Re: Fixing the controller (RepRapDiscount)

I could never do something so stupid... Ha...he... It was a faulty Micro SD adapter I left in there. :roll: The whole thing is working... for now! Thank you for all the replies and help! Edit: Now the temperature is constantly overshooting when doing an auto-tune. I ran M303 S200, with PID max tuned ...

Re: Fixing the controller (RepRapDiscount)

I took off cable B, and the LCD works fine, as well as the button in the rotary knob. Nothing else works because they are not connected. I tested the reset button, and it was not shorted. Could it be a pin configuration issue in the firmware?

Re: Fixing the controller (RepRapDiscount)

I tested all of Eric's Ideas and everything seems to be working fine. It is still just randomly resetting without any user intervention. I am beginning to think it is a software problem. The cables are fine, I tested for breaks and shorts. The button and rotary knob work fine. Could it just be a ...

Fixing the controller (RepRapDiscount)

So I covered some of this information in another topic as a side-note to the main issue (z axis driver was busted), and I am still struggling to find a solution to this problem. Here goes: - The LCD screen works perfectly fine - The Speaker works fine - The reset button does not work (at all) - The ...

Re: Stuttering and Unpredictable Z axis

The button was clicking fine, it just seems to be when I turned the knob. EDIT: So I flipped a cable, because whoever put the thing together attached the lead on backwards, and now the lcd is displaying this cycle of messages: -Repeties 091S -ROSTOCK MAX - -SeeMeCNC then it displays the "ready ...

Re: Stuttering and Unpredictable Z axis

The adapter board is plugged in fine. I tested the ribbon cables and checked the main board for shorts. I found nothing. This problem has remained through numerous firmware re-installations, so I think it is hardware based.

The controller is a RepRapDiscount board with a 20x4 LCD display

Re: Stuttering and Unpredictable Z axis

Thank you Joe! The fix worked fine and now the axis moves without problems. Now I am having a problem with the knob on the controller. I can push the button to get to the menu, but when I turn the knob to scroll thru, the printer homes and resets. I have no clue what this is. The ribbon cables are ...

Re: Stuttering and Unpredictable Z axis

I put in a brand new motor and it still acted the same way. Switching the Z and X axiz connectors (on the board) make the X axis have the same behavior. I think it is a software issue or a problem with the control board.

Stuttering and Unpredictable Z axis

I have been having a problem with the Rostock Max V2 lately, but no matter what I try, I can not get it to work. The Z axis will vibrate up an down about a 1/4 inch repeatedly while homing and slowly move downwards. In addition, the motor goes up 50% of the time and down the other 50%. It is ...
