HE280 upgrade problems. Need help!
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 12:26 am
I know... shocking, right?
I just did the full upgrade (new carriages, ball arms, and preassembled hot end/whip) and I can't get anything to work. When I closed everything back up and turned the power on the printer booted up on the old firmware, but didn't home the towers. Trying to manually home the towers via the onboard display/knob has zero effect. I can't get the printer to move at all. On the old firmware both temp sensors worked and reported accurate values (15-16 degrees... my shop is colder than I would like atm). All 3 blue lights on the hot end are on and the peek fan is running.
I cleared the eeprom (had to use Aurdino IDE 1.6.1 since 1.6.0 wouldn't compile/upload on my system for some reason) made the necessary mods in the firmware (I tried both V2 and V3 as machine type in the firmware to no effect) and uploaded. With the new firmware both temps indicate def (I'm guessing for the low temps since they worked fine on the old firmware. They even blink the correct temps briefly when I power it on before showing def.) When I load up matter control none of the commands work in the terminal and I keep seeing the "Machine error: Printer set to dry run mode until restart" this usually follows a message about the temps not working. Could this be preventing the stepper motors from working?
Occasionally rebooting results in a garbled screen on the printer.
I followed this guide http://seemecnc.dozuki.com/Guide/Rostoc ... de/49#s402 to the letter to no avail.
I know the first suggestion I'm going to get is to check my wiring, and that is the first thing I will be doing in the morning, but for now let's just assume all the wires have been spliced correctly (I'm 99.9% sure they are), That would leave inconsistencies on the RAMBO board and it's associated pinouts.
I purchased my printer in the summer of 2014. Is it possible that, even though my wiring exactly matches the pictures in the guide, the pinouts on my RAMBO could be different and would require the wiring to be changed? I've seen some mentions of this being possible, but am unclear as to how to rectify this. Also saw mention that recently the blue wire on the whips hasn't been correct.
I'll confirm my wiring/splicing in the morning. Any other thoughts?
