Topic: Da Vinci- Ramps mod- Jibberish in Repetier host, no control over print

I've finished doing a basic hookup (no LEDs/autolevel/fil. sensor) of the Da Vinci 1.0, changing the board from stock to RAMPS 1.4, and turned it on. However, when i connect the board to the computer, and try to connect to it via Repetier-host, i get a bunch of jibberish, such as

15:30:43.198 : Communication timeout - reset send buffer block
15:30:49.111 : ??=???W=???=????9?E????q?????????????9????9?
15:30:49.115 : ??9??????(???,??W???(???,??????,???,??????,
15:30:49.115 : ??(??9?

This is running a version of Marlin provided by Carl_m1968. any help?

Set your comport speed/baudrate on the printers LCD to 25000 then try to connect again.

Then open the firmware in Arduino then click on the configuration.h tab and set the baudrate to 25000 then upload to the device.

Re: Da Vinci- Ramps mod- Jibberish in Repetier host, no control over print

Apparently it was my fault, i still had the baud set to the 230540 as on the da vinci or whatever it is. However, now the printer is not noticing the endstops when it homes. I have my z axis endstop hooked to the far right set of pins, and it lights up, and the light stops when the endstop it crossed, but doesnt stop the z axis stepper.

What do you mean far right? Where are you getting your wiring diagram from?

The Da Vinci does not use any of the endstop MAX inputs they are all MIN. Also if you are using my compiled version of Marlin it is set up for Optical end stops only. It will not work with mechanical endstops without further tweaking.
