odd marlin firmware issue

ok so i want to use the auto bed leveling setup... i have the probe and mount ready to go.. when i updated the FW to do auto bed leveling i got an error, i followed step by step from youtube guru Tom Sanladerer on how to do this on marlin and on his mendel90... however it isnt working for me... so heres my error:

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.
Arduino: 1.0.6 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK"
Marlin_main.cpp: In function 'void dock_sled(bool, int)':

Marlin_main.cpp:1299: error: 'SLED_DOCKING_OFFSET' was not declared in this scope
Marlin_main.cpp:1302: error: 'SERVO0_PIN' was not declared in this scope


What is this from ? i dont have any servos installed

This code is implemented when the line in Configuration.h is uncommented:

 //#define Z_PROBE_SLED // turn on if you have a z-probe mounted on a sled like those designed by Charles Bell

Check to be sure the double-slash is in front of the line, as above, and see if it works...

it commented out...as is the docking offset...see config file below.... and yes i know the config file has a name change..did that to keep it from getting confused with my working file...

I don't think many people here use ABL as it isn't needed with Dibond. Try the Marlin github issue tracker. If you haven't enabled the sled or servo the code that uses them should not be enabled.

Hi,

Whatever ConfigurationXXX.h and Configuration_advXXX.h files you use, you must name them Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h otherwise files other than what you expect may be included.

Looking at you original error message it appears that a #ifdef is disabling inclusion of material in the header file but not in Marlin_main.cpp.

This could be something as simple as a typographical error in the #ifdef naming in one or other of those files.

Take a look at Marlin_main.cpp near the function where the error was reported and work backwards looking for a SLED-related #ifdef and check that it matches the naming of the #define in Configuration.h.

I vaguely recall a commit to Marlin dealing with a misnaming of a SLED-related #define and you may be falling foul of this. Maybe not all sample configuration header files were fixed.

Ah, I see you are using Marlin from the MarlinFirmware repository.

This is a development branch and undergoing considerable change at the moment. It is quite possible that you cloned the repository with that code in a broken state. If you are unable to troubleshoot the code yourself I would suggest that you use the Stable branch from the old Marlin repository.

i DL'd the new v1.0.2 thats in development...seems to be fairly stable...found some minor things that could use change, mostly typagraphical and descriptive things but all my issues with ABL are gone for the most part...but i do have 2 big issues with ABL enabled...after homing z To the center of the bed, then doing a g29 to probe the grid, it wont move to the far right of the bed it only measures from rear center to rear left, then front left to front center...no matter what number i tell the firmware the rectangular dimension is...makes no sense...
the second issue is with the probe installed my Z max endstop no longer works...so after a print the z axis slams down into the print and bed instead of retracting to the top of my mendel90...if i unplug the probe, it works as normal..after the print it homes to the top...i tried inverting the endstop active hi low sense..i tried inverting the home direction from min to max...but nothing works...


Thouhts???

Unless your probe is coincident with the nozzle it wont be able to reach all of the bed. If it is left of the nozzle it will not reach the right of the bed.

OK, so i figured out my issue with the z always slamming into the bed, it wasnt the firmware, it was in fact the Gcode that cura was running...so i started fresh just be sure, well after i uploaded the new FW and setup the ABL as per tom sanladerers vid, it works great when manually inputting the Gcode thru pronterface... however, even tho i added the G29 to the start code, it doesnt function properly.. X and Y home then Z homes to the center of the bed... however it dosnt lower to the bed to probe it, it stays wherever the X carrage is in height and probes the air...then i get a Z endstop hit indication and everything freezes...ex. the X and Y home to 0, but the Z is at say 100mm above the bed...when it is told to home it moves to the center as it should, then moves up and down 10mm probing for the bed that is in fact 90mm below it... iv gone thru everything that i can think of to include removing the Z MAX endstop, and it didnt make any bit of difference...BUT if i manually enter the G28 and then G29 into pronterface it all works perfectly... thoughts? i also tried Cura and it did the same thing...so its not a software issue, i think its gcode or FW related...im wondering if it has something to do with the safe homing function?

on a side note, during heat up, the LCD says heating bed but not heating nozzle, where do i go to find the text and customize it the way i want? i found the text to display in the config.h file to say mendel ready...but cant find the others>..

Hi,

Some of the heating commands involve a wait for the temperature to be achieved. This can affect what is shown on the LCD status line.

The firmware does include status messages for both bed and extruder heating and under the right conditions they will be displayed correctly.

It would be inappropriate to modify the firmware on the assumption that it is displaying these messages incorrectly.

right well i dont disagree... just curious to find where its at...

still need to figure out why my Z axis isnt coming down to the bed...

Have you tried setting your Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER ? Mine for example is -7, which after bed leveling, tells my Z to move Z down 7 after bed leveling...

no i havent tried that... in fact i got rid of the ABL setup entirely after switching to matterhackers software to do everything... it has a bed leveling setup in it thats done thru the software rather than the firmware...works great for me... works great except it doesnt like my intel chipset drivers in windows 8.1... it loses communications at random times...so i use my backup laptop running windows 7 and no issues...
