It`s me again...
In the meantime, i got my extruder at least halfway to work. I am doing all my testing through the RepG control panel. The Extruder Stepper does turn (although it seems do be a bit weak) , the heater is heating and the thermistor is reading. Anyway, it seems like i cannot get my extruder hot enough to properly extrude. I am getting it barely hot enough so that i can push the fil

It seemes like i have turned the pot on the extruder board up too much. I turned it down and then the firmware upload went fine. why? no idea. anyway, my extruder stepper is still not working, only humming when i click on extrude in the host software. I had this before and thought i might just turn up power with the pot. doesnt work. because of that, the pot was still turned up. Also the termisto

Hello,
I am an Industrial Designer, situated in Hamburg and happy to contribute to the project. As I guess that there are enough engineers out there to fill any CAD/production technology voids, I like to focus on the usability and aesthetics part of reprap. I also do Graphic- and Webdesign and can help with user interfaces.
For us designers, this project has many different, highly interesting f

"Hello, I'm a designer." "I'm an engineer."
I repetedly tried it this way. For the motherboard it worked just fine. Now with all those lights on (see above post) i getting afraid that my extrudercontroller is somehow messed up. not shure if it was like this from the start. As i said, i sucessfully uploaded some firmware on it earlier ( i guess through the repG update routine, which is now not working, too.).
How are your ex board lit?

Yes, arduino Diecimala selected. no difference with arduino 017.
Anyway, i tried a different firmware now ( reprap fived gcode interpreter and corresponding extruder firmware, both compiled fine), where the mobo firmware went on the board just fine, but the extruder portion just would not. Of course, i plugged the ftdi into the ex-board and also paid attention to putting it the right way around.

Markus:
Thanks for your reply. I guess that you are assuming more knownledge than is existent here.
I am happy that there is any kind of host software at all, as anything else brings up more questions: What is a serial terminal? How do I hook that up to the Port? Where do I start typing?What is a baud rate? G1X10F50? ....
As I said earlier, having no programming background at all ( a little bit o

Hello RepRappers,
while having my repstrap built up now and googling around for over a week for a way to drive the stepper extruder ( v1.2 MoBo; v2.2 ExCo), the fun and exitement in the project starts to disappear for me. I did not expect the entire project to be just for people oh so keen in writing their own code or beeing extremely familiar with programming/ using arduinos. I did my fair shar
