Finally grow a pair and flash my 1.0A, All went fine, but now the first hichup. I followed this guide ( http://voltivo.com/forum/davinci-peersu … s-printing ) I just did the cold leveling but when I try to move to the next step (hot leveling) when I try to choose manual bed leveling, nothing happen... aqny help would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance.
Dont try to use any leveling that the firmware guides through. Just use the manual method that is stickied in this section.
Ok tried to do the levelling as per the sticky but it look like nothing is heating up... on the LCD for the extruder it show def... I noticed when I start the printer the extruder temp show-11c before showing def...
Ok found out if I warm up the extruder with my mini heat gun, I was able to print my test lego... frikkin pita if you ask me....
There is a safety feature in the firmware called cold extrusion prevention. Unless the extruders are hot the motors will not run. This is to avoid grinding filament and causing jams. So you will need to get your heaters working to be able to make those motors turn.
the heaters are working, it's the initial value at room temp for the extruder that is completely off... I also noticed that I cannot set the temp higher than 180c cause I will get a decoupled message... I know the extruder is hotter than that, I'm printing with PETG which with the stock firmware, was not printing below 230c... just need to find how to get the extruder temp reading right...
What thermistors tables are you using for the extruders in your firmware?
I put the 8 in config.h before flashing... i think default was 5...
It should be 5 with a stock extruder.
not stock extruder E3D V6
It should still be 5 to my knowledge. The issue is the Da Vinci has a resistor on the main board that changes the value of the thermistor. However both the stock and E3D hotends use the same standard 100K thermistor.
ok is there a way just to set it back to 5 without reflashing the whole thing?

Nope, you have to flash. Once it has been done once it is as easy as turning the machine on.
so I will need to short j37 again right?

No, once the firmware is installed the machine is seen differently. All you need to do is make sure no programs are open using the machine. Then open the folder for your firmware and double click the file Repetier.INO. It should open in Arduino. Make your changes and then upload. That is all there is to it. That jumper shorting was a one time thing to erase the stock firmware which makes the machine be seen in a different way from Repetier. Stock firmware used a different communication setup.
when I try this, it give me an error concerning the com port...

ok i think i got it... now need to learn how the bitch behave... is it normal behavior that you have to home all before each print? I'm using S3D and usually at start the bed is down and work from there... now if I start a print with the bed down, the print will start but the bed will stay down...
now the frikkin stuff won't stick to the bed...
You need to use glue stick or hairspray on the bed. The system will not home at the start of a print unless you add the command to do so to your start gcode.
I know!, it's just before I set to table 5, I was able to get the PETG to stick, now with table 5 active the initial temp seems right but I need to figure out the correct temp for this filament...
And you were right, just for the noise part, it worth the upgrade.... it also look like it unleashed Simplify 3D too...
