RADDS repetier FW - can't serial connect

unf0rg0tt3n

Hi guys,

I have the Repetier firmware running on my RADDS board, I can upload firmware from the arduino IDE without any problem and it uploads without issues.

When I want to serial connect my printer to my laptop with the repetier host or when I want to connect to octoprint it just won't let me. It gives connected in the gui of repetierbut it also keeps giving the waiting message, inside octoprint it gives connecting and then offline.

My serial.log of octoprint is attached.

Could you guys please help me?

Thanks in common

cheers,

Dennis

Is your Baudrate set correct?

It's set to:
// ################# Misc. settings ##################

#define BAUDRATE 115200
Is this correct?

RAyWB

you also have to set the same baudrate in repetier host

unf0rg0tt3n

did that, also for octoprint. Both won't work.

Tried to use both microusb ports

Do I also need a screen to be installed? Because I don't have one.

RAyWB

if firmware is setup correct , usually not.

your complete configuration.h would be useful

as you have no display you have to set

#define FEATURE_CONTROLLER 0 (actually it´s set to7)

rest looks ok on first sight

Thanks! Does this have any influence on the not connecting? Just don't get why it will connect with the arduino ide but not the repetier host.

RAyWB

Might be I´m wrong , as Controller 7 is the radds extention board,tot related to display.

what´s the exact message on repetier host?

wait? or 1 command waiting?

if 1command waiting try to set eeprom mode to 2 and upload firmware again

I changed the eeprom mode to 2 in my the arduino IDE and uploaded the sketch to the printer.
Then I fired up the repetier-host and pressed connect... I got the following:
17:07:54.014 : No start signal detected - forcing start

which micro usb port do you use?

the one near power supply connector or the other one?

what happens if you press the arduino reset button? (keep repetier host connected)

I'm using the one near the power supply connector. The reset button on the DUE or the black reset button on the radds board. because I tried that with my pi connected and that black button pressing fried it

RAyWB

so you seem to have Due Clone, not original one.

some of them need a fix on 16U2 serial converter.

It is an original since it came in the original arduino box from a arduino certified seller. The think is it worked before in my test setup.

this is the due I own:

and I was talking about that red button, which is the reset one (what I asked about)

Now I guess you are talking about this button:

About frying my pi, it didn't boot anymore but it showed that it was working.

RAyWB

the red one on Due is same function as black one on radds.is your radds board mounted on arduino during your test?

Everything is mounted.

I thought the red button was the wipe button :blush:

So I attach my laptop to the due (with the radds attached)? and then hit the reset button when the repetier host is connected?

RAyWB

exactly. (laptop connected to programming port)

So, I tried 4 different scenarios.

1) use the connection without the PSU turned on

19:24:40.713 : No start signal detected - forcing start
19:24:40.728 : N1 M11034
19:24:40.728 : N2 M11536
19:24:40.728 : N3 M10536
19:24:40.728 : N4 M11435
19:24:40.728 : N5 M111 S698
19:24:40.728 : N6 T060
19:24:40.728 : N7 M2022
19:24:40.728 : N8 M8019
19:24:43.836 : N9 M10546
19:24:46.898 : N10 M10522

2) Use the connection while the PSU is turned on

19:25:26.984 : Communication timeout - reset send buffer block
19:25:26.984 : N11 M10523
19:25:26.991 : N12 G1 Z1 F1007
19:25:26.991 : N13 G1 Z1 F1006
19:25:26.991 : N14 G1 Z1 F1001
19:25:29.866 : N15 M10519
19:25:32.927 : N16 M10516
19:25:36.012 : N17 M10517
19:25:39.120 : N18 M10530

3) Use the connection after hitting the reset button on the radds

19:26:19.207 : Communication timeout - reset send buffer block
19:26:19.207 : N19 M10531
19:26:22.282 : N20 M10521
19:26:25.358 : N21 M10520
19:26:28.465 : N22 M10523
19:26:31.550 : N23 M10522
19:26:34.610 : N24 M10517
19:26:37.617 : N25 M10516
19:26:40.693 : N26 M10519
19:26:43.706 : N27 M10518

4) Use the connection after hitting the reset button on the DUE

19:27:23.790 : Communication timeout - reset send buffer block
19:27:23.790 : N28 M105*29
19:27:26.765 : N29 M10528
19:27:29.819 : N30 M10520
19:27:32.826 : N31 M10521
19:27:35.902 : N32 M10522
19:27:38.956 : N33 M10523
19:27:41.969 : N34 M10516
19:27:44.980 : N35 M105*17

All four result in having: "1 command waiting in queue"
