeter on the board: Only the middle of the four posts showed continuity between them, which is the same as what I read on the two functioning endstop connections. Based on this, I can only conclude that there's either an issue with my control board (which I was not able to find w/ my limited understanding of electronics) or there's an issue with my firmware (again, which I wasn't able to recognize with my limited understanding of programming). Any advice? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,213488#msg-213488 Sat, 08 Aug 2026 12:06:01 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,273584#msg-273584 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,273584#msg-273584 Note ...this isnt updated firmware !! Its simply the firmware that works on my Gen6d on my printer. thats it

For me it works using Arduino 1.0.2 which you can grab from my shared folder
bigfils arduino folder

And my firmware is here
bigfils marlin firmware for Gen6d

Use it at your own risk and check all calibration once installed

Good luck]]> bigfilsing Firmware - mainstream and related support Thu, 28 Nov 2013 22:43:51 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,273582#msg-273582 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,273582#msg-273582 getyourcrayon16 Firmware - mainstream and related support Thu, 28 Nov 2013 22:25:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,272006#msg-272006 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,272006#msg-272006 cylee4 Firmware - mainstream and related support Mon, 25 Nov 2013 21:02:45 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,263244#msg-263244 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?146,213488,263244#msg-263244
