AZTeeg X3 Install Help: UPDATE (Page 1 of 2)

Carl...

Was able to setup that.... and managed to unclog my nozzle.

Now I am running into the odd behavior that I have to disconnect/connect after
each print...  or the motors don't seem to activate and work correctly....

I have also had a few print just stop.... no reason... and no errors in the comm window.
Just stopped.... 

Heaters fine.... for both hotend and bed... and when I stop the print... everything acts normal....

Kinda frustrating... wondering what I am missing...

Using that link.... I follow all the directions.... I am
able to connect to the board via Arduino and upload and compile....

But when I go into Simplify3D now and select Port 6 and try to connect,
this is all I get:

Attempting connection at \\.\COM6...
Error opening selected port.

Not sure what I have set wrong

Welcome Back....

Here is the update.... School is FINALLY over so this teacher can now focus on
something for more than 10 minutes.

I have the board flashed and all the code seems to be correct and working now.

I have a hotend that works correctly and comes up to temp quickly.
Build plate now heats though it is as slow as ever coming up to temp.... but it works.

All axis are working correctly... and homing correctly....

So on the surface everything seems to be working correctly.

However.... I start up Simplify3D and heat everything up.... slice a part and send it
on its way.... and.....

It stops at a random point in the print every time.'

Just stops.... no heat overrun.... not lost connection-code scrolling by 100 MPH

Just stops as if paused.

If I hit the "STOP" button, I get a message as I normally would at stopping a print...
showing print time etc....

If I hit HOME ALL.... everything re-homes itself just fine....

It is bizarre.... and I am not sure if it is loosing signal or what....

BTW (250000 Baud Rate in S3D and code)

What the heck is going on???????

Matt

Ok... There is a SDcard reader onboard.... but I am not sure how to set that up....

If I understand what I am seeing in USBview all of my USB ports are 2.0.
and the port the printer is attached to shows this:

Device Bus Speed:     Full

Rather than High or Low

How do you reduce the com port speed?
