Autoleveling - no movement from the servo
October 14, 2017 02:16AM
Hi all
So I eventually decided to go back to autoleveling but with a servo version now. I havr a Tevo Tarantula with mks base 1.4 board. I am using the left servo port when viewed with power connectors at the bottom.
I am using repetier firmware. I have tried the latest and the dev version.
The leveling command works but the servo is not actuated.
I have tried test commands M340 and M280 and others I found.
I believe the pin assignment is 11 in the FW.

I have tested with a different servo and get the same result. I could load the board with some simple arduino code to test the servo but just checking here first.

Thanks in advance.

Repetier FM uses M340
Try M340 P0 S1000

or M340 P0 S2000

if these do not work then you probably have the wrong pin selected.

Ok so all was correct in terms of pins etc. I didn't turn on feature servo with a 1. I have the servo working now. G29 doesn't work. I guess G32? Ok I'm still in bed and thinking lol

yep, repetier uses G32 S2 (S2 save data to eeprom) for bi linear levelling and G33 for mesh levelling.

I can get the servo working and the command to autolevel but no.matter what the servo does not swing down or move at all when invoke autolevel. I've given up. Staying with manual lol no time for crap

In features section of repetier fw tool, when you enable z probing box and servo support box it then gives you the option (about half way down features page) to enter the
probe start script and
probe finished script

Ah ok so I need some custom script to run in that space?
