Motherboard Testing

Hello All,

I am building a Mendel with Gen.3 electronics. Recently I finished installing the microcontroller firmware as instructed on this page. Then I took to testing it as per this page. It says set CommDebug to true but when I open the window it is already set to true.Having done that I only get one line (i.e. the first line) from the expected result and the numbers are slightly off as well:

comms: G-code: M105 dequeued and sent [0.002s/-1259516051264ms]
comms: GCodeWriter.waitForOK() - temperature reading: T:0 [0.017s/15ms]
comms: GCode acknowledged with message: ok EB [0.017s/0ms]
comms: G-code: M105 dequeued and sent [1.519s/1502ms]
comms: GCodeWriter.waitForOK() - temperature reading: T:0 [1.537s/18ms]
comms: GCode acknowledged with message: ok EB [1.537s/0ms]

Also, it does not scroll continuously!

What could be the reason for this?

P.S. I uploaded the configuration.h file

P.P.S. I am using the Makerbot version of electronics!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Problem lied with the jumper.
Once I took it out everything seemed to work fine.

Hi,

Which jumper was causing you the problem? I am struggling to debug my controller board as well, although my symptoms seem to be different to yours. (When I run Reprap I see in the command window that it is failing to initialise the Arduino)

thanks

Bob
