1.1.1 PID autotune issue - 9 years ago
So I flashed some new settings and changed my PSU and after a few small glitches I decided to redo my PID autotune for both bed and tip Bed went OK, An over temp that I fixed by temp setting PID to more passive numbers. Now my TIP is another story... First I was getting overtemp, Adjusted and tried again, over temp again. finally I got a real tame set of numbers that appeared to work. then Iby JustSumGuy - Firmware - Marlin

ok, a picture is beginning to form.... My newbie mind is getting there only 5 weeks into this now I think... I am having a little trouble warping my head around the origin being away from the stops but I see what your saying. now how to put it into practice... I am going with the LF-origin option. my end stops are x-left and y-rear my printable area is x-150mm and y-130mm I am exploring tby JustSumGuy - Printing

my physical stop switches are factory (if you can call it that) set there. From my perspective looking at the printer - rear (away from me) and to my left. The printers own POV rear rightby JustSumGuy - Printing
Marlin 1.1.1 from scratch Mirrored text on prints - 9 years ago
Hi all, so I have this little GeeTech ME Creator box and it had issues with pretty much everything when I got it... Frankly I cant recall why I gave up on the stock firmware... So I treated it like a home build and loaded a fresh Marlin 1.1.1 up and started fixing issues one by one. For some time now I have been happy with it, but today I tried to print a nice little T.A.R.D.I.S. for my daughteby JustSumGuy - Printing
Re: exploring bed and autolevel sensors for self build. - 9 years ago
Thank you David this is exactly the kind of advise I was hoping for. Its funny how looking around shopping for bits I got the feeling the silicone heaters were old school rather than the newer tech I chose the Ramps 1.4 because I have some Arduino Mega 2560 boards hanging around with no job to do. My buddy and I are trying to work out the lowest cost large volume fast printer that can 'reaby JustSumGuy - Mechanics
exploring bed and autolevel sensors for self build. - 9 years ago
I would appreciate some experienced assistance here. I have only a few months experience with an ME Creator and after feeling the limitations out I am ready to begin ordering some bits to make one from scratch based from a Ramps 1.4 setup. So I am investigating options for a printer build. I am on a bit of information overload in trying to select parts. So much info and a lot of it is old so fby JustSumGuy - Mechanics

1.1.1 lost heated bed - 9 years ago
I have installed 1.1.1 onto my Sanguinololu 1.3 and I have almost everything working well. But I have lost my heated bed totally. It does not show up on the LCD or in any software. I have checked all my wires and everything is connected as it was before, I did put the Sanguinololu into a case so I did have everything disconnected but I made certain everything is as it was. Any ideas? I haveby JustSumGuy - Firmware - Marlin
Re: 1.1.1 configuration G28 Homeing - 9 years ago
I agree PhantomGT but still thank you Roxy for the direction. I did set a sotware end stop and that does help some but the problem PhantomGT described where I power on with the bed at or near bottom will certainly still happen.by JustSumGuy - Firmware - Marlin
Re: Sanguinololu Rev 1.3a - how to load firmware - 9 years ago
Just wanted to say thanx Dust, I have things going well enough to work with it all at this point. I found some indications online that an aruidno board can in some situations work without a bootloader. I am starting to think that either the bootloader on it is missing the USB components OR is just not there at all... So I am going to do as you suggested in one of your posts and use the M92 coby JustSumGuy - Sanguino(lolu)
1.1.1 configuration G28 Homeing - 9 years ago
So trying my hand at configuring 1.1.1 but the documentation is not up to date as I bet most everyone is aware Also I am pretty much a newbie. I have almost everything working but I have an issue with G28 homing. The system is moving the z axis away from home before it homes x/y and then it homes Z On most units I can see why, but on my unit its my Bed that moves on Z so I always have it nearby JustSumGuy - Firmware - Marlin

Re: Sanguinololu Rev 1.3a - how to load firmware - 9 years ago
turned out the cable was wired weird, I made a new one but still issues with that unit. So I got out some old kit and got buzy with an Arduino Nano and made an ISP out of it. Still had to mess with that for hours and just before the hammer started hitting the Sangunololu I got it to flash. Ok, I got a lot of learning in Thank you. I still cant flash anything direct via the built in USB portby JustSumGuy - Sanguino(lolu)

OI !!! just days and days of headaches here. Ok, I had the 10pin to 6 pin cable that came with it still in my drawer so all good there. Plugged in the power supply to the Sanguinololu board and the ISP header into the USBISP set the Arduino IDE to use USBISP and selected upload by programer (CTRL+SHIFT+U)- no luck, here is the error.

ok first I want to say thank you for taking the time to help me work on this, it is truly appreciated. However I am not getting any luck when I said I was using Arduino as ISP I am referring to the setting in the IDE the board is simply plugged into my Windows 10 X64 PC via USB.

Hello, I am trying to install Marlin 1.1.1 onto my Sanguinololu 1.3 1284p board. Having a ton of trouble, I have installed the correct JSON for the board into Arduino 1.8.2 that I have, but I get the error that I have to select the Sanguino board when I verify the sketch. Of course it is selected. Eventually I abandon 1.8.x IDE and after messing around with versions I found that Arduino 1.6.13by JustSumGuy - Sanguino(lolu)
