			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I switched my MKS board after it burnt <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /> and now I am setting up marlin with my RAMPS 1.4+Arduino Mega Board.<br />So I have some problems:<br /></p><ul></ul><p>my printer is a sunhokey prusa i3 bought from <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-Upgraded-Quality-High-Precision-Reprap-Prusa-i3-DIY-3d-Printer-kit-with-2-Rolls-Filament/2026704108.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.o69Sts">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-Up … 0.0.o69Sts</a>, the first problem I have is the full lcd (with controller) shows blinking question marks on the XYZ axes meaning the endstops aren&#039;t hitting and when I send the M119 command I get all endstops as open. I noticed actually that now the X and Y axes are at their home but the Z axis is not at home, the LCD shows &quot;Endstops Z&quot;, maybe it is the opposite way for me?<br /></p><ul></ul><p>I think what causes the following problems is the motors getting too much/too low current, the Polulu DRV8825 heatsink getting a bit hot but I don&#039;t know how to solve it.<br /></p><ul></ul><p>The x axis moves fine, however when I try to return it back it doesn&#039;t move(only a little bit, it seems like it is hard for the motor to move to the other way) and I actually get something like: &quot;echo: endstops hit: x:9.83&quot;<br /></p><ul></ul><p>The Z axis only goes up, but I don&#039;t get the message like I get for the X axis, it just doesn&#039;t go down.<br /></p><ul></ul><p>The Y axis is jumping and moving weird, if I move it +10 a couple of times, sometimes it will go to the right direction and sometimes it will go to the wrong direction, and the belt is jumping insanely.<br />My connections are like <a href="http://www.makersking.com/eBay/Items/DB106/ramps-1.4-schema-1920px.jpg">http://www.makersking.com/eBay/Items/DB … 1920px.jpg</a>, a pic is <a href="http://fastpic.ru/view/89/2017/0408/be99b62d46b2861144f8c9206bee7275.jpg.html">http://fastpic.ru/view/89/2017/0408/be9 … 5.jpg.html</a>. I will add videos if needed. My configuration file is <a href="https://pastebin.com/0hHLpMcS">https://pastebin.com/0hHLpMcS</a>, note that somehow my steps_per_unit values is very very low, but if I move it 100 steps, it actually moves about 96mm so I don&#039;t know why it is so low yet close to reality.<br />I think that&#039;s all the issues I got and I gave all the information needed, I will add something if it will hit my mind, and please ask for more information if needed <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></content>
