Need Help printer is screaming at me
July 26, 2016 01:39AM
So I brought a prusa i3 about a month ago it was fully coded up, pretty much plug in and print.
was having trouble with it accelerating to fast and skipping teeth on the belt, after finding out about EEPROM settings, I tried to upload a new marlin code with it enabled,
After uploading the code all it does is scream.

the board is (if that matters)
[www.aliexpress.com]

Any advice would be helpful.

A mechanical type screeching like stepper motors moving far fast?

Or a piezo buzzer screaming on a lcd?

Paste your configuration.h somewhere and link it here so we can check a few things
also do a M503 and paste that somewhere (like bastebin.com) and link it here.

Your motherboard is a [www.geeetech.com] lots of info on this site

The above site also links threw to a marlin with configuration.h which lists that its compatible with motherboard 7 = Ultimaker

In your configuration.h you have

#ifndef MOTHERBOARD
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_RAMPS_14_EFB
#endif

But from the information I saw on the geeetech page you should have ultimaker controller not ramps.

Change it to

#ifndef MOTHERBOARD
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_ULTIMAKER
#endif

And give that a try

You also don’t seem to have enabled any lcd's in the configuration.h
What sort of LCD do you have?

Thank you so much the buzzer no longer screams.

The LCD is yb2004d that has the spin knob

The LCD sounds like a normal 20 char x 4 lines display (but im only guessing here, I dont know this LCD)

find //#define ULTRA_LCD in configuration.h and remove the proceeding //'s

So it now reads

#define ULTRA_LCD

This should turn your lcd on

Also if you want SD card you need to enable that ie remove //;s from //#define SDSUPPORT

so it reads

#define SDSUPPORT

Ok, got most of it working except the z axis don't want to turn like they don't quiet have enough power to turn, x and y turn normal when done through the lcd panel,
but all axis work fine in repetier-host

been following
