			<description><![CDATA[<p>In OPs first post, he posts a link to Anthems RAMPS journey.&nbsp; In Anthems Thread, he posts a link to his Marlin repository on gitlab.&nbsp; There is has a complete Marlin source ( probably rather old ), along with his config files.&nbsp; That should get you going.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In case anyone wants to connect up the XYZ filament sensor, below is a schematic/pinout of the Da Vinci Mini W&#039;s filament runout sensor board. </p><p>There are actually 2 sensors, just a standard optical sensor indicating the presence of filament or not and a rotary encoder that will toggle output as the filament moves. The encoder&#039;s not high resolution - only toggling for every 180 degrees of rotation. I don&#039;t know what this equates to in extrusion length. </p><p>The PCB includes what I assume to be a buffer on the encoder circuit. Can&#039;t actually make out any markings, so I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s 5v tolerant (3.3v measured at VCC from the XYZ mainboard). Current limiting and pullup resistors are already present, but are obviously sized for 3.3v.</p><p>Apologies for the hasty schematic, hopefully someone will find it useful.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>What’s the chances with all these conversions someone had a functional hotend logic board for the extruder module. I desperately need one and am afraid what xyz is gonna quote me for a price. It’s a mini w+ but it appears that the minis and jr all seem to use this same hotend<br />Logic board. Please respond if you have one. My kids are dieing to be able to print again. I don’t mind paying. I’m getting an ender 3 for my person use and moving forward with the hobby but this machine is brilliant for kids.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys.</p><p>I just finished my conversion of a dead Mini to BTT SKR v1.4 Turbo. It uses TMC2208 stepper drivers.<br />I have hollowed out the bottom and put the board in it. The adapter and the fan duct are from Thingiverse, see attachments.<br />I also turned the bed into a heatbed by glueing 4 10W resitors under them connected them in parallel to the HB connector on the board. I also attached a thermistor. With that, I consistently get 75°C which is perfect for PLA and PETG. <br />I have installed a BTT TFT24 in front to get some control directly on the machine, without having to go a browser for OctoPrint.<br />I removed the NFC board and antenna and installed a RPI 3 in its place. I still have to install the Pi camera and the filament sensors, but everything works well so far including auto bed leveling.</p><p>Thanks to anthem and Triple_S for their work, which made this project possible ;-)</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>You probable can power drivers with 24 volt but the machine should run fine at 12 volts. I have 4 printers only one is set up for 24 volts the other 3 run fine at 12. Also I have never seen any need to modify my ramps boards the work fine off the shelf.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey I´m so thankful someone responded! For the endstops, thank you, I will try more tomorrow. </p><p>Am i supposed to an a diode? i just replaced the diode beneathe the driver with a 7806C regulator. <br />But on my current RAMPS I switched IN and OUT of that regulator by mistake. This must shorted my board.</p><p>For my steppers, i read something in the RepRap Wiki about powering drivers with 24 volts. There said i have to bend two pins of the driver that they are not connected to the RAMPS. Should i have done that? I haven´t done this because i got a bit confused. Triple_S did not mention something like that.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>First of all no need to apologize !! Humans make mistake that is one way we learn. <br />I have been an electronics tech for over ten years AND STILL MAKE STUPID MISTAKES FROM TIME TO TIME.&nbsp; </p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>my LCD only works when powered over usb.</p></blockquote></div><p>So sounds like it is working</p><p>IMHO the first step of setting up a new machine is setting it up with the computer <br />I use repiter host but the are other programs like pronterface. </p><p>This will allow to troubleshoot end stops , move and home axis one by one level the bed etc . Much easier than the lcd. The lcd is fine for running prints&nbsp; and minor tuning . Also if chitcat is set up&nbsp; you can change firmware setting through&nbsp; your host software. </p><p>Your stock ends tops may of may not be compatible with ramps. . or you may need to switch wiring. Or you may just have to flip you logic in firmware. </p><p>So set up ramps on your computer </p><p>send the m119 command to the board and read endstop states.<br />trigger the stops one by one and resent the command after the trigger and see if thinks change actually faster to do than explain. </p><p>hope this helps. </p><p>Based on what you have told us something may be shorted out . If you added a diode they do have polarity&nbsp; it could be in backwards. <br />The good thing is ramps and arduinos are cheap enough you can always buy a new set and start from scratch. </p><p>Hope this helps.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, want to apologise for anything stupid i have done or will do. But i do need some help.<br />So first, i suppose i stupidly screwed up again and now my LCD only works when powered over usb. Otherwhise the backlite comes on and the LCD stays blank.</p><p>Second, i just not be able to move any axis of my Mini. On the Lcd it says &quot;Endstop X&quot; (or y and z) so are my endstops all broken?</p><p>I feel so lost right now so if anyone have a good hint or a solution for me i´ll be so glad.</p>]]></description>
