Does the "Reverse" button work for anyone?

Hi Everybody,

We managed to get Repsnapper connecting with our Mendel, things are moving and heating up just fine so far! What I was wondering was if anyone is using the "Reverse" button beside the "Run extruder" button in the "Interactive control" area with any success. It doesn't seem to working here. I can get the extruder to run, but not reverse.

Thanks for any feedback!

Works for me, may be related to your electronics/firmware ?

I use techzone monotronics (with their custom firmware).

Does it turn in the normal direction when you use reverse, or not move at all ?

Bonjour Deux Vis,

Thanks for your reply.

We are using the Techzone monotronics -with their firmware as well, which is supposedly the most up-to-date.

I just figured it out!! You have to have the reverse button in the "on" position and then you have to click on "Run extruder" - I thought reverse would just reverse on its own... silly me I seem to be answering my questions these days! At least if someone else has the same problem they will find this message, I hope.

Fine, yes it's a toogle and you must still use the other button. The fact that the main button is a toogle itself doesn't help getting it I reckon.
