Topic: DaVinci 1.0A Cartridge Reset Problem

Hi Guys,

I got a DaVinci 1.0A version  printer a few days ago and I have been using the sample filament that comes with it. Last night I decided that I was going to order more filament, but before I did I wanted to make sure I could get the cartridge resetter to work. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it working.

I am using the following Arduino Sketch from Volvito: https://github.com/voltivo/davinci_fila … _eprom.ino

I connected the eeprom to my Arduino UNO R3(3.3V, Data, and Ground) and uploaded the sketch.

When the eeprom is not plugged in I correctly get the

Testing connection to Da Vinci EEPROM CHIP

message.

As soon as I plug the eeprom in the following happens:

Da Vinci EEPROM found...

70: FFFFFFFFC0D40100FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ................
Done!

Once I see the "Done!" I unplug the eeprom from the Arduino and place it into the printer. The printer gives me the

No Cartridge Please Reinstall

message.

After a few tries of it not working, I thought maybe the serial number it had was wrong, so I have added code to set the Serial Number buffer ("buf" I just initialized the byte array to my serial number) to the serial number to the one that's written on the top of the cartridge. However, this still doesn't work.

Here's some on my printer:
Printer Firmware 1.0.1
XYZWare 1.1.31.7
XYZWare is blocked by my firewall
Arduino IDE tried versions 1.0.5-r2 and 1.6.3

Hopefully someone is able to help.

Re: DaVinci 1.0A Cartridge Reset Problem

I am not sure since i no longer use XYZ software or firmware. But I think the version software you have can tell if a cartridge has been reset and denies it loading.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Thanks for the response. I have been messing with it for the past few hours now, I finally figured it out. Last night I was checking the voltage that the printer supplies the eeprom with, I accidentally bent the positive voltage pin. I stuck my head in the back and noticed. I was able to bend it back, and it seems to be working fine now.

Unfortunately, last night when I couldn't figure it out I ended up ordering 2 XYZ brand filaments from Amazon, which have already shipped and I can't cancel the order.
