QuoteAx 32 bit, I'd go smoothieboard. The 5XC version has outputs for 5 Steppers, therefore could run the Diamond easily. That and it's much easier to configure than marlin as it's all done via a configuration file on the SD Card and there's no re-flashing the firmware any time you make a change. It's change the setting in the config file and it automatically reloads. 16 Bit, Rumba is probablyby worthidlj - Prusa i3 and variants
Thanks for the quick response Ax, ant advice/ opinions greatly welcomed. Which boards would you recommend? Cheers, Davidby worthidlj - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi folks, Hope everyone is enjoying the festive holidays (if so inclined or not). I've had the printer working well since my last issue and now looking to upgrade a couple of bits. I backed the Diamond Hotend Extruder on kickstarter and got the Rumba board; but naivety on my part meant I mounted this board instead of the printers original MKS Base 1.3 (which I'm still using now).

Thanks to @Ax and @gwc2795 for their reaponses, and also jcarber who I had PM'd. I started from scratch and still had the same issue and couldn't find the fuse644 settings. It transpires what I needed to do was invert the endstops (i.e. chage 'false' to 'true' in the configuration.h) I had originally tried this before starting from scratch and hadn't worked, but after starting from the beginniby worthidlj - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi Folks, I've had help from members before in setting up my printer (large bed version, MKS 1.3 Board) and I had it working for a while and made a few decent prints. However I had a go at configuring the step counts of the motors using the YACO print file and updated the configuration.h file and uploaded it through Arduino. Since then whenever I turned the printer on I could turn on the bed aby worthidlj - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi guys, Read through the thread a couple of times and I'm sure the issues your having will likely happen when I get beyond my first fo-par. I've finished putting the frame together and wired everything up; I connected the USB cable to my laptop (Windows 10- will see how this pans out soon enough) and the LCD screen comes on. At the top of the LCD screen, next to the thermometer symbol, it readby worthidlj - Prusa i3 and variants
