Heater Problems w/Repetier Firmware on RAMPS 1.4

I am trying to get my Rostock Mini up on Repetier firmware 0.83 and am having no luck getting the hot end, heated bed and extruder to work. The thermistors appear to work just fine, I am getting good temperature readings back in Repetier Host but when I tell it to heat up the hot end or heated bed nothing happens. I checked through pins.h and believe that I have everything set correctly, what else could I possibly be missing?

On the positive side, everything else appears to be working well, it was easy to configure and calibrate stage motion

So after manually configuring Repetier firmware to work with my G3D LCD I have found that there is nothing wrong with my configuration, I can control the hotend and hotbed from the controller. However I cannot control them from Repetier-Host on my Macbook Pro, I'm running the latest version of the host software available for OSX 0.56. I have a windows netbook that I also have Repetier instaled on and will try connecting that tomorrow to see if the resuls are the same.

I was able to connect and control the hotend and hotbed with Repetier-host on my windows netbook. Not sure why the OSX version won't control them, is anyone else experiancing this issue?

Hello Labmat,

you found the problem with hotend?
I have the same problem on Ramps 1.4 with Firmware 0.83

First the hotend heat correct and later after the good temp come the massage

"Printer set into dry mode....) :-(

Somebody now what is wrong?

On Marlin Firmware all running

Oliver

Hello Oliver,

What I found was a problem with the interaction between Repetier Firmware and Repetier Host on OS X, If I connect a Windows netbook with Repetier Host for Windows the problem does not occur. I have not heard from anyone else to see if I am an isolated case or if others are experiancing the same thing.

I am unfortunately not familiar with the error you are experiancing.

I'm using Repetier-Host Mac 0.56 and Repetier-Firmware 0.90alpha (also tested Version 0.83) and RAMPS 1.4 with success.

Configuring Repetier-Firmware you should pay attention to EEPROM_MODE. You should change EEPROM_MODE (e.g. from 1 to 2, from 2 to 1 or from 2 to 3 ...) every time you upload the firmware otherwise your changes aren't store into the EEPROM and the Firmware uses the EEPROM values.

@kkpmo

Check Configuration.h:
MIN_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE -10
MAX_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE 300

You see "Printer set into dry run mode until restart!" if the current sensor temp < MIN_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE or > MAX_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE.

Hallo Flurin and Labmat,

thanks for fast answer.
I found the problem by me, i change atx powersupply to a other and all works now.

Thanks

Oliver
