Hello,
for a Project im currently trying to modify the marlin software. The Goal is to send the TCP-Speed of a Robot to the Ramps 1.4 wich can then control the extruder that way.The Ramps board will only control the Printhead (Hotend + Fans + Extruder). The Problem is the only way to extract the TCP Speed is via 8 I/O's wich form a byte and the robot itself cant be connected to the extruder since it is a closed system.The pathing is done with RoboDK . I set up an Arduino Uno to print the according decimal number wich works fine. Also my Setup with the Arduino Mega 2560 and the Ramps 1.4 and a 24V PSU works in Pronterface. Now i need to establish a connection between the arduino UNO, and the Ramps 1.4 board so that marlin can extract the TCP Speed and set it as the Extruder Speed. The ideal way would be that i can somehow control the Temperature with Pronterface (wich worked already) but then automize the process with setting the extruder speed in the background.
Sadly I am not really experienced with programming especially not with marlin. My tries with the help of chatgpt and official documentations wont bring me any further than this and so I'm hoping that this is the right place to ask for help .
(Apparently I need to configure the serial Ports and then write a function in the gcode.cpp file but that goes way beyong my knowledge)
