Sanguino into Arduino (2 replies)

Bill_of_the_North — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 14:57:27 -0500

I am trying to resurrect a Mendel 90 and get the latest Marlin from nophead on it. I cannot find a way to get 'Sanguino' to appear in the Boards menu. I have managed to 'burn a boot loader' using a utility from TH3D but beyond that I can't find Sanguino or Melzi 1284p anywhere !

What am I missing or better yet how do I get it ?

Thnx in advance

Using Pin 29 on a Creality v1.1.4 Melzi Board... (1 reply)

R23D — Thu, 04 Mar 2021 10:20:44 -0500

Hi,
I hope this is the best part of the forum in which to ask this. I could not decide. I want to use Pin 29 rather than the usual Pin 27 to install a BLTouch style probe ono a machine with a Creality v1.1.4 melzi board. I just want to double check that a don't have to make any other changes in any part of the Marlin firmware to make Pin 29 active rather than Pin 27 other than to write #define SERVO0_PIN 29 into the Marlin config.h file. The reason I ask is because, my probe does its little self test upon boot-up, the led turns on and the probe pin deploys and retracts twice but then it will not respond to any commands from the Marlin BLTouch menu and doesn't deploy the probe pin when sent g28 homing commands either and I have to switch off to avoid a nasty crash. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Oh, I should probably also add that the probe appears to be working 100% perfectly when attached to Pin 27. Hence my confusion...

Uploading marlin via Arduino as ISP in platformio (no replies)

Dust — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 12:04:22 -0400

Just documenting this here.

If you want to upload to a Sanguino(lolu) or Melzi directly from platformio, without using a bootloader

Firstly setup a arduino board as a ArduinoISP as documented here [www.arduino.cc]
Wire this to the ISP port of your controller.

Now edit your platformio.ini file.

Set default_envs = melzi

In the [env:melzi] section

comment out upload_speed = 57600 with a #

add the following lines. (settings from [docs.platformio.org])

upload_protocol = stk500v1
upload_flags =
    -P$UPLOAD_PORT
    -b$UPLOAD_SPEED

; edit these lines
upload_port = SERIAL_PORT_HERE
upload_speed = 19200       #this is the default in the arduino as isp sketch.

Then you need to "Upload using Programmer"
eg use

Height of printed part is short +(Is it possible to supply a 20a current to the board without the heating bed? ) (2 replies)

booboo4641 — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 21:13:44 -0500

hi everyone

I made this 3d printer myself.(https://www.instructables.com/id/Cherry-60-3D-Printer/)
I used the ender3/ender5 board (used) to make it work.
Currently, I used nema17 motor on x and y axis and 28Byj-48 motor on z axis
but, when printed (xyz 20mm cube), the printed one is much lower.
However, the Stepps/mm has been modified to 4000 but still does not function as it is in the on-going firmware.

I also use the 12v 2.5a adapter temporarily now, but it is often turned off, so I have to change it.
So I want to buy a power supply over 12v 20a for most printers. However, since most of the current is used in heating beds, we are concerned that it is OK to use without heating beds.

Please help me solve these problems.
(The sentence may be strange because the translator was used.)

Bed thermistor failure. Negative temperature readout (please help) (7 replies)

TBK2020 — Wed, 25 Dec 2019 02:53:30 -0500

Hi all, first time poster here and very inexperienced with software and configuring it.

I have a very old Mendel with a Melzi 1.0 board (original from 2013)

The other day the bed thermistor failed and the bed did not heat. That's understandable.
I replaced the thermistor with another of the same type. The temperature is reading about -19C. The thermistor checks out at about 100k ohms.
I swapped the bed and hot end thermistors but the problem is still there.
The bed thermistor does detect changes in temperature but because its reading 30 lower than ambient temp it's preventing the bed from heating up.
Any ideas what's going on? What can be done to fix it?
Any help is appreciated as it's stopping me from completing a very important project

How to install a bootloader on a Sanguinololu 1.3a with 1284P in 2019+ (18 replies)

ChristianKxng — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 23:41:00 -0400

Hi,

I am trying to install a bootloader on my Sanguinololu 1.3a board (with new ATmega1284P) since days!

