Guys? Gals? All of you are devs. This is development.
Re: LCD works, but encoder is not working, help? - 9 years ago
If you are getting a MINTEMP error at the bottom of the LCD, connect your thermistors and check their setup. The bottom line should then say 3D printer ready. In my case on Marlin 1.1.0 RC6, THE MENU WILL NOT OPEN WITH UNLESS THE PRINTER IS "READY". Easy solution Shame it took 2 days of head bashing to get there.by ooda55 - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
Re: LCD works, but encoder is not working, help? - 9 years ago
I'm having exactly the same problem with REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER running Marlin 1.1.0 RC6 on a Sanguinololu 1.2a board. the 128x64 LCD is working nicely but turning and pressing the encoder doesn't do anything (remains on the home screen showing temperatures + xyz positions etc). STOP button resets the micro-controller, which i believe is correct. I've tried running sparkfuby ooda55 - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future

Great successes at last!!! I now have fantastic smootgh running X, Y and E motors However i am still having terrible jumping problem with my Z axis The solution to my problem turned up here: Config Each Pololu has a trimpot located next to the heatsink. The trimpot controls the current that is sent to each motor. Turning the trimpot counter-clockwise reduces the current to the motor, turning itby ooda55 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group

I usually select the serial power header for programming but the firmware never seems to uplaod, fidling around witht he jumpers (switching it to disc power and back) sometimes lets the firmware "go through" I am thinking i must be a step i am missing in the firmware upload processby ooda55 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
Re: Gen7 build: - 14 years ago
Updating my firmware on the chip seems to have improved my jumping-steppers problem I only managed to get the firmware to go onto the chip by taking jumpers on and off until it finaly went through (with lots of timeout errors) What is the correct jumper configuration for firmware upload?

Hi there, Chris Stubbs again Thought it was about time i created an account on here I see what you mean about the TTL pinout, annoying though. We hooked the enable pin up to the oscilloscope and it was performing as expected, as well as the step pin I thought i should make a quick video to help explain my problem better I believe the motors are connected correctly but the StepSticks are pickingby ooda55 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
