now I'm wondering if the fuse cutting out could be indicating a bigger problem.............is there anything wrong with just shorting over the fuse?
Well, just shorting over the fuse would eliminate this issue but, if there is a bigger problem then it will probably display itself as a nice smoldering pile of electronics if your lucky or a fire if your not!

Hi,
As a final update from me on this topic.
The two boards I ordered have both been working without issue.
I contacted the vendor regarding the fact that the supplied boards are not R3 and they gave me a small refund.
All in all I am a happy customer.

I have now taken the time to incorporate these changes into a fork of the official Marlin guthub repo.
This has included menu entries for all 8 languages.
If my additions are accepted and merged into the main Marlin branch then there will be two choices you can make in configuration.h
1. #define LCD_DEFAULT_ON
Leave this uncommented for default Marlin behaviour (PSU on at Marlin startup)

Hi Sound,

Moreover I think that the Z offset option shouldn't be at all in Slic3r as it's an ugly compensation for bad endstop position.
I understand where you are coming from but I use the Z offset to adjust the difference in Z height between my hot end at 185c, when printing PLA, and when it is at 230c for printing ABS.
I used to have both sets of figures in Marlin with the unused

Hi,
Glad it worked for you. One other thing I have found with newer versions of Marlin is that the PSU is on by default.
I didn't like this much as the whole idea was to be able to leave the PSU in standby and turn it on and off through the panel or M80 / M81 commands.
I appreciate that whilst this can still be done I don't want to have to issue an M81 or go through the LCD just because I hav

Hi,
The item I seem to have purchased looks exactly like the item described by the OP but is from a different seller. In my case gadgetextreme ( ). I think they are somehow linked as my goods were despatched by a GoodLuckBuy company as described below. The OP's seller is goodlucksell, coincidence maybe but........
The order was placed through eBay on the 12th Jan 2013. I received an eBay d

Right, easier than I first thought...

Hi,
It would appear that the recent updates of the frimware have resulted in a rewrite of the LCD scripts thereby making the about tutorial incorrect for the current version. So yes the guide needs updating but first I will need to work out how to get this working with the newer versions of Marlin.
Please don't expect this to be done soon as I have rather a lot on at the moment.

Hi Scuba,
It works
As a first time user of Arduino devices I have never programmed them before, let alone modify the code.
I now have an entry for 'Power' on the main menu with PSU ON and PSU OFF as selections of its sub menu.
It took me a little while to get it sorted but without your input it would have taken a lot longer.
Thanks again Scuba, your advice was invaluable.
If anyone else

Hi Scuba,
Thanks for replying to my post. The RAMPS kit I have purchased works perfectly from the 5vsb including the LCD display and encoder
I managed to find and modify the language.h file, adding the variables for the PSON and PSOFF messages, though I have only added them to the language 1 section at the moment.
I have, as my second post sugested, managed to get the LCD to display a new su

Hello again,
By copying some of the control configuration I have managed to get an entry for Power Supply under the control menu of the LCD. If selected however this displays the motion_control sub menu as this is where I copied the code from.
So now I need help with creating a sub menu for PSU ON to send an M80 command and PSU OFF to send an M81 command.

Hi,
I have just purchased a RAMPS 1.4 kit from a well known auction site and I am just starting to get my head around it.
I am currently using the latest iteration of the Marlin firmware and it seems to be working.
I have modified an ATX power supply and connected the PSON (green) wire to the RAMPS board and can turn the PSU on and off using the M80 / M81 serial commands.
With the kit I also
