Thanks DUST, that is how I have them wired and is my config for Marlin 1.1.x. I copied that over to Marlin 2.0.x but got no movement.
After a lot of reading, I found info regarding the SKR 1.4 Turbo board that says the VCC for the stepper pins is only 3.3v.
I can only guess that this is where the problem is. If the M542 are not receiving the proper voltage, they won't know when
to pulse. I'm

Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting steppers to work with external drivers? My machine has been printing for 10 years now with a Ramps 1.4 setup and the same M542. I tried upgrading my machine to an SKR 1.4 Turbo board but cannot get it to communicate with the M542. Any info that anyone has would be helpful.

Hello
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the above mentioned stepper drivers. I was able to obtain 2 of them to use for my extruders using typical nema 17 motors. The motors work as I had them working with pololu a4988 drivers. I installed the DM422C drivers
and cannot get the steppers to turn. The steppers enable but will not rotate. Once enabled, the steppers make a high pit

@ralfsteck: I built my extender based on THIS PART and according to the Mosfet specs found here it can handle up to 100V. I run my machine on 24V and it works fine. The Mosfet doesn't even get warm. The bed heats super fast compared to my old 12V.

Thanks Leghk.
I followed the instructions HERE and that went fine. But it still failed installing OpenGL-0.67 as noted in the log:

I am trying to test my electronics with the test file found HERE. When I try to upload it to the board, Arduino give me errors like this:

Any time I've encountered a "isn't numeric in (function)" I have solved it by reviewing my settings. Everytime, it was because there was a setting missing a number. If it supposed to say "0" and instead the field is empty, then you will get the "isn't numeric" error.
You can even open the Gcode.pm and look for the line that is throwing the error. THat will give you a hint what setting is caus

The reason I am using Strawberry perl is because I am using the non-compiled developement version from Github.

If you are using the precompiled version then you don't need to worry about perl at all.

I tried your suggestion Dean and that installed. Then I got new errors and got frustrated again. Instead of chasing down all these frustrations, I installed Strawberry Perl in a single shot and everything works great now. I even dare to say that my prints look better than ever, if these are even related.

Can anyone say with certainty whether, on a multi extruder FDM different SPU (steps per unit) can be set to each extruder. I have tried to find answers anywhere I could but only found Muli Extruder Estep with no real response. I have to turned on Multi extruders in configuration_adv.h under Mechanical Settings. In Configuration.h I put in my SPU for X,Y,Z,E. But thru testing I'm certain that p

I've tried many iteratoins without success so I thought I'd post my results here. I've asked on #reprap but I still couldn't get the dev to build. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. We are dead in the water until I can get slic3r dev back up and running.

Whenever I try to >perl Build.pl the dev from github I get more errors than I used to. Is there anyone who can confirm this? Or what have I not updated that needs to be?
Slic3r still assembles and then runs, but I'm just not sure it is properly done.

We have finally got to a point on our machine where we are testing the second extruder. We have set all the correct settings in Slic3r to get a good print. What we have found is that the skirt operation is only performed by the first extruder. Does anyone know how to get the skirt function to use both extruders? Or is Slic3r not able to yet? Anyone have any suggestions how to get around this

Solve the problem of the oozing rather than ask for another feature. I'm really NOT trying to be mean but can't think of any other way to put this.

We use Marlin and if we get this message, we know right away to look at the thermistor wiring. This is a safety feature built into Marlin to check and see if there is any temp reading from the thermistor. If the firmware gets no reading at all, it assumes the thermistor is broken and shuts down the extruder. That's why you get the error message about the extruder switched off.

Through trial and error, I can confirm what jbernardis is saying. Personally, I prefer to write all my changes into firmware on PC, flash to arduino and then forget about the rest. Especially during testing.

By this:
QuotePolygonHell
if EEPROM is enabled
do you mean:
Quote//define this to enable eeprom support
//#define EEPROM_SETTINGS
//to disable EEPROM Serial responses and decrease program space by ~1700 byte: comment this out:
// please keep turned on if you can.
//#define EEPROM_CHITCHAT
from Marlin?
If that is what you mean, and I leave eeprom turn off, then any changes made are only stored

When I make a change to my Marlin firmware and upload it to my Ramps 1.4/Arduino Mega 2560 board, where exactly is the firmware being stored? In flash memory or eeprom? I ask because it seems that whenever I make a change to the files and upload them with the Arduino IDE, the changes don't seem to be in effect. Do I have to turn off then on the machine? Or is it being loaded to eeprom and I h
