The way i have my mobo set up its the makerbot way so i can run everything off a power supply. I have checked the solder conections and i cannot find any problems, i have now got it switching on and off by changing R18 for a 1.5K resistor instead of a 10K resistor so the power supply triggers. The chip is still not being detected by my comp when i try to bootload it (unisn a usbtinyisp), each timby yellowfrog - Controllers

I am getting this error when trying to burn the boot loader to my motherboard, yes the board is powered seperatly, ive gone for the maker bot setup so i can use a PC power supply. avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1 Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check.by yellowfrog - Reprappers
Yes, it does heat up when i trigger the power to run via jumpering the pwer wire to the neuteral. Also not being detected when i try and program the bootloader, though that may be a problem with my usbtinyisp.by yellowfrog - Controllers
Ok, ive got a v1.2 motherboard, assembled as per wki for use with the ATX power header. It does not turn on unless i am pressing on the pin for the green wire (power on) on the back (with one of the ground wires. I think this means that ive got a loose connection somewhere, where could it be, any help is greatly appreciated. p.s. i have no real knoledge of electronics, probably a bit ambitious trby yellowfrog - Controllers
SO? i thought the only part conected to the comp was the motherboard.by yellowfrog - Reprappers
Ok, bad pun i know. With my motherboard, i purchased a usb to TTL cable with just 4 pins (black, red,blue, yellow), not 6, will this be a problem with the motherboard, wich am am plannong on powering using the atx perower supply spot. will this work?by yellowfrog - Reprappers
hey, if you need some more help, i can upload some photoes of my x-axis.by yellowfrog - Reprappers
just ordered one unfortunatly.by yellowfrog - Reprappers
there is also a european outfit, iprint3D that i got my eletrics from, bout a 1 month wait, but all the parts there in nice packages.by yellowfrog - Reprappers
Thanks for sawing about the mods, so i will need to buy the sugested bootloader then, thanks.by yellowfrog - Reprappers
for the boot loader, does it need to to be the one that they suggest in the wiki, or could you get by with a .

Ive been planning on trying to build a 3D printer after seeing the BBC article about these a while ago. The only problem i have is deciding which option is best for me to go for. I live in London(UK) and from looking at ebay the reprap parts for the mendal are selling for £350+, which when combined with the electronics is more than I can manage. I have been looking at the alternate versions avalaby yellowfrog - General
