Re: Smoothie on a breadbaord using OM13054
The board you link to appears to be designed as a debug interface board rather than a dev board, so I am not sure how far you will get with that. I would look at something like [www.nxp.com] I bought...

To add boards to arduino ide you need to put certain files in a /hardware/ subfolder or something like that. In this case you probably need to put the "sanguino" folder from the archieve into that...

Re: Unusual stepper ratings - vref settings for new Melzi
Doh! Stupid question of me since I'd already done that with the Gen 7 folder on a different firmware and IDE version. Ok, so I've told it Sanguino Atmega 1284/16 now and it compiles just fine, but...

Think this relates to a file being duplicated or in the wrong folder. Found info on THIS thread to try out.

*edit* Right - I've made some progress I think. I FINALLY managed to get the Sprinter_Melzi firmware installed onto the new board after hours of hassle. I realised a blunder I had made. The guy from...

I figured I had an incorrect board link and that it would be more trouble than I would care for :( As far as using the 1796 board, do you know of any additional documentation beyond the Smoothie on a...

I just purchased an Azteeg X3 Pro controller board which has 8 stepper drivers on the board. I haven't gotten yet but wanted to start researching and planing. I'm planing on retrofitting a Z corp...

If you trust the step signals to be synched, you could do that. Also the may be other ways. I think the old darwin reprap printer had a belt engaging all 4 corners of the Z, maybe you can use...

When you mention uC do you mean micro controller? I'm not sure of all the details of the printer since it's at work so I would have to take a look at it on Monday. From what I'm told it uses a 386...

I'm not up to speed with the latest Smoothie developments, the best place to get advice for anything Smoothie related is their IRC channel : [smoothieware.org] I believe that the Smoothie on a...

Hi yes, microcontroller. If it does use 386 then we assume its has some storage device, first of everything make sure you make a backup copy of that :) If you put motors in series it will not need...

Did you try to push the reset button after connecting.. seems to help sometimes!
View ArticleRe: Azteeg X3 pro and stepper motor questions
Yes the 386 does have a hard drive with it. We will be sure to check out whats on it and back that up. The unit has two power supplies: one for the computer mother board and one 24 volt for the what...

If there are servos, IMHO leave it as is, i dunno of any firmware that will work with servos. In such for a big and heavy setup changing motors may result in drastically low performance and...

Hi Cefiar, Thanks for your comments. I have tried switching wires and they vibrate the same. There is a possibility that you are right about that they may be dropped while in transit to delivery, but...

You are the judge of the value for yourself, but if it is in working condition, for me at least it would be quite nice to have something like that.

Just an idea, maybe this is what you mean by vibration or noise: [hydraraptor.blogspot.ro] ?

Well it was bugging me so I stopped by work and I was wrong on the size. They are 34 frame size, 4 amps each, .55ohm/phase. So they are much larger then I first thought. The X and Y appear to be 24v...
