I was looking for help from someone that posted something similar but they never ended up coming back to help us. That's what made me try to figure it out and post here. Hopefully it helps more people but one thing is for sure; DaVinci needs to improve their stock feeding system.

How are your prints looking with the new motor?

That was quicker than I expected. If you look at that picture you can see the pins inserted into the connector, they are ordered from left to right    blue  red   green   black
That's coming from the motor to the factory plug. I just wrapped white electrical tape over the solder joints to protect them from crossing with another wire. If that doesn't work for some reason it doesn't take much time to figure out what order will spin the motor in the right direction.

If I ever find the correct connector I'll switch those pins out for that.


HyruleJedi86,

These instructions were terrific. I got my filament stepper in and not a peep out of it since. Thank you very much for the help.

it say under system version 2.2.7 smile

what i mean by extra cables.
i mean that if they had the sensor stuff as me, there must be some cables hanging.
But they just removed them tongue

anyway. i just bought this from ebay smile (left hand)

It was my understanding that version 2.2.7 and above you would not be able to used hacked tags.

Not sure what you mean by extra cables?

my firmware is 2.2.7

And i do hack my NFC tag's if that is what u mean with ''chips'' ?

i got the password for one of the original NFC tags and i use my phone to change the length on fill thats on the spool, and that work grate smile

Hi guys.

This is a grate post !
and i am going to do the same smile

But i just have 1 question.

with my old (original) feeding-system ther is some kind of a contact and a little fotocell something.
i can't see that on yours ? and cant see the cables.

Can i just leave them hanging  ?

Or have you updated the firmware ?

i have the XYZ jr.1 smile

Hope u guys want to help me out smile

Sorry if this is a dumb question hmm


Abe,

What version of firmware do you have on your JR? If you have anything lower than 2.2.7 "DO NOT UPGRADE IT!". If you intend to hack your chips they will only work on firmware lower than 2.2.7.

Noticed anything negative happening due to the removal of it.

That looks like a very useful program the only issue I'd have is I don't have an NFC reader on my computer just on my phone. That's what I've been using with an NFC program to rewrite the tags.

I am using the xyz tags but I don't have the programming experience to know how to sniff the passwords and modify anything. What I can do is take a couple chips that the password has been discovered by someone else who has that ability and rewrite the remaining filament length. I can't do anything for you in that department though.


I was not asking for programming help. I was asking if you might be interested in a program to make updating easier? I wrote this and have shared it with people who were interested. This is my way of contributing back to the community. See attached.

BTW, are you still using XYZ Tags? If so, I do have some software that makes updating them a lot easier, but you still need to have the password.
