Whitout QTR-Sensor calibration needed.
Whitout EEPROM saving (this was limitet on 100000).
Servotypes can changed directly with new ServoValues.
No other Files needed.

Reflash firmware. Firmware is likely damaged. Happened to me several times.
This thing is bulletproof, should work fine.

Only a certain width is recorded no matter how many times it is set. Does anyone have answer? https://youtu.be/FA64sn4eMHU

Error compilling for board arduino  nano... any suggestions  on how to fix it

And yes its all plugged in  properly

I assume its in the same Arduino app which troubleshooting was done through, right? I got a copy of v11 to load but don't know how to use Arduino well.

I had that too. For what ever reason firmware gets corrupted so i had to reflash it my self at least 2 times in the past.

Oh i see. photosensor does not register correctly.
Did you calibrate ?
use piece of filament to calibrate, not a screw driver or anything else.
Clear filament can cause issues but not likely.
Make sure filament is passing at the correct distance from the sensors casting good shadow from the laser.
Laser does work, right ?
And it does point a straight line directly at the sensors right ?
and filament is in between them casting the shadow on the sensors ?
Check the wiring.
I had wiring issues. Pins are cheap, they corrode overtime so spray some alcohol on them, work them in an out couple of times (power disconnected obviously) dry and try again.


Sorry, have to go with the "did you plug it in" method sometimes lol

I did calibrate it and from the screenshot I believe it worked. The loop pos value changes as I move the filament across the photocells which makes me think the calibration, laser, and filament are not the issue. The filament is casting a strong shadow on the photocells. The laser is emitting a strong, straight, red line which lines up directly with the photocells. The wiring matches the instructions. Cleaned the pins with some 91% ISO and the motor still will not turn the spool in auto mode. Could there be an issue with the firmware?

I am not sure if motor has to spin or not at this point.

The hall sensor is working as expected and moving the filament guide when in manual mode. The problem is in auto mode. The filament sensor which tracks the "droop" of the filament as it gets spooled is not triggering the motor to spool the filament. When the reading is above 1500 the motor should turn the spool to bring the filament up so the photocells are sending a value below 1500. The motor which spools the filament never turns on in auto mode.

I am having difficulty getting my Filawinder to work properly. I believe the issue is with the filament sensor to motor control. I have entered troubling shoot mode and tracked the output. All the inputs are functioning as they should. The filament sensor is feeding the board readings from 0-3000 but the motor will not turn the spool at any point. I attached the Serial Monitor's output showing the sensor data. Is this a software issue? A hardware issue? Any thoughts to a solution are appreciated.
Regards,
Matt

One last question, I have a bunch of unused STP55NF06L MOSFETs here (replaced from RAMPS boards). Can I use them instead of IRLB8721? Or perhaps IRF1404, which is easier to find here?
