Re: XYZ Da Vinci Filament Counter Resetter

Many Many thanks for your efforts and posts. I got one of your resetters which will be put to use soon. I have been wanting to get some advice from someone experienced in this area. Can you recommend to a neophyte what would be the best way or best websites I should use to educate myself as regards programing, arduino, hardware and management of 3D printing. I have absolutely no background in these areas or writing code though I am very motivated now to learn. I don't even know what type of language is being used. What's the best one to learn? I have checked into repetier, slcr 3, etc.. but I haven't found out where I have to go to get a good grounding in the programs. Can you recommend any books or sites?

I put together a TwoUp kit--I made oscilloscopes, etc.. pre-teen-- but I have absolutely no idea how to navigate all the stuff needed to tweek a printer and use the software successfully. I have no history at all with PCs and am at the very beginning of that intimidating bell curve that always pops up with computers. So If you have the inclination and time, any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks.

Re: XYZ Da Vinci Filament Counter Resetter

I'm having a little trouble with making the resetter, I'm using an arduino nano, I think I have it wired correctly, and I've uploaded the recommended program, but I'm sufficiently new at working with arduinos that I'm not sure. The leads have alligator clips running to the housing that has the pins in it. I've uploaded how I have it wired, if I need to I can use an arduino mega that I also have.  http://soliforum.com/i/?0Rl9dDD.jpg

Re: XYZ Da Vinci Filament Counter Resetter

I have a davinci 1.0A which i received yesterday and it did its updates(damn).  Am i screwed?  I was going to order one of these but i cannot find any concrete answer as to whether it will work on my machine or not. 

Any guidance appreciated.

If it wont work just flash the firmware to Repetier .92 and use Repetier Host . Then you can use any brand filaments.

Would there happen to be something somewhere that explains this process?  Do you mean if i do this i dont even require the resetter?  is it still as easy to use as the xyzware?
