Ah, the link to the configurator in the opening post pointed to a 404 error page. Thanks for sharing! :)

ps I'm using [teamgloomy.github.io] as a 'guide' on how to install things and couldn't find a link to the configurator there.

Okay, so the configurator works quite nicely, thanks for that. I'm currently working on a DIY pen plotter (second version) and want to give RRF a try. Does anyone know of some useful resources I can use concerning RRF 3 and a pen plotter? I don't need to use thermistors for example, so the whole heating system can be omitted. Also, I only need a fan to cool the electronics/stepper drivers and probably will configure it to be quite custom.

My previous plotter runs on Marlin with an LCD and SD card, but this new plotter will use a Raspberry Pi 3B as a SBC to run the plotter over wifi without a screen. The Pi part is mostly ready, and I've already fixed everything I need firmware-wise. So it's now mostly down to configuration and getting the firmware to compile. I'm getting an error, maybe someone knows what it's about too?

Edit:
I decided to go for a pre-compiled binary. Somehow I didn't see these on the Teamgloomy website. Also didn't realize I'm replying in the 3.0 port instead of the 3.2 I'm sorry for that. Thanks for your work on the RRF3 port. I can't wait to get this running. My machine is going to make waves in the community!

I see the configurator doesn't exist anymore. I'm quite new to RRF 3 and I'm currently trying to build firmware for my SKR 1.4 which will be used for a pen plotter with SBC. Is there any place you advise me to look for tips on how to configure the firmware for my machine? I haven't been able to find good examples for my setup.

Do your heated bed wires run anywhere near the raspberry pi cable? It's probably interference from those
Best to join the discord channel as it's easier to support on there.

LCD 12864 + TFT32 v3.0.0 + MKS-SBASE v1.3 -- Linux Mint 20 + Cinnamon

Hi, is there a newer/better Thread I should be posting in? I am about done with Marlin and would like to use my old SBASE on a new CoreXY I have just finished building. I found the files I need to make the swap and it is almost working, but I am stumped.

Before starting, I tested that the Smootieware runs fine on both screens and it all works as it used to. I then followed the wikis on this awesome Fork, ran the Configuration-tool, installed the firmware.bin and started it all up. The 12864 back-light is on and nothing else. The TFT looks fine but does nothing.

I plugged in the USB and using the Arduino Console or whatever it is called, I issued M552 S1 P0.0.0.0 and got back "ok". Woo hooo, at least someone is at home. I then tried G28 and got back "homeall.g cannot be found," --huh?

I checked the sys folder and it is in there and contains the stuff below. Sooo, I feel I am getting very close. I'd like to see something on the LCD 12864 and control things with the encoder. Or, control from the TFT touch screen. Or help it find the homeall.g file.

Could I please get some help with this and thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

I made a guide on how to install RepRap firmware for Sidewinder X1. You can read it here: RepRap Firmware on Sidewinder X1: SKR 1.3/1.4

Will your settings work with TMC 2209 ?

A new thread [reprap.org] has been created for the gloomyandy variant of RRF.
From now on, please direct all queries to that thread as this one will only be used for sdavi's version.
Support for gloomyandy's version can also be obtained through discord [discord.gg]

Those changes are only in sdavi's build. Gloomyandy doesn't have access to sdavi's changes.

I am asking again, would it be possible to start new threads and move all the posts unrelated to sdavi build. This thread became so confused. Now it is dealing with hardware mods ?

well you've got something wrong somewhere are your board.txt file is not being loaded.
Can you show the contents of your sd card?

what should be the content of the sd card ?? i dont see anything as a package for old people like me and i m reading the last 3 days to get this working

thanks

Re: RepRapFirmware 3.0 port for LPC1768/9 based boards

gloomyandy — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 06:24:05 -0400

Just to be clear, it does not look like you have a problem with either the WiFi board or the SKR. However you do have a problem with the board.txt file. Either there is a problem with the content that is causing an error as it is being read, or you have it in the wrong place (it should be in the /sys folder and must be called board.txt), we can't tell because you did not post a complete directory listing of the sd card, or there is a problem with your SD card (please don't use the "free" card that comes with the SKR, they often have problems). I would start by deleting the board.txt file from the sd card and creating a new one. This wiki page [github.com] provides the basics that you will need to get started.

I'm out for the rest of the day, but someone else may be able to help. You may get more help by using the discord channels (Jay can provide a link).

i think i m going to start from the begining

what files should i have on the sd card ??

i guess i dont have to flash again the board ...the blue light blinks when connect

but from what i understand i have a problem with my board so it does nt connect through wifi but i have a serial connection somehow with pronterface

is there a package to download and put it on the card???

i would nt ask so many questions but i have a duet working fora year and i m used to the software and i want to make it work

thanks again

Also please note that there is currently no support for the 2130 SPI interface. So you will have no way of setting current etc. via software. You will also probably need to set the number of smart drivers to 0 to stop the firmware trying to talk to them via the UART interface.

ok i have the 2209s in the side to install but the communication should be ok apart of the drivers....or am i wrong???

ok the adapter is the one I got from tindie ,supposed to have the server installed but I flashed it again through the USB port with the duetserverwifi.bin and the I connected to the sky 1.4 with the exp1 and exp2 cables
when I switch the power on I see only a blue flash from the adapter board
then I try to connect through yat terminal software ...no luck
I tried pronterface and I get the m122 as above but when I type m552 I get wifi disabled if I type m552 s0 I get error -10
thats the story

now I tried to down load the latest rrf but I can't find the download link or I m so blind and I can't find the download link

the board txt file I did nt touch it

thanks for your patience

You are not running the latest RRF version, but it should still work, the current release is 3.1.1-12 (see here [github.com]). Please post the output from M122 p200. Please post a picture of your board and wifi module so we can see how you have it connected. Did your WiFi module come with firmware installed? If not have you installed the correct firmware (what version did you install and how did you install it)?
