I know the card need to be there at boot , but I was doing some test and dc 42 advice me to try to boot it without card and then do a m503 to check if the card read and then a m98 p config.g to load the config, but it hang like at boot with sd card.
Ill look into the shematics again but if i remember the socket is wire to the cd switch and to a pin on the due. Maybe my radds have a default there

Wondering why my radds 1.5 and r3-e wont work then , what are the change touching the sd card between 1.09k-b and 1.09r? There must be something...
Without the sd card in the radds the firmware was responding to my command but as soon as I put a card and execute it, the firmware hang. It also happen with a very minimal config.g .. Like the name of the machine only. Happen with 7 different sd c

I just set the current of one a4988 to about 1.22A I did not test it yet in the radds cause I dont want to blow thing up , What I did since the vref thing look like it not working was to hook a stepper motor to my prototype board and put a multimeter in serie with one coil , all ms1,2,3 were low so its full step so its about 70% of the current , so I set it at .854A this should give me a 1.22A in

I made some progress, Loading the 1.09K firmware and it work now, no hang on loading and I got movement and config is read nicely. I made a post on the radds thread and Dan answer me that for him it work on 1.09r so I dont know what to think right now, maybe the rev of the due (r3-e in my case) I just hope he will find the problem so I wont be stuck on 1.09k forever.

Oh I said I used the GLCD as secondary Sd card to test out, because plugging only a micro into the radds slot did not work and I did not plug both card at same time, I dont have it hook all the time , Just one time for testing and I redid all the wiring to match the radds just in case its suported in near futur.
I now get movement and it read config with 1.09k, but 1.09r is a no go for me , loa

Hi guys , Im building my first printer and I got a serious problem with the radds and firmware 1.09r, its about the sd card making the firmware hang
I try many cards , I even hook a glcd with a full size reader to try more cards. My due is a r3-e original, The radds a brand new one V1.5 from makerfarm and I can access the sd card with it if I connect WITHOUT the card first and can see it with m5

Just an idea, are you using windows line endings or unix line endings?
Have no idea of what you talking about.

I tried what you said but right after I send the m98 Pconfig.g command , I recv: OK , then I send 2 M105 and got no recv... it hang
I only have 4 driver in and the endstop for test purpose, no hotend or thermistor hook, is this the cause ?
I tried remove lot of line in config, like keep debug only or the name still same result...
when I remove every line and keep the empty file in the sdcard i

Thanks for the assist DC42 I know your the man when we talk about this firmware... I spend the last hours trying and trying! here are my progress and what I did
I reload the firmware 1.09r radds a least 3 time , the instruction for the radds using bossac and the programing port do not work on my due r3-e, So I use the duet way , using the native port and pressing erase then reset ( Not easy but

Fix the octiprint hang , I discover that to see the serial port or whatever usb port on due I have to hit the reset button on the radds, it look like the sd card have a hard time to boot up. Now in octoprint I can see /dev/tty/ACM0 when hook to "native port" and acm1 when hook to "programing port". none of them want to connect ... the native port while detecting baudrate hang at the first baudrat

Octoprint wont lets me log now, even when everything is disconnected from the radds, I enter my login and pass and click login and nothing happen .. I can still connect SSH. gonna have to try to reset the login or something or start over with the Image on sd card again, is this is the case im gonna use my 16gb class 10 I used in the radds in the raspberry and use the raspberry 8gb class 10 in the

If I remove the radds SD card with the /sys file in it, I can connect to the printer , there something in those config that broke the usb connection I guess maybe the panel due baults setting ( I dont use panel due) that conflict with the native USB, or do I need to put an ip adresse into the config file even If I dont ever connect it directly to my routeur ( arduino Due.. no ethernet) im loss he

Everything is hook and wiring is done , Yesterday I try to connect octoprint to the radds (reprap firmware 1.09r for radds) without the driver just to see if I can make a connection and everything work fine ( using the native US then octoprint ask me if I wanted to update and I did... Now I got everything hook up driver/endstop but octoprint just Wont connect at all whatever the USB I use on the

Finally glue the arm, so no more adjustment if needed, the tap were not straight enough to risk it.
I put some tension on the belts, but I dont know how much to put really, what will happen if the tension is too weak or too strong ? anyway to fine tune those ?
Next step for tonight is to align the effector ball with the dial , same I did with the carrier one, after that put the endstop

I got some problem, the magnetic cup I receive from that %$@%@ machinist are not straight at all , on 15 cup, 4 of them are usable and all the rest were not tap straight... I also had to buy a die on that size to clean the thread because they were not screwing into the cup at all. My design was to glue a screw kind of into the carbon and then screw the cup in, so I can remove them and move the ma

yah , I saw your make an announcement for that 1 day after I order my radds and a week after I order my Due, But hey Im planing to use your firmware! Its working with radds right ? same CPU...
I only wish they were a duet with removable drivers, not stuck on 1/16 drivers... I made a board for the due with Kicad fixing what I dont like about radds, Like radds lack mosfet driver or proper 3v log

I had trouble with the shaft that were off specs , look like they are not that straight also. I have to redo half of the housing to match the shaft and spend lot of time trying to screw them to the delta without them binding but I finally did it. To add to that my drill press went dead so I had to buy another one this weekend.
I also install the motor and the tensioner , the tensioner is a space

Just finish cutting the carbon fiber, I use a copper tube cuter, the one with the little cutting wheel and you turn and apply pressure. It was wonderful , no dust at all , couple large fiber only and a clean cut because it work outside toward inside so no break fiber. Too bad I did not cut right on the line and lets me a couple MM to file down just in case because the cut were nice, I finish it w

The shaft thread are too deep, and the bearing dont touch the inner cylinder but sit on the thread because of that, so move the bearing deeper or do new housing.
The guy who did that is a professional machinist and did that on his job site.. My guess is he did not want to do it at all and he butcher the job after month and month of me putting some pressure on him. Like instead of 1 flat per sha

Today I finish installing the top frame and top bearing are in place, now im trying to install the bottom bearing and that where the fun start... because of the off specs bottom shaft with too long thread at the end (.375" and suppose to be .3 " ), I have to find a way to shorten my bearing housing , I cannot just move them closer because there is the 20X40 between the 2 housing and in my origina

The round linear were out of question because of the space and they not really good for the price they asking... if I have to spend that kind of money its gonna be the flat one ( the real thing)
There was no cheap linear from china when I start to gather my parts 2 year ago and the price of those in North america were too high to consider ( talking about one meter rail here don't forget ) and ro

Took me a couple hour but I manage with my dial to place all ball's of all my carrier to a 0.0005 difference ( the resolution of my dial ), dead center on the carrier, same height same distance between ball's.
This build gonna take my a while im kind of obsess with precision... I guess is a good think while doing a delta
Better take my time and make sure everything is align and precise than rus

Its really hard to align the ball's perfectly, I nail the distance between the 2 with my jig but the UP/DOWN adjustment is really hard, not only align one set on one carrier but to align all carrier the same.
what happen is one ball is lower than the other ? is this something the software can take care off ? or maybe I can pick up the difference with my adjustment on the arm...

Hello,
This is my first post by I follow the forum since 2013, after month and month of waiting I can finally start to build my delta. I start the design of my printer in feb 2014 spend a year researching and building many cad model to allow a easy build with adjustment all around. After my design was locked in feb 2015 I start to build the frame, its all made of aluminum angle and V-slot that r
