Re: Where/how to specify the Serial Port in platformio.ini - 7 weeks ago

I renamed the folder to REARM, made certain there was a firmware.cur in the root, and removed the previously added upload_port = entry from the platformio.ini fie. Everything now uploads automatically as it should. Thanks for the help!!!

Out of town until Monday. I'll check that then. THANKS!

Re: Where/how to specify the Serial Port in platformio.ini - 8 weeks ago

I added upload_port = COM8 to the env section of the platformio.ini file and it didn't help. I changed it to upload_port = E which is the drive letter of the sd card in the printer, still no help. It is not a really big deal to copy the bin file from .pio folder to the E drive, but it would be nice if I could get the upload to work.

I switched to Pronterface and it works fine, so you are correct, it was the terminal I was using. Thanks again.

My auto build and upload fails to find the 3D Printer attached to COM8. Where and how do I tell the auto build/upload what port the printer is on?

Auto Pid Tune fails with semaphore timeout. - 8 weeks ago

I'm trying to do an auto pid tune on E0 but it keeps failing with a semaphore timeout. This is Marlin 2.1.1 Here is the output from the terminal using M303 E0 S220 C5 ->N95 M105*27 <-ok T:19.84 /0.00 B:20.00 /0.00 @:0 B@:0 ->N96 M105*24 <-ok T:19.69 /0.00 B:20.16 /0.00 @:0 B@:0 ->N97 M105*25 <-ok T:19.84 /0.00 B:20.16 /0.00 @:0 B@:0 ->N98 M105*22 <-ok T:19.69 /0.00

Re: What adjustments will stop flaring at corners - 5 months ago

I'm not sure what a calibration suite is. Can you point me to an example? Also, I thought things like acceleration were set in Marlin Firmware, not the slicer. I need a bit ore understanding of what to do.

I have an ender 3 S1 Pro. I have carefully adjusted the x,y, and z axis mechanically and all the steps. What firmware adjustments might help reduce the corner flaring that I am getting?

Filament Runout with USB print? - 6 months ago

I have been trying to get the filament runout sensor working with my Chiron running marlin 2.1.1. I saw something the configuration.h file that makes me think that it only works if you are printing from media (not USB prints). Here is that text: * IMPORTANT: Runout will only trigger if Marlin is aware that a print job is running. * Marlin knows a print job is running when: * 1. Running a pri

Re: Help Configuring Dual Z endstops for SKR 1.4 Turbo - 6 months ago

Yep, I clipped the pins on all 5 drivers and now the whole think g is working. Such a shame to have to permanently mutilate a driver to get it to work. In the future, if I want to try sensorless, I will need 5 new drivers. Yuck.

Re: Help Configuring Dual Z endstops for SKR 1.4 Turbo - 6 months ago

Okay, just read something about cutting a pin off the 2209's or the endstops won't work correctly. Really! Cutting off one of the pins? Is that really necessary? On all of them?

Re: Help Configuring Dual Z endstops for SKR 1.4 Turbo - 6 months ago

The wiring checks out okay at the board connector end and the pin mapping in the btt_skr_V1.4.h looks like this: #elif ENABLED(Z_MULTI_ENDSTOPS) #ifndef Z_MIN_PIN #define Z_MIN_PIN P1_27 // Z-STOP #endif #ifndef Z_MAX_PIN #define Z_MAX_PIN P1_00 // PWRDET #endif And according to the schematic, those are correct for the SKR 1.4 turbo I

Re: Help Configuring Dual Z endstops for SKR 1.4 Turbo - 6 months ago

Here are my current configurations for configuration.h and configuration_adv.h. Unfortunately, when I home the Z axis, tripping one or both z endstops doesn't stop the movement. Both of the endstop switches are configured with NC connections. What am I doing wrong?

Help Configuring Dual Z endstops for SKR 1.4 Turbo - 6 months ago

I'm building a 3d Printer with 2 z motors and 2 z endstops. The z axis is moving up and down as expected, so the motors and drivers in Marlin 2.1.1 should be set correctly. This system uses the SKR 1.4 Turbo board and I need help with 2 items. 1: How to I configure the dual z endstops in firmware? I think the following is where the changes are supposed to be made but I don't understand what thi

MMcLure you are correct. Although they look the same, they are not. I found a pair that read correctly on both. Thank you.

Wrong temp reading on heater sensor - 2 years ago

I have a DIY printer with Marlin 2.0, an Arduino MEGA 2560 and a RAMPS 1.4. It has two of the same temperature sensors in it that read differently by about 11 degrees. If the bed reads about 20 degrees (which is the actual room temp), the extruder reads about 9 degrees. I tried a 3rd sensor in the heater with the same result. Is there a way to adjust the temp reading up by 11 degrees in the f

How to edit stl files - 5 years ago

There are millions of free stl files on the web for 3D printing. There are many times when I would like to start with an existing stl and modify it in some way. I haven't found a way to do that with the tools I have. Available tools: Windows 10 Sketchup Designspark mechanical (this is great BTW) Freecad OpenScad I am open to using other tools that are free or inexpensive.

Re: Use the full graphic controller without a printer - 6 years ago

The list of constructors for different displays is exactly the same in those two examples, and I suspect they would be the same in all the examples. There are 66 of them and my file compare utility says they are identical. Yesterday, I spent about an hour and a half compiling and uploading each and every one of the 66 available constructors (some of which don't actually compile). I know that was

Re: Use the full graphic controller without a printer - 6 years ago

Thanks for the information on the pin assignments. I made some progress last night. I installed the Marlin software and the display works. That means all the HW and Connections are okay. In order to get the display working without the Marlin software, I installed the Hello World example from the u8glib Examples directory. Haven't got that working yet so it it is something in the configuration.
