  • Appreciate your update and efforts. I will be leaving town for about 4 weeks this coming Saturday, so no rush on my side. 
  • I finally completed hardware redesign of my printer and reached the point when I had an opportunity to work on TFT connectivity. I was able to make TFT70 work with Ultratronics Pro using only serial TX/RX and power pins. I have not tested all the …
  • It is hard to do remote debugging and having it locally for tests is much easier You are absolutely right. Meanwhile I will focus on hardware changes, will need to do lots of crimping, replace power supplies, etc. Looking forward for your test res…
  • Device Manager cannot see it at all - the entire Ports branch is missing.Then I tried Marlin once again. In Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT) I got USB Serial Device (COM4).It says Manufacturer "Microsoft" and uses device driver from Micros…
  • Not sure if you are familiar with Marlin code and if this is helpful at all, but here is the video showing how to set up ports for it. You can watch from time stamp 7min 20sec And here is another link. It is for SKR PRO and I don't know if this app…
  • Compilation ends with SUCCESS status. Then using Windows Explorer's "Sent to" function I send firmware.bin file to SD card. After clicking Eject SD and removing SD card from PC I insert it into SKR2 and power it on via USB cable from PC.One red and …
  • Wow! You even added all pin numbers! I was doing the same but will rather use your file. I downloaded the latest dev2 version and was able to successfully compile it with the changes you suggested. Unfortunately PC cannot "see" the board. Baudrate…
  • Sure, I can test. Hopefully it won't take more than 3 weeks, because then I will be out of town for 1 month. I am upgrading my old printer that currently has 8bit CPU controller running on Repetier 1.0.x. It is CoreXY H-bot with closed loop stepper …
  • @Repetier Thanks for quick reply ( as always ) The main problem here is that the lcd must understand the repetier-firmware syntax/answers. They have a own firmware for the display of menus etc. and fetch all data via serial connection using regular…
  • Thanks. I will look at this when I get some time and will update this thread.
  • @Repetier  Thanks for the fix. I was able to compile the code with enabled EEPROM and did not get the errors I had before.  There are still few warning messages, the 1st of which with missing parentheses may affect the functionality. I applied the s…
  • @RAyWB I restored commented out lines in HAL.h file (see my previous post) and followed your suggestion. It terms of the results I don't see any difference. When EEPROM is disabled I am getting  #warning HOST_RESCUE requires eeprom support! Disablin…
  • Got rid of above error by temporarily commenting out the following lines in due/HAL.h file   //     if (pos >= EEPROM::reservedEnd) {    //         eprSyncTime = 1UL; // enforce fast write to finish before power is lost    //     } else {        …
  • Since I spent last 2 weeks troubleshooting hardware issues, I decided to download the fresh copy of ver 2. from, Github. Compiled it as-is and did not get any errors or warnings. Then I started to make changes in configuration files - one change at …
  • @Repetier Please update HEATER_3_PIN definition in src/Repetier/src/boards/due/boards/ultratronics.h file. It has value '6' and should be '7'. Pin '6' is also assigned to ORIG_FAN_PIN, which is correct. Here is the table showing all heater and fan …
  • Finally, my Z-probe works!!  The sensor that it used was taken from my old printer and contained a resistor for 12V supply. Ultratronics board feeds endstops with 3.3V and the resistor value was too big causing incorrect readings.  My first attem…
  • Wiring issues have been taken care of and I resumed my attempts to configure version 2. I am still having troubles with Z-probe that is connected as Z-min endstop. My bed moves along Z axis. Z-min is at the top and Z-max - at the bottom.  Z-homing …
  • Had to put upgrade on back burner for the last 10 days and address few hardware issues - relocated X stop sensors, redesigned print head mounts, replaced temporary wiring with permanent, etc. Now ready to move on with the upgrade.
  • 3.1 Got response advising not to use EXTRUDER and Z-PROBE settings as they belong to the old code left from ver.1 3.2 Continued troubleshooting not working z-probe sensor. Updated Configuration_io.h. Reverted    #define ZPROBE_ADDRESS &endstopZM…
  • 2.1 Got response from @Repetier - the errors from step 1.12 have been fixed and updated files are available from Github.  2.2 Configured e3d cooling fans as following      IO_OUTPUT(IOCoolerFan1, HEATER_3_PIN)       IO_OUTPUT(IOCoolerFan2, HEATER_4_…
  • I am putting upgrade on hold for about 10 days. My temporary wire connections to print-heads are giving me troubles.  Designed custom connector PCB and ordered it from EasyEDA. It should arrive within a week. I will post update once I am ready to re…
  • Software used during upgrade:- Visual Studio Code (VSC) for compiling the code https://code.visualstudio.com/Download - Platform IO IDE extension for Visual Studio (required for building firmware) - Notepad++ to look at version 1 configuration files…
  • @RAyWB  Thanks a lot! @Repetier That's good to know. I will remove NUM_EXTRUDER, revert FEATURE_Z_PROBE to 0 and continue "playing" with other settings. I will be posting everything I am doing in another thread. Meanwhile HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYON…
  • Just a separate note: I started new thread  https://forum.repetier.com/discussion/7039/firmware-upgrade-from-version-1-x-to-2-x-user-experience that contains my printer's specifications. I am planning to share there detailed description of my experi…
  • Here is the latest status: - Discovered and fixed half-broken wire going to Endstop-A. Now A-stop works reliably. - Made few changes to configuration files:     - Commented out #define NO_AMAX_ENDSTOP_TEST    - Replaced #define ZPROBE_ADDRESS nullp…
  • @RAyWB Gave it a quick try before going to work, but there was no change in behavior. Zmin did not appear in M119 output. Will continue looking into it this evening. Thanks
  • Forgot to mention - right now I don't have Zmin endstop defined in configuration. Do I need to add it for z-probe?
  • Stepper frequency is 120000.  I executed G28 that properly homed all axes as per my settings  #define X_HOME_PRIORITY 2 #define Y_HOME_PRIORITY 1 #define Z_HOME_PRIORITY 0 #define A_HOME_PRIORITY 2 First was Z to Zmax, then Y to Ymax, then X to Xmin…
  • Updated Printer.cpp file to the latest revision. This cleared Beeper related compilation errors and Beeper is working now. Thanks to @Repetier Made the 1st successful test cube print after manually leveling the bed. Now, trying to configure ABL. …
  • RAyWB Thanks for your reply. I was searching documentation under steppers section... I managed to set this up correctly right before seeing your post. I changed the following 2 lines. TOOL_EXTRUDER(ToolExtruder1, 0, 0, 0, HeaterExtruder1, E1Motor, 1…