Here are my previous attempts:

Arduino IDE 0022 with Sanguino-0023r4 bootloader
Arduino IDE 0023 with jmgiacalone/sanguino1284p bootloader
Arduino IDE 1.01 with Sanguino-0101r1 Bootloader
Arduino IDE 1.01 with Lauszus/Sanguino Bootloader
Arduino IDE 1.01 with Gen7 Arduino IDE Support 2.1 Bootloader
Arduino IDE 1.01 with maniacbug/mighty-1284p Bootloader
Arduino IDE 1.8.7 (TH3DUF_R2) with there integrated Sanguino 1284p Bootloader
Arduino IDE 1.8.10 with Lauszus/Sanguino Bootloader
Arduino IDE 1.8.10 with maniacbug/mighty-1284p Bootloader
aso.

I tried several Fuse-Settings, like '0xD6 LFuse, 0xDA HFuse & 0xFD EFuse' or '0xD7 LFuse, 0xDC HFuse & 0xFD EFuse' or '0xFF LFuse, 0xDE HFuse & 0xFD EFuse' or '0xFF LFuse, 0xDA HFuse & 0xFF EFuse' ...and several programmers as well 'stk500v1', 'stk500v2', 'Arduino', ...

BTW: I use an Arduino Uni as ISP, and i have used it successfully before with several creality boards. Wired this way...

Arduino_ISP_wires.jpg

Target = Sanguinololu 1.3a ICSP in this case and...

500px-SDSL_reset.jpg

The auto reset jumper was set! :-)

Recently, I tried the following... [youtu.be] (a horrible video, but without a 16Mhz resonator)

And yet so far no success!

My last try will be the tutorial 'Burning the Sanguino Bootloader using Arduino as ISP' from RepRap. But as I said before I am (still) missing a 16Mhz resonator.

First I got an error like 'ATmega1284p expected' from time to time, but now it just comes:

Yikes! Invalid device signature. 0x000000

Melzi 2.0 with Marlin 1.1.9 endstops are not working (7 replies)

vinibali — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 05:50:06 -0500

Hello there!

I have a Trony P802 which was working fine with the factory shipped Reprap 0.91 and with Marlin 1.1.9 which was compiled and uploaded by me.
Both versions worked fine, until I made some changes in the source files, recompiled it and unfortunately I uploaded the wrong binary without the bootloader.
After that, I successfully reuploaded the working binary with the bootloader, but the endstops - at least on the y axis - has stopped working, autohome fails and the servo motor just tries to move the heatbed after it reached the top end.
I found that part on the wiki page: X axis only moves in one direction and/or Endstops do not work.
I have the latest Sanguino version (1.0.3) in the Arduino builder files, so the fuse settings had to be correct from the beginning, right? I'm asking, because after I reuploaded the binary, I had to also change the fuse setting with avrdude, because - maybe - all of them were FF. But this didn't had any effect at all.
I'm afraid for some reason the controller doesn't applies the written changes, can the bootloader overwrites it?
I also had a try with the full working Reprap dump (created with avrdude), but no luck.
I also had couple of other ideas, like uploading the bootloader with ISP and upload the whole firmware on USB an so on...

[user@comp]: /media/ramdisk>$ sudo avrdude -c usbasp -p m1284p

Melzi 2.0 connectivity issues (2 replies)

HyraxAttax — Sat, 22 Jun 2019 20:11:41 -0400

Last week the heat bed of my Reprappro Huxley shorted the power wires, which caused the power adapter to shut off immediately. After screwing down the wires again, I plugged everything back in and got an "unrecognized USB device descriptor" message from Windows. The hotend fan turns on, and the cooling fans twitch, so it appears something is working. I switched the Melzi board to USB power, and tried re-uploading the firmware, which worked. I switched back to external power, but still got the same results. I checked the voltage regulator, and it's sending 4.93v to the ATMEGA1284P like it's supposed to.

I switched the board back to USB and plugged it in, and Windows was able to recognize the device. I can even connect to it in Pronterface, get a response from M503, and the thermistors are returning the correct values.

I can't figure out what's going on here. I set the power jumper to USB, it's recognized. Switch it so that the 19v adapter is sending 5v through the voltage regulator, it's not. I've looked at the board schematics. 5v is being directed through the jumper either way.

BLTouch not working on Anet A8 (5 replies)

lukaspanic — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 16:33:31 -0500

Hi everyone,

I have installed a BLTouch bed probe on my Anet A8 running Marlin 1.1.9. When I either "Auto Home" or "Level Bed" X and Y are homed correctly. Then the Z axis moves up slightly (10mm) and the BLTouch extends and retracts once. With the BLTouch now retracted the Z axis moves down until the nozzle crashes into the table.
What did I configure wrong?

