Issues with repetier - Error: [steps]

paweueu

Hi there,

I have some issues with my new corexy printer. Software 0.92.9. Testing X and Y axes, Z axis isn't plugged in yet.

Endstop state after M119 executing:

endstops hit: x_min:L x_max:L y_min:L y_max:L z_min:H z_max:H Z-probe state:H



The problem is I can't print... I start my "dry" print - hotend temp is set to 150C. Printer is homing and then goes to the centre of table. It starts printing but few seconds later I see:

23:44:15.746 : Error: [steps]

The second problem is when I disable  Z-max endstop by #define MAX_HARDWARE_ENDSTOP_Z false. EXT0 temp is -900C and of course I can't heat extruder...

Could you please assist?

Thanks,
Paweu

Repetier

I'm wondering about this line
18:51:58.386 : Error: [steps]

makes no sense as well as your second problem that disabling endstop changes temperature.

How big is your data section? It must be smaller then 60KB or you will get very strange errors, so maybe this is a result from it. Happens normally if you have lcd with too many languages selected.

Hi,

My third problem is I can't run 12864 LCD. I can select things in menu but the main screen is corrupted:

So I disabled it.
#define FEATURE_CONTROLLER 0

It didn't help... I decreased speed to 25% and was able to print ~1min:

P.S. how to check the data section?

Repetier

Not sure arduino tells you data usage. Just start by only selecting your favourite language and no other languages. That would always fit.

The LCD problem points eventually to same problem. The bars show that it is configured correct only strings are missing which can come from the data size as well.

paweueu

Woah! I have left only English and now my LCD works properly. For the first time I see the main screen

What is more important I can print with 300% speed without any error messages!

Thanks Repetier team

paweueu

My happiness didn't last long. Still the same issue... :-( steps error.

Maybe it i related to "lag detection" feature?

Repetier

You mean this error message:
23:44:15.766 : Error: [steps]

Could you try upgrading to dev version as I know that it does not have this message.

paweueu

I tried the dev from: https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Firmware/tree/development

The result:

This looks like you have selected a input buffer in server that is bigger then on firmware side. Max. value if compiled with current IDE is 127 byte. Some older Arduino IDE versions had max. at 63 byte when using arduino serial functions. Please check this setting and reduce.
