I have an Acer Iconia W3 tablet – runs Windows 8 Pro on an 8.1” screen. (And has enough horsepower to slice things locally, albeit slowly….) :-P USB Comms are solid, and it controls the printer without issue. I was wondering if there is source code for repetier-host that I can alter the window layouts to better work on the small screen. Barring the availability of source, there are a few fby t3kboi - Repetier
Howdy - I have been trying and failing to create an M8 hobbed bolt that works. I got excited when you found yours on eBay - but alas, I can NOT find one on eBay. Any chance Daniel gave you his contact info? Or will be posting more on ebay? Another Denver Mendel Makerby t3kboi - Reprappers
OK - maybe this is a silly question - but in the last two posts, there is a picture of uploading the firmware from replicatorG, followed by the Reprap host software. ReplicatorG firmware -- works with ReplicatorG Reprap Mendel Firmware -- works with Reprap Host Software Are you mixing and matching the firmware and the control software? Also - the firmware builds on both the motherboard and tby t3kboi - Reprappers
Sorry for the long delay - had relatives in town for the last 10 days. So - my results: Changing the maximum XY fastfeedrates worked fine. Acceleration - works fine on my repstrap (JacqueStrap - ee eez French..) I set the acceleration start point to about 65% of my max feedrate - machine works well both with acceleration enabled or disabled. I am tempted to leave it enabled - I figure therby t3kboi - RepRap Host
I have a junkstrap, that has a high gear ratio on my x an y axes , which limits my speed to around 1000 mm/minute. In the host software - the jog panel pays attention to this setting - but the home buttons do not - pressing home attempts to move all axes at somewhere around 3000 mm.minute - which is bad for my hardware. Is there anywhere I can adjust the speed behind the home buttons? Thanksby t3kboi - RepRap Host
I also have a new Wade/Nophead extruder, and am a total noob. Using the spreadsheet is great - but which steps_per_mm do I enter? steps_per_mm of feedstock? or filament? And the "Ideal Head Feedrate" - This should be entered into the reprap host preferences? Lastly - how fast should I be capable of extruding? After experimenting for a while, I can extrude - but very slowly. Thanks a buncby t3kboi - Plastic Extruder Working Group
I figured it out - I had more than one reprap preferences file, after cleaning up extra files, and restarting the reprap host, it is now using the values stored in the file. Thanks!by t3kboi - RepRap Host
Hi Everyone, Still working on my junkstrap ('JaqueStrap'). I now have the motherboard, endstops, and the x and y axes mechanically setup. I am working on calibrating my axes, and it is going well but I have a question about the home function in the Reprap Host XYZ jog panel: My axes are geared, so I have a much higher steps_per_mm than normal lets call it 3.5:1. As a result of this, I need tby t3kboi - RepRap Host
Progress! It was indeed the endstops - but not how I thought. (OK - time to put on stupid hat) I had connected the min endstops to the max pins - when I doublechecked pins, I just checked the same ones again. (i.e -- repeated my original error). So...... When I actually connect them to the pins for the min stops - voila! Sometimes I just cant see the forest for the trees. Thanks to all forby t3kboi - RepRap Host
I have endstops configured and connected. They are H21L0B, and the setting in configuration.h has them as inverted. Based on your suggestion - I tried tripping them, and then running backward - same result - no pulses. Tried disconnected as well - same result. Thanks for the idea.by t3kboi - RepRap Host
OK - I figured this one out - Windows - In addition to configuring baud rate settings in the reprap host software, I had to go to Device mangler in windows, and manually change the port settings there as well. So when using reprap host - I set to 19200,N,8,1 When using replicatorG - 38400, N,8,1 If I don't set it in device mangler as well as in the host software, I only get partial comms wby t3kboi - RepRap Host
Hi, I have my board running now with the Reprap Host, and was using the commsdebug=true and the xyz tab to jog motors. Set speed to 300 mm/minute max. Jogging in the positive direction - all motors move. Jogging in the negative direction - no movement. Hooking up an oscope - direction - inverts correctly (+5 for positive, GND for negative) Steps - can see the pulse train on the positive BUTby t3kboi - RepRap Host
Breadboarding a mobo - currently have connected 3 x pololu step drivers, an SN75176 transceiver, power, ground, and motor power. Motor drivers are connected to the matching pins for the sanguino mobo v 1.2 pinouts - xyz - dir, step, enable. Writing my own sketch to exercise the motors - works great. Loaded the 5G interpreter onto the board - verified configuration.h, verified pins.h. After upby t3kboi - RepRap Host
Actually, I saved over it with the working version... But essentially, I had this: if (comparison) { // action A // ... // ... } else { // action B <---- Only this line of code executed // ... <----These lines were skipped // ... <----These lines were skipped } <--- and this curly brace was the end of the function, not the end of the else construct.

Solved!!!! Thanks to everyone for suggestions. So... I wasn't crazy, but possibly just stupid. Sanguino - is just fine. Atmel - behaving perfectly normal L293 - behaving perfectly normal Arduino compiler - BAD BEHAVIOR This is either me just being a novice coder and not understanding C/C++ type constructs (I usually program in .Net and assembler) OR This is a bug or possibly a known issueby t3kboi - Controllers
No direction device on the bridge., and I was seeing the ~2V with no devices connected - just reading straight off the pins. Progress has been made though - If I program a sketch to set pin A high and pin B low, and then measure voltage at the pins - I get 5V. If I write a new sketch and load it with pin A Low, and Pin B High, I get 5V. If I write a sketch that sets it one way, delays for 200mby t3kboi - Controllers
Thanks for the reply. I am using a driver - using an LM293DNE quad half-H bridge. My problem is that if one pin is high and the other is low, I should see 5 volts (I.e. 5V TTL HIGH, and 0V TTL LOW) But instead, I see 5V when A is High and B is low, but only ~2V when B is HIGH and A is low. (A and B are any digital GPIO pins on the sanguino). I should be seeing 5V either way - it is just emulby t3kboi - Controllers
Hello, first post! Hope this is the right forum: I have a new Sanguino board I have begun developing with, and its great. Previously have used Atmel AVR and Pics at assembler level. First issue with Sanguino has come up however, and before I get hefty with the troubleshooting, I thought I would ask if: a) I am doing something wrong and foolishly have bad expectations b) Anyone else has encoby t3kboi - Controllers
