yea, go back to whatever firmware you where using.. Sprinter doesnt have any LCD supportby Dust - RAMPS Electronics
you cant compile for a mega2560 and expect it to work on a mega1284p ... the second eg is what you want, that error is saying It compiled fine but it cant talk to the boot loader. Either the 1284p chip is dead or doesnt have a boot loader, or the autoreset jumper is off. just leave the auto reset jumper on for now...by Dust - Sanguino(lolu)
You either have a dead controller chip, or a blank one that needs a firmware or your tring to talk to the board at the wrong baud rate Try a few baud rates, will normally be either 250000 or 115200. Nb some machines will just will not talk at 250000... failing that its time try to work out how to compile the code and upload new firmware... (im presuming the chip is ok, and has a boot rom bby Dust - Sanguino(lolu)
m503, its its been configured to reply.. will tell you most settings, but not thermistor types and what axis or endstops have been invertedby Dust - Reprappers
The red led on this board is just wired to power. as long as it has power the led is on. Smoke is a really bad sign... I presuming you mean c16 (it willbe labled on the pcb picture here ) if so thats really weirds as its just between the 5v and gnd lines... or are you meaning c12 also just between the 12v and gnd... The display would not work unless the firmware was configured to use it..by Dust - Sanguino(lolu)
there is primitive reverse protection... thats what d2 is all about. So check that d2 is not a short. D2 tends to die when you do this...by Dust - RAMPS Electronics
re Z... numbers look good... Im wondering though if its looking at those numbers? If you have used the eeprom, it will use the numbere stored in eeprom over what is in the the firmware check what m503 says (display eeprom settings)by Dust - General

It looks like its should be standard ramps compatable... But there is no way to know if they have changed any pin definitions till you try it.by Dust - General
You have to do serious work to do that. thats why people designed new boards. it was easier Main issue is voltage. Due is 3.3v while ramps and mega are 5v logic levels. so you have to replace the MOSFET, rewire the power and add in a eeprom (if you want to save to real eeprom) Also I wouldnt take a crap on a $7 ramps. bad connetors, tracks two thin for the current, inferior MOSFETS, shortsby Dust - RAMPS Electronics
normaly its two much current been drawn from the pc (ie a short somewhere) Or in this case a short from 12v to 5v somewhere.. most likely a dead or pugged in backwards pololu module. But with these ultra cheap ramps kits with zero checking... could be anything Basic diagnosises remove all pololu modules, power it on, does it still do it? if so bad ramps, lok for bridged solder joints,by Dust - RAMPS Electronics
@0backbone0 "if i am not misstaken, there are Servos for auto leveling in the corners of the bed (hence the name)." You are very wrong. All it is is a probe that measures several points on the bed, then software transforms the object your printing so that the object is flat on the bed. Thus the print is level on the bed, no matter what angle the bed is really on. But as pointed out, this willby Dust - Firmware - mainstream and related support
The detla design is very very scalable See [3dprint.com] as for manuals there are a bunch eg follow that as general guide but scale as needed the biggere you go, the more solid you have make it, so it can get expensive fast.. 40 what? mm? meters? babaric inches?by Dust - General

well I make the assumption that the first extruder has all 3 jumpers on it so it doing 1/16 microstepping so the second extruder needs to be set to 1/8 microstepping. jumper Yes/No step size 1 2 3 yes yes no 1/8 step yes yes yes 1/16 step So you need to remove the 3rd jumper ie the blue jumper on extruder e1 in this image And just checking the math for compleatnessby Dust - Reprappers
upgrade your chip to a 1284p for twice the ram, if its a DIP eg If not, upgrade to a board with more ram Standard ramps, or any of the many varianats as long as they dont have a 644p. If your feeling really adventurious try a smoothieboard, they are wonderful.by Dust - Firmware - mainstream and related support

take annother look at richrap page.. he printed it like tooth pase, ie it doesnt mix colours, it just sqezes two or three out the nozzel and they come out like toothpasted striped filiment Currently you cannot mix filiments like paint or ink.by Dust - General
you need a hot end with 3 peek tubes. there is no gcode for this yet, he 'improvised' a hack where by he changed his steps/mm. ie two filaments, two extruders, half the steps/mm on both extrders to make up the same volume of plastic. Same with 3... 1/3 the normal step/mm to three extruders to get the orriginal volume. There is still work being done on this. Currently most firmwares do notby Dust - General
Didnt look very hard at all did we.... // For Inverting Stepper Enable Pins (Active Low) use 0, Non Inverting (Active High) use 1 but get some pololus... the 1.2 can only do 1/2 steps, it will jerk like a mad thing.

The SL 644p board have a auto reset jumper. Check if you have one of these and its installed. Without that computer cant reset the board and run the boot loader. Its between the pololu modules and the cpu. center of this imageby Dust - General
also If you dont know the intimate details of your printer, eg theremister types, controller board type etc Its not advisable you upgrade your firmware.. you will spend a month working out the orriginal settings.by Dust - Firmware - mainstream and related support
There doesnt seem to be any link to that relay module, but there are chips on it.. I suspect its opticaly isolated or otherwise protected. Ie coils are not directly on the IO pin.by Dust - RAMPS Electronics
