M codes crashing reprap host

I recently decided to move to Skeinforge for creating g code instead of reprap host, i still use reprap host to print though. I had generated g code a few times and used the RR host to attempt to print it a number of times last night. Making small changes as I went along. After my last change which was the flowrate, the RR host software started to crash when the print head came back from its beginning dump point move. The command window said 'huh? dud response' for g code M103 (turn off extruders). I then just decided to delete that code and retry, the RR host crashed on the next code, M115 which is another regular happens all the time code I believe. I didn't get a whole lot of time to troubleshoot it as it was late. I am hoping it was just a fluke and a comp restart will do the trick.

Hi

Are you using 5D code?

I think part of the problem is that some M code meanings are now different between Skeinforge and Reprap.

Reprap codes here:-
[reprap.org]

You may have to examine the code put out by skeinforge to see the M code it puts out as standard as I can't find a list at the moment. I think I remember there was a conflict in the code used for heated bed.

You may be able to use replace.csv in the skeinforge alterations directory to correct this.

The quickest solution may be to put a very simple stl file through the host and skeinforge and compare the Gcode to see what substitutions to make.

If you cant use replace.csv you may have to edit the files for the time being to correct the m codes.

Let me know how you get on as I may face this problem soon as I switch from a Repstrap to Mendel.

Ok Thanks for the fast response Ian. I will update with progress.

Ok I fixed this by disabling the heated bed. I also turned the raft off as I am trying to calibrate using PLA and didn't want to have to print a raft every single time I tried to test a setting.

Try my Version, it works with ReprapHost The Wrong M-Codes are deleted in Export.py

Aller Anfang war schwer - Wolfstrap

Reprap-fab.org

Erfahrungen kann man leider schlecht weiter geben, die muss man selber machen.

If I needed to change the axis that skeinforge uses to fire the extruders, could I do this by changing the replace.csv file? I need to use axis 'A' rather than the 'E' command currently used by skeinforge

Hi

Yes.

Make sure you use the TAB between the items to be changed.

E(tab)A
