Hello all,
I am up against a wall trying to get acceleration and jerk settings to stay in my printer. I'm running an (probably) older version of repetier in a monoprice maker select, but not sure which version it is.... I have the arduino project for it if you can point me to the right spot in the code to see the version. It is not the original firmware, but has been a few years.
In any case I want to update my acceleration and jerk settings. If I manually change them in the configuration menu on the printer, then click store to eeprom.... they do not persist correctly. Only the acceleration values will show the user change but jerk is coming back unchanged at 8.9. So next up I reflashed the firmware from the arduino project and updated #define MAX_JERK to 4.0, and changed acceleration as well Again no change when I view the Jerk value or Acceleration values in the printer configuration menu. I am changing eeprom mode between 0, 1, and 2 with each flash attempt to try to trigger new values overwriting the old ones, but I can not "force in" new acceleration and jerk settings at all via firmware flash.
Third attempt was to just keep manually changing the values down before each print, but this doesn't seem to work either. As soon as a print starts, the acceleration and jerk values start changing. So next I tried dialing Jerk back during a print, and no sooner than I dial it down the printer dials it right back up. I looked in the test print gcode for a M207.... but none are being commanded. I did however spot M201 and M202, but these should only be overriding acceleration right? ...not Jerk. Even still, I cant understand why I cant get setting changes to persist via configuration menu or firmware flash with no print process being involved.
Any help would be appreciated. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong or what to try next. Do I need to resort to installing repetier host?
