Topic: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Hi everyone,

I'm currently having a little trouble with getting my ramps 1.4 to work.

I've hooked everything up temporarily and everything seems to function aside for my steppers motors just
can't seem to move them in any direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

ps I had disconnected the z stepper at the time of the picture of course with the power off
it is now plugged in.

here's my code in marlin

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

I think you will find that the spare endstop slots need jumpers to short them. Use M119 to output the current state of the endstops. Also, my motors needed to be Blue wire on top where the bottom of the board with the side with the power.

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

My X/Y/Z is blue on the bottom, but extruder is blue on the top.  I did not need jumpers on the end stops.

Hard to tell from the photo, but double-check your D9/D10 connections; looks like they may be off by 1.

On a RAMPS one set of 12V powers the steppers, the other is for the current intensive heated bed, etc.

It appears that changing the orientation of the stepper wires still didn't work

I did notice that my printer eeprom settings didn't match my marlin.

My buad is supposed to be 250000 and it states 76800 on the eeprom settings

Your firmware snippet shows the proper baud rate, does that mean it didn't take?

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

It looks like you have the md20a version of the DRV8825. I think you have to have an external pull up resistor on the sleep pin. Do you have another driver you can use?

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

unfortunately I don't
do you believe that's the reason my steppers aren't moving?

Do I just need to add a 4.7k resistor in the middle?

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Its slightly more complicated, but I'll post pics n details on how to make md20a into md20b later today

And yes,  that us why they don't move,  they are all pulled into Sleep mode...

10k resistor between SLEEP and FAULT would then act as a pull-up for SLEEP, making the DRV8825 carrier more of a direct replacement for the A4988 in such systems (the A4988 has an internal pull-up on its SLEEP pin). This 10k resistor is not present on the initial (md20a) version of the DRV8825 carrier. To keep faults from pulling down the SLEEP pin, any external pull-up resistor you add to the SLEEP pin input should not exceed 4.7k.

Sounds like a 4.7k resistor between the sleep and fault pin should do it.

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

The background:
Ok, there is 2 Pololu 8825 versions - the md20a and the md20b

md20a:
http://b.pololu-files.com/picture/0J4120.600.jpg

md20b:
http://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J4225.600.jpg

The md20a has the pads down the bottom of the board near the capacitor (yellow square) and the fault pull-up resistor (black square marked 18b) linked to the cap to the left of it. - It goes 8825->Right Pad, Left Pad->Cap .

This they originally thought would use the cap which is tied to the 8825's internal reg to pullup sleep. Unfortunately, the 8825 wont power up the regs if sleep is pulled down - which means its a giant Catch-22... This often happens when you design a circuit from the App Note before you have the silicon in your hand wink (ask me how I know this big_smile )

They realised their design error probably within days, but only AFTER they'd sent the boards off for fab. So they immeadiately corrected the error and advised not to populate the 10k resistor meant to go in that empty spot. But they had ordered 10,000 boards, so may as well bung 'em up for sale eh? wink And as long as you plan to pullup Sleep externally, they are still good for brand new instances, just not-so-good when using as 4988 replacements big_smile

So they then got the md20b through production, which changes the tracks... so that those pads are now 8825->Left Pad, Right Pad->FaultResistor . And the fault resistor is tied on backwards to allow them to share the fault pin (it now splits between the two resistors under the 18b resistor left pad).

(Further evidence of the above playing out, the product codes are 2132 and 2133 respectively in their catalog wink )

So to make an md20a an md20b, there is two choices:

Option 1) Make it the same as an md20b, which is not that hard if you have some SMD resistors around... you first need to cut the track between left-pad and the cap. Then stick in a 10k resistor. Then wire it from the LEFT pad to the Fault Pin (not the resistor) using some kynar or other preferred flying lead wire.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0zJJe_5DPr4/Umj54c9QMfI/AAAAAAAAI9I/BYt3xIv2dLk/w622-h829-no/20131024_214303.jpg

Option 2) To just use the 'workaround', i.e, leave it an md20a and put an external resistor around the circuit, If you use a PTH 10k Resistor wired between the actual "Sleep" Header Pin and the "Fault" Header Pin..

