Auto-leveling - Script???
Hi all
Ok so i must add that i have tried Repetier and Marlin. There are a few pros and cons BUT i have stuck with Repetier as my printer came with it preinstalled and i like its simplicity.
So here is my problem:
I have decided to start using the auto-level feature that it can use. I am using a servo with a microswitch on the Z min end stop.
Now:
1. I can get the printer to do the necessary Auto level moves to the bed coordinates as per what i added in the FW.
2. I can test the movement of the Servo with on Pin 11 i.e. M340 P0 S1500 etc etc
So - what i cannot get working is to initiate autolevel AND have the servo swing down. The microswitch moves on testing the Axis all move BUT the servo just does NOT swing down into place.
Someone on the REPRAP forum has stated that i need to add in start and end scripts in the feature pat of the FW.
IS this true and if so where do i find a sample script - i have NO clue how to create this script? I am using the DEV version as well as the latest 0.98.x or whatever it is. version and neither work.
Many thanks in advance.

in the features page, there is a part where you can add the M340 P0 S**** for probe start and probe finish moves.
With these set, G32 or G33 will auto deploy and stow the servo as needed.
I do see in the FW there are these lines:
2nd, if you use homing option
Z up, X,Y preheat Z
or
X,Y preheat Z,
it should then use the ZHOME coords
Yes i am using the Dev version.
Thanks again. I will post my results
