5v to the accle board

Post by duvdev »

Hi all,

I saw that the board get 5v from ps-on.
I have my v2 printer with all the wires in place but no wire to the ps-on. Can I deliver the 5v from different location and not the ps-on?

Thanks

The HE280 doesn't need 5V from the Rambo. It has it's own 5V and 3.3V regulators onboard that use the 12V input for the Heat cartridge.

The 5V pin on PS_ON is not being used. It's the other pin on that connector that's being used, as an input from the accellerometer probe. Seeme modified their custom branch of the firmware to use that pin for the accelerometer instead of the original PS_ON function.

The probe pin is defined as Z_PROBE_PIN in "configuration.h" and the PS_ON_PIN is defined in "pins.h" (it's set to -1 to disable the feature in the Rambo configuration). To answer your question, you COULD move that function to another pin and assign PS_ON back to its original pin. Or you could put the PS_ON function on another pin. Either way, you'll have to modify the firmware to get what you want.
