Printer LCD Autocalibration Question

When I try to autocalibrate the printer using the LCD screen, it says to insert SD card. Where do I insert an SD card at?

Re: How to autocalibrate using Simplify3d

When I tried to calibrate it directly from the printer it said I needed to attach a memory card. I didn't have one lying around so I haven't finished trying that yet.

Thanks for the responses!

Anyone know how I would do the auto calibration process from within Simplify3D?

How to autocalibrate using Simplify3d

I recently purchased Simplify3D and so far I really like it. So far the only problem I have is that I'm not sure how to do the autocalibration using the Simply3D interface. Anyone know what I need to do? As part of that, if I also need to know where to put in variations for the autocalibration. Like...

Re: Complete upgrade - result: Printer does nothing!!! Please help!

The problem was that the wiring whip was shipped with the blue wire (PS_ON) wired incorrectly at the connector that connects to the rambo.

Re: Accelerometer is not working

It was the PS_ON. It came from SeeMeCNC wired wrong.

One time I tried switching it but I was too focused on what I thought was the actual problem that I switched it back before trying the calibration.

With the wire moved to the correct location, it works great.

Thank you both for your help!

Re: Accelerometer is not working

I sent this picture to support and they also confirmed that I need to check the blue wire (PS-ON).

Re: Accelerometer is not working

On the wire whip that came from SeeMeCNC, the PS_On wire looks more blue. I have it connected but after work I will go buy a cheap multimeter and test connectivity from pin 7 to the end of the wire.

Re: Accelerometer is not working

If you did not use their guide linked to by me or found on their HE280 Parts page close to the bottom then you are just asking for trouble. If I was their tech support I would ask you to take out your modifications and go do what their upgrade doc says to do. I too used their whip but I also used t...

Re: Complete upgrade - result: Printer does nothing!!! Please help!

I swapped my T0 wires back to their stock position and this is the result I get at startup. So maybe my problem isn't similar... <- start <- <-Transformation matrix: 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 <- <-Free RAM:830 <- <-Autoretract:0 <- <-X:0.00 Y:0....

Re: Accelerometer is not working

I guess another question I should be asking is why is it going all the way over to hit into the X tower before going down? Maybe its not even the accelerometers fault?

Re: Accelerometer is not working

After not getting it past the loop of accelerometer initializing, I swapped back the wiring to what I originally had, which makes sense since I'm using SeeMeCNC's wire whip without modifications. I think this is the way I should have it because the accelerometer initializes. I get this: <- start <- ...

Re: Complete upgrade - result: Printer does nothing!!! Please help!

Just to see what happened, I removed the blue wire (from the wiring harness) from the rambo and swapped it to the other pin. Nothing changed. Should I have seen changes if that pin wasn't connected at all (or swapped like I did)?

Re: Complete upgrade - result: Printer does nothing!!! Please help!

I'm having this problem as well. At first I was getting no change in my Int 1 (I read that on a nudge it should go to int 0) So someone suggested that I had the T0 wiring backwards (I was still getting correct temperatures). I swapped them and I started getting the exact error as above. I've checked...

Yep, I think you were both right. I did that and now I get a different error (never finishes initializing) but it appears to be progress. I never found that guide Dale, I was using the one from building a v3 from the ground up cause that was what I thought I was basically doing. Thanks for the help ...

Re: Accelerometer is not working

I went back and reviewed the instructions. I'm using the SeeMeCNC's wiring whip so that part is correct (acceleromter board to the rambo). I reviewed that the instructions don't specify which lead to wire into a specific position onto the acceleromoter board. Since I'm using the whip, the rest of th...

Re: Rostock Max v2 HE280/Accelerometer Upgrade - Summary

Last week, I had a problem with similar(but not exactly the same) symptoms, but with my X tower. Mine would not hit the tower before touching the bed, but would crash into, and slide off the bed, then hit the tower. It turns out that my wiring was correct but the accelerometer did not like my build...

Re: Accelerometer is not working

I reversed the IC2 leads to see if that fixed it and it didn't, I just got a bunch of ic2 errors.
