Re: Dual Heatbeds - 10 years ago

They make head beds that big? I've read that silicon headbeds don't have the best thermistors. How do you over come them?

Re: Dual Heatbeds - 10 years ago

Oh. Stupid me. So your suggestion would be a solid state relay? What does it do?

Re: Dual Heatbeds - 10 years ago

I was looking at the Rumba Board. It shows that it can support two heat beds. Anyone have experience with them?

Dual Heatbeds - 10 years ago

I have recently built a Cartesian printer and was curious about having two heat beds for a very large print bed about 300mm x 400 mm. I would use two of these Printer Beds. There are two inputs for heat beds on my ramps board but I've only found one spot for a thermistor. Also in the marlin firmware it looks like it only supports one heat bed. Does anyone know how to do this? One a side not coul

Good to know. I took off the voltage regulartor and ordered some more to replace it as well as a new arduino mega. I've heard the ramps board is pretty robust so I'm not to worried about it.

So you would plug the 5v 1a into and end stop. Would you use the -/+ or signal/+

Yea i finally figured that out but... i shorted the back of my endstop causing the voltage regulator on my arduino mega to fry to so i had to order a new one :c

Re: Test Code Not Working - 10 years ago

I just connected to my printer through repetier and i got an error in the log 13:06:30.074 : Error:No Line Number with checksum, Last Line: 9 13:06:30.130 : Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: 9 13:06:30.130 : Resend: 10 Would this be the issue if so how do i fix it?

Re: Test Code Not Working - 10 years ago

I uploaded more pictures. Yes I have 12 volts in and the 5 volts isn't the vbs. Here is the link to the photos, Also the stepper drivers are a4998

Re: Test Code Not Working - 10 years ago

QuoteDust You say your running test code, but the LCD shows your running real firmware... If your running real firmware get the controller to tell you what it thinks of the endstops Ie send m119 to the printer, any that say triggered, it will not move in that direction. I ran the firmware to post the X:--- Endstops all report open when running M119 through repetier The test code doesn't mov

Re: Test Code Not Working - 10 years ago

The limit switches are three wire. sorry for the small pictures. I put them up on imgur. Here is a link Ramps 1.4, Edit: I just switch the endstops to the minimum position instead of the maximum. Thought it might fix it but it didnt.

Test Code Not Working - 10 years ago

I've been banging my head against the wall for the last week trying to figure out whats wrong. The test code found on the reprap wiki blinks all the leds on the ramps 1.4 board but the stepper motors don't move. The pots are set between .65 - .70. The motors are not vibrating nor are they moving.
