Little Help? - Rostock Mini
July 04, 2015 09:01AM
Not really sure where to start. I picked up a Rostock Mini from a friend and its running a ramps 1.4/Mega combo. While I'm still trying to learn I disconnected the hotend/temp sensor. Right now I'm just trying to get it to move/draw stuff with a pencil.

All the motors move up and down consistently when running the ramps test sketch, but when I configure (using the default Delta Config) and load marlin (1.02 off GitHub) I can't get anything to move. I can connect through serial on arduino IDE and get status of the baord (compile date, geometry, etc) and I am able to connect to the printer with Repetier Host. Whenever I sent commands through terminal/Repetier the printer doesn't do anything. I send X10 in manual controls in Repetier and I get nothing.

I don't even know where to start to diagnose this problem (I'm guessing it's in the config file) Could it be limit switches and internal pull-ups?

Is there a command I can send through the Arduino IDE serial terminal to just make it move or confirm its kinda working?
Should I try another firmware? Is Repetier a better choice for this printer?

Thanks for any help.

Do you get a MINTEMP or MAXTEMP error? Without thermistors wired, Marlin's default action is to error and lock out . . .

I did not do that at first and was getting an error. I changed my config to:
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 0
No longer getting an error on Arduino IDE Serial Monitor. The board doesn't seem to be getting any command past the initial status "echo"s

When I first connect through serial monitor I get:

Now its working through the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor. For example if I send "M119" it will give the endstop status.
