Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
Are you sure you have the plug headers connected the right way on the RADDS and LCD module? "RADDS LCD Display 4x20" is all I needed to set for mine to work in the configuration tool (0.92.8). I assume you have this LCD/encoder http://reprap.me/radds-lcd-display.html I would also pull the entire firmware download and not just the Configuration.h file.by WestonWW - Controllers
Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
I'm having an issue getting my Z probing working. I have it hooked up to the Z min endstop pins. It works great for homing. When running G32 (bed.g) M574 P1-3 says the probe is already triggered and P4 doesn't trigger at all. Is it possible to use the Z End (with digital mode IR trigger) as the probe?by WestonWW - Controllers
Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
Quote I was able to get the endstops configured with M574 X2 Y2 S1 Z1 S0, is it more proper to use the 2 lines like you both have commented? For the hotend fan, is there a way to configure the function into the firmware where, anytime the hotend heater is active the fan turns on or do I need to write this into my macros and print start gcode? It would be nice if it was in firmware so I don't foby WestonWW - Controllers
Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
QuoteYes, you can have high endstops on some axes and low endstops on others. How do you do this? I have M574 X2 Y2 Z1 S1 defined for the end stops but I don't know how to change the "S1" without changing all of the end stops. I can rewire, but I would rather have the X,Y wired closed for an additional safety check. My IR probe is normally open and closed when triggered. I'm trying to get my hoby WestonWW - Controllers
Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 RRF does not currently support paired drivers. With 3 Z motors, I suggest you connect them in series and drive them all from one driver. Depending on the motors, you might need to use 24V power to run the Z axis at a reasonable speed. I was thinking about doing this but couldn't find a good example of this done with more than 2 motors. I didn't want to overload my stepper driver withouby WestonWW - Controllers
Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
Changing the firmware image to 1.09k for RADDS was the initial issue. I got some basic movement and heat/temps back from the printer but I ran into an issue that may be specific to my build. Since I'm using a second stepper driver I can't get my Z axis to work, the first 2 motors work fine on the paired Z axis, but I can't define another driver set to mirror the Z. This seems to be a RepRapFirmwaby WestonWW - Controllers
Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
Thanks for the quick reply! I'll work through the config again tonight. I can already tell you that part of my problem is I used the 1.09o build instead of the 1.09k for RADDS build so that will be the first thing I correct.by WestonWW - Controllers
Re: RADDS work now stable with RepRap Firmware - 10 years ago
Hello everyone, I've just completed building my SparkCube XL CoreXY printer with RADDS electronics and I'm trying to figure out the software side of things. This is my first time rolling my own firmware and I'm a little overwhelmed. I’ve had a Printrbot Simple for a few years so I’m not completely new to 3D printing builds, but the Printrboard firmware was pretty much “point and shoot” to get wby WestonWW - Controllers
