Finally made some progress and got the firmware flashed to the Mega. I open Repetier to hopefully start calibrating the printer. The printer says it connects, but I get no responses from the manual controls. If I try to turn on the heater bed or extruder, the log at the bottom says no start command- forcing start. Then shortly after I get an error that says communication timeout-resend bufferby Lancer3D - Prusa i3 and variants
Thanks guys, We have followed all the necessary steps and when we try to upload it in arduino we get an error compilation error and it says compilation terminated.by Lancer3D - RAMPS Electronics
Thanks for the reply! I think the diode is installed, but we are not near the printer again until Monday. We are running Windows. When the USB is plugged in the computer makes the audible, but the controller does not show up in the control panel. We did verify that the serial port on the computer is the same in Repetier and also thebaud rates are the Sam too. I assumed this was more plug and plby Lancer3D - RAMPS Electronics
Thanks for the reply Wafflejock. I didn't see the reply button, so now my response is a new comment on the thread. Nothing like a newbie. The LCD on gets the backlight with letter blocks, no writing. I'll assume the 5v regulator is toast, but is that on the mega or ramps? I'm pretty sure we got the wiring right. Forgive the ignorance to all this programming/software stuff. My son and I had noby Lancer3D - Prusa i3 and variants
Thanks for the reply Wafflejock. The LCD powers on, but only the backlight. No writing just blank letter blocks. So I will assume the 5v regulator is toast. Is that on the Ramps or the mega board? Forgive my ignorance to the software/programming aspect. I did not know the Marlin had to be flashed to the mega. I assumed the Arduino had the Marlin on it. Can you help this clueless gather and sonby Lancer3D - Prusa i3 and variants
Please help. Printer responds to nothing when connected to computer. Also when 12v power cord is plugged in, no LEDs light up. If I plug in the USB the LCD turns on, the orange LEDs blink and the Mega gets a green LED. The 12v power suppy has a green LED when plugged in. Ideas?by Lancer3D - Prusa i3 and variants
Brand new Folgertech Pusa 2020 I3. Finished build, downloaded Repetier and Arduino software onto computer. If I just plug the printer in, the Ramps board and the Arduino have no lights illuminated, but the power supply has the green LED illuminated. If I plug in the USB, the Rams has orange light that flashes and I can see the green LED illuminate for the Arduino. The LCD will also power on, butby Lancer3D - RAMPS Electronics
