Testing axis control w/o extruder/heat?
March 16, 2014 02:46PM
While I'm waiting on a few misc parts, I wanted to test the full range of movement on all axis to make sure there isn't anything binding. I had originally upladed the marlin firmware, but any frontends complain about not having a temp reading (which is legit). I then tried one of the "test" code samples, which seem to just rotate the motors each direction in a loop. This worked, although I found that the belted units weren't very smooth. What I'd like to do is be able to watch the full range of motion, and ideally control it.

Any ideas?

If i remember correctly, I set my themesters to 0 and my min temp to 0. That let me test things. Been awhile..
