You actually don't need to start eclipse. Simply get the reprap host software, and install java3d 64-bit. Afterwards, replace the dll files in your reprap host software folder with the dll files in the java3d 64-bit installation folder.by mochen72 - RepRap Host
Unless something changed, I believe what I wrote earlier should work. I've been using the RepRap host on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. mochen72 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > The standalone Java Host program comes with a few > *.dll and *.jar files whose file name begin with > j3d.

I am actually not sure how to put the files on sourceforge. I would put my working files up if you could show me how Moby mochen72 - RepRap Host
The standalone Java Host program comes with a few *.dll and *.jar files whose file name begin with j3d. These files that come wtih the Java Host program are 32-bit versions. I believe the rxtxserial.dll and rxtxparallel.dll files are also 32-bit versions too. To make the standalone program work, you need to replace these 32-bit files with their 64-bit versions. The 64 bit version of j3d files aby mochen72 - RepRap Host
Oh, apparently the heater output was one of the MOSFET outputs without PWM (output C- and C+). I wonder if there is a way to change. I suppose I could do without PWM. One strange thing is still happening though. The stepper motor of the extruder would only turn on one of my computers and not the other. Is there any settings in the host software I should be aware of?by mochen72 - General
Thanks a lot! I downloaded another version of the 5D firmware, and made the SDA and SCL connections, and got the extruder stepper to move. However, I can't seem to turn the heater on. Any suggestions? Moby mochen72 - General
I will try the two wires. Are you using a Mendel? I'm still using a Darwin. I wonder if that's why the Z wouldn't work. Thanks a lot for your help Moby mochen72 - General
Hi everyone, I have been having some trouble getting my Reprap to print. I have loaded the FiveD_GCode_Interpreter firmware to the motherboard, and FiveD_GCode_Extruder to the extruder controller. When I use the Reprap java host to nudge the X and Y axes, everything works fine. However, when I do the same with the Z axis, the motor would try to move but fail. I am not quite sure what the problby mochen72 - General
Hello, Did you ever figure out how to get around the error when you try to specify that you will use a thermistor? Thanks.by mochen72 - RepRap Host
I posted in two other forums but I would like to post here so more people see it. My team and I are working on a new print head that can lay down solid wire (copper, for example). However, we are are not sure how multiple extruders can be controlled using ReplicatorG.

I made a post this in the experimental software forum before I realized this forum was here. One challenge we are currently facing is we are not sure how multiple extruders can be controlled using ReplicatorG. Our plan was to use one extruder controller to control the thermoplastic extruder that everyone is familiar with, and a second extruder controller to control a head that lays down wire.by mochen72 - Wire and Thread Embedded Extrusion
Hello, I tried to search for a way to control multiple extruder controllers using ReplicatorG, but haven't found anything so far. Has anyone else attempted this? I was hoping there would be a GCode word that would allow me to specify which of the motherboard ethernet ports to use. Thanks for any input. Moby mochen72 - Experimental
I just reinstalled the Arduino software and repeated the procedure for uploading the SanguinoMaster and everything works now.by mochen72 - RepRap Host
Hi everyone, I tried to do a search about my problem both here and on Google, but couldn't find a solution. My problem is that I am not able to compile SanguinoMaster.pde. ========== What I have done ============== I have uploaded other firmware such as the motor testing firmware to the motherboard, and everything worked fine.

So are you saying that only the TTL cable is necessary for programming the sanguino/arduino? If that is the case, why does the documentation for Motherboard and Extruder controller refer to this? --> Thanks a lot again.by mochen72 - Controllers
Sorry if this seems like another dumb question, but what is the difference between the TTL cable and the bootloader? Does the bootloader only need to be used once? Thanks in advance.by mochen72 - Controllers
Would these be a good alternative to USB-TTL? 1) 2) It almost seems like you can just connect 1) directly to the Motherboard, then use a USB to USB cable.by mochen72 - Controllers
Sorry if these are stupid questions; I just began working on the electronics part of the Reprap. 1. What is the difference between RJ45 and RS485? The connection between the motherboard and other generation 3 components use RS485, so I am a little confused about why the documentation for the Motherboard mention both FJ45 and RS485? 2.

The above instructions also work for Windows 7 64-bit. However, when entering URL into eclipse, I had to click on the URL in the instructions and copy the full URL into eclipse.by mochen72 - RepRap Host
oops... just realized that my indentation didn't show up hereby mochen72 - RepRap Host
Python is based on identation. In C++ We write something like for(i=0;i<10;i++) { ... } The code block is enclosed in { and }. In Python, the indentation is what matters: for i in range(10): ... You have to make sure each indent level is the same. For example: (# denotes comments) if i == 0: ... # indent level 1 for j in range(20): ... # indent level 2by mochen72 - RepRap Host
I'm not sure what the warnings are. The error is probably because your computer is not connected to the Reprap. I haven't made a batch file yet... I will let you know once I get there.by mochen72 - RepRap Host
jbayless gave me detailed instructions on how to setup eclipse, which solved my problem. Here is a slightly modified version of his instructions that worked for me. 1.
