Sanguinololu Problems
June 12, 2014 04:31PM
Prusa i2 w/Sanguinololu 1.3a and 12v 30A PSU(not ATX)
Using Sprinter firmware
So I've done all the calibrations and everything works great... except the heatbed. I've been trying for about a week now to get the bed working but after looking around it seems that the Sanguinololu has serious problems delivering the amount of current necessary to power the heatbed (various reports of connectors melting and traces burning). At this point I'm ready to give up on the heatbed and go without it.

I've tried disconnecting the bed and thermistor and setting the expected temp to 0 so the bed is always ready, but that didn't work. Sprinter appears to require bed to heat before hotend so I am unable to print until bed problem is fixed.
Does anyone know how to disable the heatbed or alternatively fix the short comings of the Sanguinololu?