Additional Info:
When starting the printer the probe does it's two extend/retract cycles and then lights up red (constant, not blinking). I assume that means it's happy.
I had to disable the SD card in Marlin because the motherboard did not have enough memory for the code. I am running files through USB. Homing etc still happens through the LCD.

LCD Display probleme after upgrading firmware (3 replies)

jiefel — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 08:56:11 -0400

Hello,

I bought a CXY card, and all worked great, but after a firmware update MARLIN, I ended up with a display as we see on the attached image, I tested different firmware and I always have the same result and I can not find any solution. Every two seconds there is a refresh but it's never correct.

Is a display speed problem? I do not know where to find.

Sanguinololu 1.3a, Marlin 1.1.9 (11 replies)

MKSA — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 23:39:19 -0400

Early this year, under Arduino 1.8.6 I managed to compile, upload, run Marlin 1.1.8 on this old board.

Today, I wanted to give a try to 1.1.9 the last and final 8 bits Marlin. Using the same env., compilation of 1.1.9 it fails with this error:

Arduino: 1.8.6 Hourly Build 2018/01/03 03:33 (Windows 7), Board: "Sanguino, ATmega1284 or ATmega1284P (16 MHz)"

...
pins_RAMPS.h:48: error: #error "Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu."

#error "Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu."

^

exit status 1
#error "Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu."

Compilation of 1.1.8 in the same env, still works.
Had a quick look on the Marlin site but couldn't determine if this old board is still OK for 1.1.9.

Note I am not really using this board anymore, I use Smoothie but wanted to see the difference between the two controller/firmware on the same 3D printer. This helps distinguish issues due to the mechanic of the printer and the controller/firmware.

NozzleMover — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 15:10:51 -0400

Hello everybody!
Let’s give it a quick introduction: I am owner of an orcabot 0.43 since some weeks now. I made it work and print and also started modding it.
Now I am at the point where I want to change some firmware settings. Unfortunately Igor the printer just as it is, no sifteare,, no docu and no one to ask. I did not find a single picture that matches my Bord. I guess it is a gen 6 electronic of some kind.
Is there any intelligence out there to tell me

What board that is
If Marlin 1.1.8 will run on it
What sanguino settings I need to choose in Arduino software for flashing

I thing I red something about backup. I will of course try that because the printer is working with whatever firmware is on it now.

Enclosed is a picture of the board. Thanks for any ideas on that thing.

Melzi - Heated bed is being powered via the USB cable (2 replies)

remondo — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 10:27:38 -0400

I've been using a Melzi (v1 I believe, with an Atmega644A) on my Mendel90 for several years now with Jumper 15 set to USB. It has suddenly dawned on me that I should be powering the Melzi from the PSU so I set the Jumper to VREG (the pins closest to the screw terminals) and tried heating the bed. It seemed to take a while so I checked the voltage at the terminal and it read 6.53V. It was at this point that I touched the USB cable and found it was very hot. Why is the heated bed being powered via the USB cable?

The extruder heats up using the PSU power regardless of whether JP15 is set to USB or VREG.

Could it be that my Melzi is a clone? I'd be pretty disappointed if it is because it came with a Prusa i2 kit from a reputable seller (RepRapKitStore) many years ago.

MELZI Signals query (1 reply)

Supermec — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 18:29:46 -0400

Hi all, hope I have picked the correct section.

I have an Anet A8 with the original control board, which is a variation on the circuit of the Melzi 2 board. The picture attached shows the control circuitry for the print cooling fan, which is identical to that for the hotbed and hotend. What I don't understand is that the control signal for the fan is shown as FAN (NOT_FAN). Similarly the respective signals for the bed and extruder are shown as HOTBED and HOTEND. The signals are also marked in the same manner on the respective pins of the ATMega1284P.

The mosfets shown are N-channel enhanced mode, which requires that the gate voltage is higher than the source voltage before the mosfet will turn on. One of the output connections remains constantly at Vmot (12V). The other output connection is at Vmot when the mosfet is turned OFF and at 0V (GND) when the mosfet is turned ON. Thus the mosfet must be turned ON before there is a potential difference applied at the output.

A gate voltage of +5V will turn the mosfet, and therefore the Fan, Bed or Extruder on, so why is the signal described on the circuit diagram as FAN (NOT_FAN).

