Change default "Preheat" Values in RAMBo

[elwooddbeauchamp]

What settings in the EEPROM Values will allow changing the RAMBo default Preheat ABS/Preheat PLA temps?...if any...????

Check out the settings at the bottom of the config h file.

Where is the Config.h file located?

As far as I've been able to figure out, you have to reflash the eeprom to make changes of that nature. To do that , you have to make changes in the config h file, using the Arduino IDE program you used to install the firmware on the RAMbo board. Open Repetier.ino in Arduino IDE, find and click on the tab that is titled config h, scroll down to the bottom, and you should find the settings you need. once you made your changes, save the file, clear the eeeprom, and upload the revised firmware, like described in the manual.

It's configuration.h, not config.h.

Also, I don't think the default temps are stored in the EEPROM.

default heat settings are at the bottom of the "configuration.h" file, Saving your eeprom settings before you wipe and reload the firmware just saves having to go through all the hoops again that GeneB made you jump through in the manual.

Or I could be wrong.

If your flashing with the same firmware you shouldn't lose the eeprom settings.
Probably not a bad idea to export them anyway.

When you change the settings in the config.h file, and upload it, you can can do so and not lose your calibration settings? All this time I've been wiping my Eeprom clean before uploading.

Unless you explicitly wipe the EEPROM values, they are unaffected by flashing the firmware.
If your changing firmware versions it's a good idea to wipe it, but otherwise its not necessary.

Great info, everyone. Thanks for your input.

Aside from going through the Firmware, I am considering placing an "M116" (Wait) in the line after the M190 and then place the M109 after the M116.

Reason: Preheating via RAMBo, the hot end always comes up to heat very quickly, causing filament to ooze and form a long string hanging down by the time the bed reaches heat. This usually causes undesirable results with finished print quality, and when higher hot end temps are used, cook the filament into a solid "Plug".

I will give this a go shortly and see if it works. I would like to be able to start my print, have the bed heat up, then the hot end, and not babysit the temp controls for 30 to 45 minutes before the print starts.

Thoughts, anyone?

I could use all that extra time to sit in the back yard and watch my grass grow...lol

Should work fine.
My current solution is to not set the have any of the bed preheat commands in the startup code, I just manually set the bed temperature and walk away for 10 minutes.

I do that now, only it takes the bed 30 - 45 min to heat and the RAMBo times out the heaters if I don't keep checking the temp.

I HAVE found that using a Pot Lid the size of the bed, I can acheve bed temp much quicker.

Still, I would like to select the file, push the button, and walk away knowing the hot end isn't oozing strings all over the bed...

anybody having problems compiling the UI.CPP file?
i am using arduino 1.5.8
I am getting massive errors in this file after downloading the source files from here:

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
Here are the errors...
