I've been using plain old 5d since I began printing back in january, but figured it was time to move to some new firmware. trying out teacup and sprinter. Sprinter is easier to set up and get working, all except the Gen6 heater and thermistor. when in repsnapper, i click "turn on heater" but the led on the board doesn't turn on. I also don't get any temp readings. I thought it was repsnapper, so i installed pronterface (why not printerface? much better name, imo. copyrighted?) and at least i get temp readings, but when i try to get the heater running it still won't turn on any suggestions? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,92597#msg-92597 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:44:28 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,94231#msg-94231 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,94231#msg-94231
ah well. case closed, human error again...]]> Buback Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:05:20 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,92735#msg-92735 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,92735#msg-92735
I'm reasonably sure it's not the jumper pins, since it works with 5D (and now with teacup, which i've installed in the meantime).

Just so I'm clear, the jumper pinout silkscreen on the board says 1- temp 2- temp 3- heat 4- heat. i have a wire connected to 1, to the thermistor and back to 2, and a wire connected to 3, to the resistor in the heater block, and back to 4.

I question my ability to wire electronics correctly, since others have gotten sprinter to work, but I'm hoping that isn't the issue.]]> Buback Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future Tue, 02 Aug 2011 16:00:18 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,92664#msg-92664 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,92664#msg-92664 VDX Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future Tue, 02 Aug 2011 02:01:47 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,92597#msg-92597 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?147,92597,92597#msg-92597
