I think the same one as you but I was looking into the full graphic one. I think I might need to throttle back my spending on this printer. I am pretty sure I more than doubled the original cost of the printer on stuff just to play around with. lol</p><p>Thanks for posting your software repository. I got everything working with my fw tonight. I think I am going to add some code for a few other switches. I was thinking on for a door switch that would act like a washing machine. When the door opens , the print pauses. It would be a little bit of a safety feature at least. It could probably use the same code that you put in fie the filament alarm. </p><p>Lawsy, </p><p>Thanks you the config. I saw what I did wrong almost immediately. Some times it takes a small reminder to put me back on track.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I am just upgraded to a mega 2560 with ramps 1.4. I had one A4988 go bad on me and I am now on a spare. I have 3 more but they are on my sanguinololu. </p><p>I was looking to switching to <a href="http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/2132">http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/2132</a> DRV8825 stepper drivers. They can do 1/32 micro stepping and depending which version can handle steppers that draw up to 2.2A. </p><p>Has anyone used these? It looks like they are a drop in replacement for the A4988 on a ramps board. Is that right? Is having 2x the X-Y resolution helpful or just unnecessary? I would think that ~88 steps per MM is more accurate than the stretch of the belt.</p><p>My VRef Settings should be(?):<br />X axis: .555v<br />Y axis: .65v<br />Z axis: .625v<br />Extruder: 0.24v</p><br /><p>Also, has anyone upgraded to the most current revision of Marlin that is using the RAMPS 1.4. I finally have mine setup correctly I believe but it would be nice to compare pin.h and configuration.h with someone else.</p>]]></description>
