Which Software for Arduino electronics
May 11, 2008 05:15AM
Hi

Is any one successfully using the Arduino set up with the standard host (ie not G code)?

If so can you advise which version of firmware and which version of host?

Also a zipped version of your preferences would be helpful.

I am at the stage of trying to print and have strange things happening which at present make no sense to me at all. I have a hybrid machine with 2000 step micro steppers which may be an issue but first I think I must make sure I am using a compatible set of software that is known to work which I can try with the settings that are known to work.

I can then change to my settings 1 step at a time to help resolve the issue.


Regards

Ian

Ian,

Any photos or drawings of what is happening on your tray?

ian,

always use the latest version of the arduino firmware. the single_arduino_snap is the recommended one to use.

i'll be releasing a new version this weekend with some minor fixes, but its certainly usable.

Hi Zach

Is this Adrians Firmware 30/04/08 Revision 1549 or yours 2/04/08 Rev 1472?

Also which Host, the latest on the trunk?


Sorry to be so pedantic but I am getting some strange behaviour which could well be my set up being a hybrid with micro stepping drives and fine screws which gives a fairly high step frequency.

Ian

if you're not comfortable with hacking around in the code, i'd recommend using the latest version of the firmware/software from sourceforge. the subversion stuff is usually stable, but not always.
