Afternoon,

Trying to test out my Rostock build. I'm using ReplicatorG 0026 and/or Printrun and receiving a couple errors. Both interfaces mention "extruder switched off. maxtemp triggered !" and other information below. Could someone assist to bump me in the right direction. Only the steppers are attached to the Ramps 1.4 at the moment. I'm guessing I need to turn off a feature related to the extruder?

Andrew

Without a thermistor or thermocouple hooked up things may not work right.

Ok. Will get this going and report back. Thanks for the quick reply.

Which firmware do you use ? In Marlin it was possible to switch off/adapt the Max/MinTemp check - however, I won't recommend this in production.

Btw. you might also want to try the patched repg 5d version - [code.google.com]

cheers

Update:

Multiple tries in "various ways" with changes in the configuration.h file too.

(1) Installed the Arduino software IDE/toolset v23, Arduino v1.0.3, and Ardunio v1.04.
(2) Installed Ultimaker's RepG 25 and tried latest ReplicatorG builds.

Used ReplicatorG and Pronterface.

ReplicatorG: Used the Sprinter experimental driver.
Pronterface: Could just connect.

Results: Crazy text characters resulted. The fix to this was using ReplicatorG 25 and uploading a new firmware set: Ultimaker - Arduino Mega Shield v1.5.x (Mega 2560 only).

The below is what results of ReplicatorG which is similar to Pronterface. Seems like the thermistor error. ( Unknown: : extruder switched off. maxtemp triggered !) Thermistor connections have been tripled checked and plugged into different Ts (T0,T1,T2).

Any help is appreciated. Please ask anything if not described properly.
