Thanks for the advice. The RepRap forum is my first forum. I though I was being helpful. Nether the less, I’m a reasonably fast learner. My directory setup is Arduino-1.0/Hardware/Gen7. I used the Sprinter 18ad4ff firmware and the Gen7 was derived from the Gen7+Arduino+IDE+Support. In Arduino Tools I can choose Atmega644P at 16 Mhz and 20 MHz. However I get the same results: Cursor jumpsby Dobert - Firmware - mainstream and related support
I took up the gen7 suggestion, see attachment for overview setup and errors. Although Arduino-1.0 still has errors, I'm happy to say that I'm able to compile with both Sprinter and Marlin using the Arduino-23 version. See attachment. Can't upload at the moment because I'm waiting for a replacement for my Atema644P which I managed to blow. Don't ask how, It's too embarrassing.

Yes I reinstalled the the latest version “Arduino 1.0.” The compiler works, but gives errors I’ve taken a look at the advice from sfisher10 “Known issues” but most of the suggested program lines that need inserting are already in the Arduino 1.0 files and the other options resulted in more errors. So I went back to the Ardino-22 version. This was working a week ago, but now I get errors! The cby Dobert - Firmware - mainstream and related support
I’ve been compiling and uploading with Arduino for some time without problems. However after a computer crash, I downloaded and re-installed the Arduino, Sprinter and sanguinolu software/firmware and when I attempt to compile, I get the following error codes: In file included from arc_func.cpp:26 /Sprinter.h:6:22: error: Arduino.h No such file or directory In file included from arc_func.cpp:26 Sby Dobert - Firmware - mainstream and related support
Hi and thanks L4nce0, ALL X,Y,Z-axis CALIBRATION PROMLEMS SOLVED. It had nothing to do with Pronterface or SFACT. I’m afraid, I’ll have to disagree with you on this one. This combination seems to work rather well for me. I would even go as far as to say it’s rather user friendly. My mistakes: 1. I had wired my printer according to the Sanguinololu 1.2 wiring schematic on de RepRap “Prusa Mendeby Dobert - General Mendel Topics
I’m having a calibration problem. Pronterface with Sfact installed and the software all seems to be running O.K.. After loading a test Gcode file, I start the print, and then! The Z-end stop seems to work perfectly well, but the X en Y end-stops take a real battering from the print plate for a couple of seconds (like a mini machine gun). Then the printer just stops, although the print program cby Dobert - General Mendel Topics
Hello, to anybody out there, PROBLEM SOVLED. The original sanguinololu wasn’t working. Probably because I messed about with it a bit too often. Bought a new sanguinololu and after a number of unsuccessful attempts, I changed to a different USB port, loaded new port driver and set port to 9600 Bits per sec. Uploaded Sprinter firmware without any problems. At least no more weird text. Of course Iby Dobert - Sanguino(lolu)
Bob en Hamish, Thanks very much for the help and the encouragement. I now understand how to setup the Ponterface environment. So this is solved. My problem now is uploading sprinter to the PCB. Bob pointed me in the right direction. I’ve put this question in the forum: electronics folder-sanguinololu. Still having fun with the build and going through a fast leaning curve.

I’m a first time Prusa Mendel builder and would be grateful is someone could let me know what am I doing wrong? I’ve read through the posts in this forum, including the post from codec 02/23/2012, but this doesn’t solve my problem. I’m using a windows XP environment and the sanguinololu 1.3a electronics with the ATmega 664P PCB with Sanguino-0023r3 software. The bootloader was installed prior tby Dobert - Sanguino(lolu)
Bob, Thanks very much for your help and I hope I haven’t wasted too much of your time. The build and the wiring of the Prusa Mendel was straightforward, however I'm having real difficulty getting my head around the software. The many options and load sequences and prerequisites have left me a little confused. Therefore I have decided to take time out to make some basic decisions before movingby Dobert - Experimental
Back again, I set up hyperterminal, but couldn’t send any commands. There is no reaction when typing letters on the keypad. However I can use the cursor which makes strange blue blocks appear. When closing the hyperterminal, I'm informed that the hyperterminal is still connected! Robertby Dobert - Experimental
Good evening Bob, The firmware is “kliment-Sprinter-95fbe3d”. Robertby Dobert - Experimental
Please bear with me, I'm not an experienced software/firmware user and this is my first 3-D printer. However, I'm thoroughly enjoying the build and I WILL get there. I'll try and get the terminology correct this time (learning curve). What I inappropriately called software is of course firmware. The firmware on the Sanguinololu is arduino.

I've set the baud rate at 115200. This is in accordance with the sanguinololu software. I down loaded Pronterface and Sfact again and unzipped the Sfact in the same map as the Pronterface. I've even down loaded an STL file and the slicing seems to work OK. In fact everything looks OK. It just will not connect to the hardware. This is what Pronterface.exe reports: Traceback (most recent call lasby Dobert - Experimental
Good evening Mr. Morrison, Thanks for the feedback. You were correct, I had the wrong COM port. I configured the FTDI port to COM3 en set the baud rate at 115200 (this is the sanguinololu baud rate). Pushed the Connect button. And received the following message in pronterface.exe: "serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port COM3: Toegang geweigerd".

Thanks very much. I can now get on with the wiring in anticipation of an answer to my question in Forum>Software>Experimental “Problem with Ponterface printer interface”. As you can see, I'm becoming a very enthusiastic 3-D builder (it's keeping me up at night), but I'm a novice to forums and have probably placed my question under the wrong heading. Thanks againby Dobert - Sanguino(lolu)
Hi Smartroad, Would you be kind enough to take a look at my sanguinlolou wiring of the Y-axis and let me know if my wiring is correct. See attachment I would be very greatful.by Dobert - Sanguino(lolu)
To start off with, I hope I'm on the right forum section. If not, please let me know. I'm a first time builder of a prusa mendel. The mechanical build went without a hitch. I have a sanguinololu 3D-printer driver that was pre-built including firmware. The sanuigololu has12V and is connected to the computer via an USP port. I first downloaded the Python software and then the Ponterface and Sfactby Dobert - Experimental
I'm a first time Prusa Mendel builder wishing to connect my Sanguinololu to my stepper-motors. I hav a Nema-17 42BYGHW811 stepper-motors. Wiring: Black=A, Green=B, Red = C and Blue=D. The Sanguinololu connections for the stepper motors are 2B, 2A, 1A and 1B. Now I'm a little confused which wire goes where. If anyone can give me a helping hand, I would be very grateful.by Dobert - Sanguino(lolu)
