Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Here is my firmware, which is Repetier.  I have the endstops all on the front row, and my extruder thermistor is plugged into the second input, above the bed thermistor.  It's set up for SD2, so you would need to change anything you can find that says 150, like the X Y and Z Max movements.

One thing I like about Repetier is almost anything you would ever want to change is available through the EEPROM config.

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

I think you forgot to attach it lol ill deff give it a try. If this dosent work im selling this and gettig an ultimaker or something

Ian isnt that what you just suggested in your last post? I already did that. I dont have any resistors. Its stsrting to sound like i have a bad board or something?  Im deff not buyin solidoodles overpriced printrboard, i tossed all those connectors anyway.

Anyone wanna buy a SD3 with an azteegX3 board? $500 plus shipping.

I think before he was suggesting you swap pins in case the input had gone bad, and now he's suggesting you disable the second pin (ie have only one #define'd value that is not -1) in case Marlin expects all enabled pins to have a valid reading..

It's that damn Add File button.  You would think that just picking the file would be enough.

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Haha thanks ian. Ill give both suggestions a try and report back. That ultimaker 2 looks real nice lol

31

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

extruder 2 already was set at -1.  what version or arduino do i need to work with repetier ?

32

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

The current version works.

33

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Hahaha more problems.  I get an error when i try to open it. Bad file selected. Processing can only open its own sketches and other files ending in .ino or .pde ...... same error i got when i tried to open with .0023


Can i get a fricken break!?!??!?!?!?!??

34

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Use arduino v1 rather than 022.

35

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

I did. I tried both.

36

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

You're getting that error even when you open Repetier.ino?

37

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Arduino isnt letting me ope the file to upload it.( both v 1 and .0023)

Ian thanks for all your time helping me. I really appreciate it.

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Uninstall all arduinos and try a fresh install. Something is messed up.

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

On a second look through the repetier file i found the arduino source file. Before i could open anyof the files and arduin owould read them. It uploaded fine , printer connects. No more errors but still not workin.

The motors arent engaged they can be manually pushed around. And the bed and hotend still are not registering any temperature.  Theres some G code that in the log :

Star
N0 M110 *3
N1 M115 *7
N3 M111 S6. *68

And any commands i give it it just adds up 2 commands waiting at leas we are getting somewhere now

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Sounds like it isn't connecting.  The baud rate in Repetier firmware is set to 250000.  Do you have it on 115000 in Repetier host?

41

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

Yes the baud rate is 250000 it says its connected.. is the board defective?

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

MIGHT BE WAY OFF BASE BUT.....

I'm not too familiar with Azteeg but was going through the firmware and noticed the BEEPER, Light & Fan pins that are defined in the PINS.H, are you sure you have all connected properly?  Reason I ask... When I was testing the VIKI LCD with the SANG board I was getting similar "xx COMMANDS" pending when I was trying to test changes without the actual VIKI LCD connected... and it would never completely connect.

#ifdef AZTEEG_X3
#define SDSUPPORT true
#define SDCARDDETECTINVERTED false
#define SDCARDDETECT -1
#define FAN_PIN           4
#define FAN2_PIN          5
#define LIGHT_PIN         6
#define BEEPER_PIN        33  // Activate beeper on extension shield
#define BEEPER_TYPE        1
#endif

Also,  Was looking at the sample code (Attached from Panucatt website) and noticed some pin differences from their defines to ones you have. MIN + MAX pins seem to be inverted for X + Y.

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

I put the file up for people to look at. Nione said there was anything off wit it. I have Repetier firmware o ntjere im tryin to get that to work

44

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

It's a long shot but try changing the jumper that switches between USB and external power.  That one tripped me up.  It's odd that it would connect to upload the firmware, but won't connect in RH.  When you connect does it read a header back from the board into the log like Marlin does, with authors and versions, etc?

45

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

I dont think it does. And the jumper is in the right spot it wont turn on otherwise.

46

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

First, if you have the VIKI LCD option enabled in your firmware, disable it until you get the printer running. If you dont have everything connected correctly and/or defined perfectly for the VIKI LCD, it freezes the MCU.

Secondly, go into Config -> Printer Settings -> Connection tab -> Reset on Connect
and disable it. This parameter sometimes has problems with the Arduino.

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

He's right, I forgot about that.  I have the Viki on my SD2.  I switched to Repetier because it had better support for it.

48

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

I dont have an lcd display lol

49

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

No, but it is enabled in the firmware that I sent you because I do have one.

Change #define FEATURE_CONTROLLER 5  to 0

Re: SERIOUS problems with Azteeg X3

okay ! now were getting somewhere!!! now im getting the repetier header and some more errors! damnit.. heres what i see

the temp readings im getting are extruder -50.88   printbed -13.80

motors still wont engage.

i have my limit switches all in the front screw terminals.

whats next?
