<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Beta of updated firmware, improved Pause/Filament Chg, etc]]> 2015-03-14T04:27:37Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/2470/beta-of-updated-firmware-improved-pausefilament-chg-etc/ <![CDATA[Re: Beta of updated firmware, improved Pause/Filament Chg, etc]]> I've got a CTC duel extruder firmware problem.  Am I in the right place?  I was printing one or two items a day before the filament started curling on the nozzle and dragging print jobs all over the hot plate, so I went online and saw a YouTube on firmware up dates, hence the story goes .......
It all started on a warm and cozy night and a dirty extruder issue, then it snow balled into a 7.4 Mighyboard firmware install that locked up my printer.  I get no response  from the printer, there's nothing on the LCD and the plate is hot!
I tried to reset the board through "Replicator 040" but got no where.

Any help out there?
Thanks for reading
Mayhem

I'm low on stock right now, but toybuilderlabs still has stock. The website is tunell.us

I just received a SD2 w/ printrboard revE, and stumbled upon this thread while looking for SD card and LCD support. I may be late however I noticed you said you don't have a printrboard. If you need help to solve any issues with the printrboard, I'll be happy to test anything and give you feedback.

By the way, what LCD are you using in your youtube video? Thx!

I did some work the other week on it, but still need to cleanup and push the changes. If used in a pure Repetier-Host driven environment, it works beautifully... but trying to cater for both standalone LCD and RepetierHost with the same code is just a PITA...

I also broke the SD Card reading, which I've fixed..

But it does 'work' - just has the occasionally quirk to be aware of...

I'll update here when I push the code couple of days or so...

Did you ever get this M600 figured out?

I want to get this up and running on my Solidoodle 3...

So I went to the indicated GIT repository and downloaded the files.

I am a PC user (on this PC, XP 32-bit - soon upgrading to Win7 64 bit...)

Following the instructions, it says to unzip the files and modify the configuration.h file, but there is no configuration.h file in the .rar file! 

Even  though I couldn't find configuration.h, I thought I'd see if I could 'upload the firmware' but this really isn't clear either... I'm looking at some Arduino interface and it isn't even close to clear on how to upload firmware. Do I even use Arduinio.exe? or am I in the wrong spot?

uh, so... Could I please get some help? The other colors of filament are coming soon and I'd be more than glad to test it out for you!

I think I have an AT90 somewhere though... so lemme see...

It should, I'll have to recheck the code I previously committed. But thats what it does *now* anyway wink I was referring more to what needs to be done via Repetier (if you don't have an LCD Panel....). But yes, "Resume Print" should do what it says on the Box big_smile

I need to cleanup some stuff, and I'll re-commit what I have now anyway in the next day or so. Come the weekend, I'll pull my finger out and finish it off... I was planning on doing the hot-end shootout, but since I no longer have a Solidoodle OEM hotend, its probably greatly diminished in immediate relevance and it seems the firmware is now more relevant to more people smile

Nice setup on the filament switch smile

Moving the extruder should be a non issue - before it releases the head it saves the last print position. an M601 will return it to the correct location - ideally this will be a menu option off the LCD.. and as for Repetier-Host... not sure on how I'll tackle that bit besides the present advice of 'Issue M601 before clicking Continue'.

LCD Buzzer yes, it should work, but I had to tweak some stuff there which has meant its kind of flakey at the moment. In programming terms, the previous Buzzer Code was 'blocking' - not what you want when you are relying on the execution of further code.  It'll be back next upload to GitHub.

I need to use the other hole anyways which requires me to move some cables. I just haven't felt like rewiring everything.

the tab might have broken because of the weight. I am going to reprint with my black filament. It seems to he a bit more stout and better suited for the application.

2n2r5, your cable chain sags a lot? Is there a lot of wiggle in your fit between the links or is it because the SD3 has more links?
