I went with Ramps + Mega to kick off the project since I was familiar with the Arduino IDE but after this I am switching soon. Is there a board you recommend ?by Ma_tits - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Well after hours of busting my head, I decided to uninstall the Aduino software and reinstall. Also did the same for Repetier and now everything works. Don't ask my why that has anything to do with it but I guess arduino wasn't properly uploading the code? No idea but problem solved.by Ma_tits - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
The drivers and steppers all work with the Ramps Test Code...When I connect the printer to a host and try to manually move the axis the motors just whine. I even uploaded the marlin fireware with only changes to the thermistor type and still the same. M119 for endstops is correct. All endstops show open and triggered when pressed.by Ma_tits - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Many views but no help ! Well figured out the stepper issue.. The ramps is 1A-1B which is one coil and 2A-2B for the second which makes no sense you should only have to match the letters for a coil. Problem 2: the steppers work now but only with a test code not with the Marlin firmware and repetier host ... They jerk, vibrate and whine with the host manual moments .by Ma_tits - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Setup: Marlin using Repetier Host, E3D Lite6 with thermistor reading about 104k ohms on the millimeter ..Heated bed and Hot end have a min temp set at 5. Both the heated bed and the extruder read 23.4 Degrees Celsius when idle. I manually increase the temp for both and they work fine and read fine. I have the marlin set to PID for both bed and extruder but I have not run the PID auto tune yet forby Ma_tits - Repetier
Setup: Ramps 1.4 + Mega Chinese Stepper: Holding Torque 76 oz, Resistance Per Phase 2.3ohm, 1.8 deg/ step, 4 wire bipolar, 1.4 A Max Stepper Driver: A4988 Chinese I compiled and inputted a test code to run all the steppers. Checked all the wiring, and checked the output of each stepper driver(500mA) Okay so here is my problem. The stepper only vibrate when I have all three jumpers(1/6 step dby Ma_tits - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
