Guide for how to get the TechZone Monolithic Electronics to work with Sprinter FirmWare

The ThechZone Monolithics electronics have been around for a while but up until now never got a decent working tool-chain. NOW it works with Kliment`s FirmWare Sprinter so it can be used with the Pronterface host software also made by Kliment.

1- To get this to work you have to get rid of the tip management A/D converter, Thermocoupler and the network cable and in stead use a thermistor connected to the 2 pins right next to the USB connector shown on image below.

Polarity is no issue so it doesnt mather what way you put the thermistor connector.

2- To power the hot end heater you now have to use the fan connector on the motherboard shown on the image below.

Polarity is no issue here either.

3- Now for the FirmWare upload you can use the Arduino IDE to upload the Sprinter FirmWare to the board. If you need help to upload you can take a look at how it is done in the video below.

To be able to print with this setup you can use use Pronterface or maybe the Preclomplied version of Pronterface for Windows with SFACT.

If you want to ask me questions, please contact me on the RepRap IRC... if im not on line there... LEAVE ME ALONE!... he he :-)

Guide to get the Gen 3 remix with gen3 PLUS board to work with Sprinter and Pronterface may come here later on..

Stay tuned...
