Hello,
Maybe someone can help me with this problem.
Which pins are used from the rambo board to move the E1 motor. Because the motor doesn't move at all.
Because i am wanting to use 2 extruders.
Kind regards,
HighDangerr
I can't control the second EZstruder

Re: I can't control the second EZstruder
Firstly you have to enable multiple extruders in the firmware, I think the default pins in pins.h are correct.
Both motors I believe share channel "E" in the GCode
you can select the second extruder with the GCode
T2
And subsequent commands affect the second hotend and the second extruder.
The default pinouts for the second heater/fan are correct in the firmware, but you'll need disable the peek fan or move it to Fan2 to get the heater to work.
The extruder won't move until the hotend is hot.

From memory, there is a pin number set for it in configuration.h, it needs to not be the same as the pin in pins.h corresponding to the extruder output.HighDangerr wrote:thank you for your response.

I vaguely remember changing pins in pins.h to get the extruder on the right pins, but it's been a while since I made the changes.
There are a number of dual extruder threads on here with descriptions of the changes that need to be made.
