So close... yet so far.

Howdy folks. You might remember me from the PSU Help thread. I'm back, with another question, this time centered around starting up this thing.

So the good news: I wired everything up, followed all of the "Software" directions, and fired it up. The PSU fan turned on, the extruder fan turned on, and nothing sparked or exploded. Success?

Now I'm stuck with this

Help me out, tell me what it means, I feel so close... yet so far.

Thanks!

The error means your extruder thermistor is not connected.

Double check the wiring for the extruder thermistor. I had a similar issue with mine originally. Could be a loose wire, a short, or less likely it could be the pin out on the melzi could be different than Nophead's. BUT I think I'm probably the only one with the pinout issue since I sourced my Melzi locally here in the states.

Hmmm... could it be throwing this error if one of the connections from the thermosistor to the pcb board (that we soldered on) is loose/not connected?

Photo for reference:

Just use a voltmeter and check the continuity between those thermistor connections in the photo and the melzi. That way you can rule out a bad connection.

Thanks for all your help everyone. I corrected the Problem,

Additionally, I was able to get this to print.

Couldn't have done it without you all. Thank you so much!