Hello

I've been using a Sanguinololu on a prusa mendel i2 since mid 2012 with excellent results. I was interested in upgrading to a dual extruder. I found the "SLUM" project but not any of the hardware for sale. Is there something (aside from replacing the board) that people are doing to upgrade to dual extruder from this board?

Questions about component choice (5 replies)

spaceorange12 — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 11:03:33 -0500

So I decided to take the first step in building a Sanguinololu and ordered all of the specialized parts off of Mouser last night. Today I went to RadioShack to find the components that I thought were more common. Unfortunately, they did not have many of the exact parts listed on the BOM.
First off, there were only 3 tantalum capacitors in the entire store, and none of them had a proper uF spec. So I bought some ceramic ones with the correct uF as backup. I am wondering if it would be appropriate to substitute the ceramics for the tantalums.
Second, there was only one type of MOSFET, so I bought two, again as backup. The manufacturer part # is L7812CV (Datasheet). As with the capacitors, I am hoping that these will be suitable replacements.
Hopefully someone with a bit more electronics knowledge will be able to guide me.

Sanguinololu power problem (18 replies)

Ebdac — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 12:33:19 -0400

Hello,
I have a problem with my Sanguinololu 1.3a based printer. It seems to not take power from the power supply for some reason. It takes power from usb just fine and everything lights up but as soon as I plug in the power supply everything goes dark and nothing works. I wanted to reroute the power to make it go through wires instead of the board pathways (I suspect conductivity problems on the board), but I have no clue how to do that correctly and which pins to connect with each other.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause of the problem, or have any other ideas how I can fix this?

Power supply is working correctly.

Sanguinololu Rev 1.3a - how to load firmware (23 replies)

Dam — Wed, 24 May 2017 18:59:11 -0400

Hi all,

I just got a new Sanguinololu Rev 1.3a board for my old Huxley printer. (the old one was broken)

From what I understand I need to load the firmware and possibly a bootloader? I don't know anything about this kind of thing so I am completely in the dark. From what I understand if windows doesn't recognize the board then that means that there isn't a bootloader and I need some sort of programmer.

Though I hope some sort of luck is on my side as windows recognizes the board and is in the device manager as a comp-port. I have installed the FTDI driver too.

I assume now I need to use Arduino.exe to load the firmware (as far as I know that is Marlin) that I have downloaded from Github. Arduino.exe didn't have the board in the board manager but managed to install the Singuino settings and now I can see the board. Though I don't know if I am supposed to choose 8MHz or 16MHz?

From here I am completely stuck. From what I can see I must drag the Marlin directory/files into the Arduino program and then there are things that need to be changed to make it work with a Huxley? I have no idea if this is right and if it is, what needs to be changed or what to do next. I hope I don't have to do the bootloader as then I have to get some sort of programmer thing to burn it? Though this is just from a bunch of reading and I don't really know what I am doing. I just don't want to break anything. :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.

Much thanks.

Sanguinololu 1.3a Huxley connection problem (13 replies)

Hi all,

I posted this in the Huxley section but figured it should maybe be in the Sanguinololu section. I apologize if I shouldn't do that.

I recently was given a Huxley 3d printer - the one from the original kickstarter.

I am trying to connect it to the computer. But windows simply does not pick it up. It doesn't recognize that anything is connected via the USB. The red light does come on, on the Sanguinololu 1.3a board.

I really don't know what I am doing to be honest, but I assume that there is probably something wrong with the board? I have tried to install all the drivers that I can find but no luck.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Damian

Sanguinololu with at1284p (3 replies)

joaoabs — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 01:58:52 -0400

Hello,

I'm struggling with this one for a couple of days, and decided to come here and ask for some tips...

I'm trying to upload a Marlin firmware to a sanguinololu but without success...

I'm working with both a raspberry PI3 (arduino for ARM) and a normal PC with Linux LXLE (64-bit Ubuntu based) and the results are the same. I've also tried different AT1284p chips, just to cover the remote possibility that the new one is damaged.

What I've done so far:

Bought new AT1284p chip
Installed it in the sanguinololu board
With the great tips from [dustsreprap.blogspot.pt] I was able to install sanguino in the arduino IDE 1.6.9 (actually based on [github.com])
With an arduino UNO acting as ISP, burned the bootloader to the AT1284p
To test it, uploaded an example sketch (examples/communications/ASCII table) with the "normal" programer - AVRISP mkll. Everything goes fine.
Success, with the Serial Monitor I can see the ascii table "arriving"
Then, with the exact same board options, I compile and try to upload the Marlin Firmware to it, and it gets stuck between 4% and 40%. The most common error is "avrdude: stk500_paged_write(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x62"

What can I be doing wrong??

