I understand. It was a suggestion in the wrong forum. If we could parse the .h file to create (or validate) the info at the end of the file.

Is this bed coating function in the firmware? What version should I be running? I have 0.92.3, but I fear I modified something other than configuration.h in order to get around the heater decoupling concerns. Would be nice if there was a way to crea…

I seem to still be confused about homing and Z=0. I do Calibration -> Set Z=0 (although I can't always allow a G1 Z0 to complete since it sometimes drives into the bed when Z=0 is wrong). Next, I do Z home to Zmax endstop. When next I do G1 Z0…

I can't read German but I'm interested in this. Is there an English web site selling this hardware?
-
@Tooluser: No, he doesn't sell books. He gives the information away for free:http://www.repetier.com/documentation/repetier-firmware/rf-installation/

Oh, and the M21 command does not crash Host anymore in 1.5.6, and the SD Manager tab appears to be working (although without the SD card initialized, I'm not sure this is verified).
-
When inserted, a loop appears to not initialize the SD card. Is this the same as not mounting? Is there a way to guess which pins are not responding correctly to this command? Following is a partial log with the SD card inserted. At a point near…

Very interesting and helpful information. When I checked the print settings in Host, feedrate was set to 4200. Dropping this down to anywhere from 1500 to 3500 produced good results. Taking it back up to 4500 duplicated the problem.Problem solved,…

I can see the log scrolling by quickly. But I thought it was saved to a file somewhere?
-
Where can I find the log, I have definitely seen that loop & hanging, and I'm currently chasing that. This is why I sent the M21, to see if anything SD related would work. I can send a portion of that if I can locate that file.
-
Yes, it is a crash. A pop up talks about a Microsoft.Net error, which I tried to follow into Visual Studio but I got lost. Options in the popup are to close the program or debug it. I can get a screen shot to you in the email, but haven't figure…

This could be related to the problem I'm still seeing with Rep-Host losing the Bed temperature display. I think there is a correlation: this line appears when Rep-Server is running, but does not show up when Server is not running. The Bed display …

Just installed Host 1.5.5. Still some kind of problem with Bed slider not showing up. However, when I turned off Server and started the print, the Bed slider appeared. I'm running Windows 8.1, 64 bit.

Very helpful information. Info like this would be useful in the firmware Installation manual. Although I didn't actually RTFM, a quick scan just now shows little discussion of retraction distance in general. This appears to have been one of my is…

Thank you. Will double check that as well. Is that a function of the firmware or Host software?
-
Will capture one next time I see it. Meanwhile, it may be as simple as a problem with a X axis bearing I'm chasing currently.
-
Thanks for the reply. The gap, when it happens, is consistent along an edge. It may have something to do with the direction change, which would make me wonder about things like acceleration & jerk. But it also stops short of the edge upon appro…

@dislegal, Happy to see something is finally working for you! FWIW, I had crosstalk between endstops (thanks to @Repetier for diagnosing this), which I corrected by rerouting cables, adding shielded cable to endstops, and doing away (for now) with …
-
Thanks again for the replies. As always, and for others searching your posts, in my over 35 years of dealing with Customer Service organizations, I have found your responsiveness and knowledge exemplary and well worth the requested donation! I con…

I assume if I install the Marlin firmware, which I've heard supports this feature, on the Arduino Mega, the Repetier Host and Server applications will continue to operate well with the Marlin firmware?
-
Thanks for the reply. I will speed up travel and reduce retract distance, and see what that does to quality.On an unrelated note (perhaps this goes in another forum location), does the Repetier firmware connect to the Lyman filament sensor kit (htt…
-
For some reason this comment block is black today. I apologize for the font colors. I print directly from Repetier Host. I try to remember to stop the server service (would prefer it has to be manually started rather than manually stopped), but i…

@dislegal: I'm building a new unit from scratch, based on Arduino, Ramps electronics & home construction hardware, modeled (loosely) after the Ordbot frame. I haven't yet learned how to post pics on this site. The distinctiveness of my Frank…
-
I don't think you've made unreasonable requests. We just need to remember we're dealing with "cutting edge" technology, and multiple cultural differences across over half a dozen countries, most of which don't speak English as their primary languag…
-
@dislegal: I feel your frustration. I've not yet got my printer working. After over 6 weeks of "almost" there, I've had one print that completed, with horrendous quality. I, too, am using an Arduino Mega 2650 with RAMPS 1.4, as are a great many …
-
@Repetier, Thank you again for your support and continued patience with an obvious newby. As I have said, and will continue to say, receiving support this responsive, detailed, and timely, one-on-one from another country is, in my opinion, astoundi…

I replaced the Ymin endstop ribbon cable with a shielded cable and unplugged Ymax and Xmax endstops. I captured the following log. I was watching this print closely. There were Y steps missed which is why I hit Emergency Stop eventually. But the…

I just looked at the trial version of SimplyCam. It takes some editing of gcode (for example, M302 / M109, and G90 / G0 Z-1), but the resulting Dry Run looks very promising! Thanks again for all your help!
-
Maybe my question is not being stated properly. How can I use the Z=0 Config function, then turn off checking end stops during print, to find out if the crosstalk is causing the print shift?
-
I understand those requirements. So how does one address the crosstalk which occurs by having and enabling the endstops? I have twisted and separated the endstop cables but the Y bed drift continues. I am replacing the endstop ribbon cables with s…
