Fastenal.com probably has a store near you. You can order online and they'll ship to the closest store of your choice. I had to go into the store to setup a cash account and purchase two small bags of washers to get two separate invoices. Then equipped with a customer number and two invoices I was able to register online. (dumb) But its only 10 minutes from the house and I can order small quantitby ggal625 - General
Ok. My problem appears to be due to Arduino 1.0. Your Gen7 dist contains "WProgram.h". Arduino 1.0 now expects "Arduino.h". I worked around this easily by just adding "Gen7/cores/arduino/Arduino.h" that contained the single line '#include "WProgram.h"'. I think if you add this one file it will work for anyone with Arduino 018 or higher, including 1.0. I uploaded SetupTest to the board. PSU cameby ggal625 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
FYI, when you export out of gEDA pcb for use with toner transfer you need to make sure you clear the 'auto-mirror' checkbox. If you can read 'RepRap Gen7 v1.3' then you forgot to clear this checkbox. FWIW, the pdf in github had auto-mirror checked, so its unusable for folks that want to do toner transfer. Its probably also unusable because the pads are too small and the drill holes are too big.by ggal625 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
I reviewed your changes in the github repository and they all seemed reasonable, so I decided to use the latest. It passed the smoke test. I've successfully uploaded the boot loader and then ran into a problem. When I try to build a SetupTest I get errors that 'Serial' and 'delay' were not declared in this scope. I get similar errors if I try to write a simple sketch. I've installed the Gen7 Ardby ggal625 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
Traumflug, Thanks very much for all your hard work designing this board. I've just successfully finished printing and etching a board using Press-N-Peel paper. The hardest part was the ironing. Took six trys to get the iron temperature just right. Gregby ggal625 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
Brian, I see that you recommend high temperature wire for the resistor. How long do these wires have to be before the temps have cooled off to a reasonable level? In other words, can I just get by with a short segment of high temp wire soldered to standard insulation wire? Do I need to use any kind of special wire to connect the thermistor, or does it come with long leads already? Thanks, Greby ggal625 - For Sale