Thanks, Joao Silva

`.text' will not fit in region `text' during compile of firmware (1 reply)

graybeardtx — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 15:12:20 -0400

I am trying to write the bootloader and firmware to the Sanguino controller board on my reprap printer. I got an SD card with the package that supposedly had all the software for the system. After many false starts, I think I am on the right track but unable to reach the finish line. There are two tracks I have tried:
1. Assume that the hex file included in the firmware directory of the SD card is actually the combined bootloader and firmware saved as a hex file. I am trying to contact the manufacturer to verify this assumption. The first phase of the "burn bootloader" process is successful. The second step, actually uploading the hex data to flash memory goes through the write stage but hangs part way into the read stage where it is trying too verify the written data to the source data. Maybe the assumption is wrong but does this description pique any memories?

2. The firmware on the original board I am replacing was based on the Repetier firmware. I used the Repetier Firmware Configurator to build a new firmware profile using what I remember from the original. It compiles OK but when trying to upload, it generates a stack overflow in the text region. Full text of the error:
Arduino: 1.6.9 (Windows XP), Board: "Sanguino, ATmega1284 or ATmega1284P (16 MHz)"

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

exit status 1

Any ideas on how I can get around this?

Need AVRDUDE guru/bootloader help (1 reply)

graybeardtx — Thu, 09 Jun 2016 13:24:06 -0400

So here is the situation. I am using an Arduino UNO (Actually and OSEPP Uno R3 Plus) as an ISP programmer.
The target board is a Melzi V3 Ebay upgrade to an ATmega1284P chip.
Running the ATmega_Board_Detector sketch from Nick Gammon I can query the chip and get all the information about the chip and the bootloader from that sketch (See attached file Board_Detected.txt).
When I run the ATmega_Board_Programmer sketch however, the sketch fails Because something is not defined. I am not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination so I don't know what this means or how to track it down.(See the attached file ProgrammerError.txt)
If I run the programmer from the command line, I get an error about an invalid signature and the program exits.Even if I use the -F to force skipping the verification step, the program exist aftere setting everything into safe mode. (See attache file (CommandLine.txt)

So since the Gammon Sketch was able to read the board signature, I'm guessing that something is missing in the command line but I have no idea what nor how to find out other than ask for help from the gurus on these forums.

1284P Fuse settings confirmation? (7 replies)

ipper — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 01:58:35 -0400

Hey all, trying to get my repstrap up and running (Sanguinololu w/ a 1284p). I'm seeing different fuse settings depending on where I look.
Currently I'm set to (l,h,e) D6,DA,FD. But I've also seen DC,D7,FD mentioned.

So I figured I'd ask what the community thinks? Do I need a big boot flash? And what Oscillator/Startup/Power settings should I use?

Melzi lost USB connection (2 replies)

MCcarman — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 15:03:22 -0400

Hi all.
During printing the other day I had my Prusa clone jamb to the extent that it tripped the house mains supply.
On powering up again every thing works except there is no communication via USB. My Laptop doesn't respond (no comport recognition). I have changed the cable. Checked the Laptop is OK by using my other machine.
I have control of the printer via the LCD controls and can print from SD.
Its a Melzi V2.0 board running repetier firmware. Any ideas where it is broken? and how to fix?
I can't find any reference to this failure on the web. I think there is only the connector, TTL (is that the protocol ?) chip and a couple of capacitors before it goes into the processor.
If its the chip can I buy a USB to TTL lead and solder it in place of the on board chip?
Tonight i will check if the processor powers up when the jumper is set to USB 5V to see if the 5V is there. My probes on my MM are a bit to big to measure it off the connector and board.

Help with Firmware upload (3 replies)

Mellin — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 00:56:34 -0500

Hi!

I have a problem with my Sanguinololu 1.3a

I recently wanted to upload to it Marlin firmware, because I had to install new ATMEGA1284P-PU microcontroller, but in Arduino 0023 I keep getting "avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00" error after trying to upload.

I tried ways described in [reprap.org] article:
I tried that 10 seconds reset holding.
I already had those 2-pin connected before.
I can see USB Serial Port (COM3) under Ports (COM and LPT).
I have RTS on close checked.

Anyone have any suggestion on what I am doing wrong?