**IGNORE THE COLOR BANDS ON THE RESISTOR!!! THIS PIC IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION**
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1cibywOrF10/Umj67oDGmMI/AAAAAAAAI9c/Jx4fhNHsi68/w654-h872-no/20131024_214728.jpg

And thats it... smile

The whole 4.7k Pull-Up resistor thing: This is because if you have the 10k resistor pulling up to the VCC that runs on Fault, and then another external pull-up resistor, you then have a voltage divider running between the 10k + ExternalResistor when fault is 'pulled low' (i.e, fault condition)... You can ignore this for use in normal solidoodle circumstances and only applies to the md20b (as its 10k is onboard already) or if you have an md20a with a 10k wired onto it.. its a non-issue for unmolested md20a...

Wow, thanks, this helped me tremendously! I shorted my spare endstops and WHAM I can actually get movement on my printer. My motors are wired the same as techbuilder's. Anyone have any explanation of why some people have had to invert the wiring for the motors? I've seen pictures of it done both ways.

I also see you're using all 8825s, if you see missed steps later check out this posting about adjusting the microstepping on them; http://www.soliforum.com/post/35801/#p35801

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

I was able to get the x and y moving however the z cannot.

I used jumpers on the spare end stops. it appears that my endstops don't trigger when holding?

I've tried switching them and inverting but nothing

I physically hold any of the limit switches and type m119 and none of them get triggered.

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Try this:
The #define ENDSTOPPULLUPS is used to define all the endstops. If you comment that out, you can select only the endstops you physically have hooked up.

//#define ENDSTOPPULLUPS // Comment this out (using // at the start of the line) to disable the endstop pullup resistors

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Did you rewire the endstops and solder the wires to different leads?  Do the switches still click?  I have ruined endstops before by getting them too hot when soldering.  If they still click they should be fine.  It wouldn't hurt to check them with a multimeter to make sure there isn't anything wrong with the switches themselves.

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Here's an update on what's going on

IanJohnson it appears you were close, the extension board I had seems to have cold joints so I replaced that and now the switches are working.

Only issue now is that it homes in the opposite direction away from the switches.

I thought it was due to this setting, so I tried changing it back and fourth.

#define INVERT_X_DIR true    //{SD Patch} // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
#define INVERT_Y_DIR true    // for Mendel set to true, for Orca set to false
#define INVERT_Z_DIR true    //{SD Patch} // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
#define INVERT_E0_DIR false   // for direct drive extruder v9 set to true, for geared extruder set to false
#define INVERT_E1_DIR false   // for direct drive extruder v9 set to true, for geared extruder set to false
#define INVERT_E2_DIR false   // for direct drive extruder v9 set to true, for geared extruder set to false

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have made any difference.

My z motor moves but very slowly, I'm thinking it could be the stepper controller
so I will give that a go with a spare I have.

Any ideas?

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

There should be a setting for homing direction being + or - or toward min or max.  I can't look it up right now but check for something like that.

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Sweet thank you

I'll take a look into it when I get home from work

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Maybe that's what Ian was mentioning but the same setting exists in RH and needs to be set to match the firmware.

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

I was able to get the x and y axis to home semi-properly, 
however only the x axis hits the limit switch and goes back and fourth after triggering the limit switch and the y does not.

Another issue with the ramps 1.4 is that the extruder doesn't heat up however I think I may know what's going on there so I will test that when I get home. 

The Z axis also moves slow and I'm not sure if that's due from the stepper controller or if I've some how miss typed the steps per mm for the z.

I'll double check.

So far this ramps board has been a pain....

Re: Steppers not moving in any direction on Ramps 1.4

Swap your z connection with another (connect it to x for example) to see if that makes a difference in motor speed.
