Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

What trips? The mains power supply? The power supply unit (PSU)? The fuse on the Rambo board? Myself I'm using the PSU that was supplied by SeeMECNC, pretty sure it was 430W On the workbench I assume you have everything connected via the Rambo. How many wires are connected from the PSU to the Rambo ...

It is the seemecnc 430 watt power supply. The power supply just quits after about a minute of running both the extruded and heated bed. Either the extruder or bed will run forever but not both at the same time. In a few minutes I can turn it off and then back on and all is good. The wiring seems to ...

I have my Rambo running on the workbench now. I have most things running. The 400 something watt atx powers supply I got from seemecnc doesn't seem to be up to the task. I can have either the extruded or the bed running but not both at the same time. The ps trips after only a short time. Is this ...

Update... Pressing home all spins the x, y, and z motors a small amount. Good! Heat 1 has voltage. My extruded is connected to heat 0 so changes are needed.

The good news is the it's alive.

Thanks for the suggestion. I got the repetier max and loaded it up. The LCD now seems to be functional. Hooray! It makes noise and displays information. Nothing seems to turn on. No motors. No bed heat. No extruded heat. Where is the on button? Sorry for the blatantly noob question. Thanks! Things ...

I reflashed the Rambo with repetier. Did configuration.h. Everything compiled but still no LCD. At first it fussed about motor current defined, fixed that... Still no joy but now x, z, and e motors lock up. (A good thing). When I loaded the default configuration.h with board type 33 y and e locked ...

I have used "fresh" downloads. Both repetier and marlin. I have looked at all the documentation I can find. I don't care what the thing does. Anything! Motors turning would be thrilling. LCD having anything but white squares would be great. I will load any working configuration.h file. Any firmware ...

OK. I'm not having any luck getting anything out of my Rambo with smart controller. The LCD won't compile... I have both Marlin and repetier firmware and can now upload them to the Rambo. Configuration.h fails to compile when I try to include the LCD. So, does anyone have a configuration.h file for ...

Yes from seemecnc. They are male header pins, not female. Hopefully the picture worked. Definitely not shrouded as the ordering images show. Will they work anyway? No danger to Rambo or LCD?

I got my smartcontroller to Rambo adapter kit yesterday... The 2 by 5 header pins for the LCD cables are Unshrouded instead of shrouded like the images show. If I install them it will be possible to plug the LCD cables in upside down or backwards. I know plugging the wrong cable into the wrong plug ...

Thanks for the info. I have had vast experiences with that type of connector. Hate them! Break a wire and you have to cut the whole thing off and replace it. Extra parts, extra time, Shorter wires. Got noparts you loose big time. The only winner is the manufacturer. Smaller board, probably easier. I ...

Ok, is it just me or does everyone think those plugs for the motors are obnoxious to deal with? Really, the "official"crimping tool for the terminals costs over $290.00 plus shipping. I know there are less expensive tools available but I don't have one. Not easily fixed if something goes wrong ...

I got parts!

I'm planning to build a repstrap. It will be a few weeks before I get to actually begin. Now I getting the mother board and computer up and running. I got the extruded and hot bed wired. Not configured yet though...

I'm looking forward to this adventure.

I plan to build a repstrap. Is the firmware the same for a delta and a Cartesian printer with only a change in the configuration.h or is the firmware different?

Got configs for a prusa i3 or similar with and without LCD?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks,

Reading the info off the Rambo seems hopeless... Or at least not worth the trouble.

That leaves the old fashion way. Somebody should know what the Rambo ships with and have a copy to share.

Or the other old school way... Just overwrite what's there.

Is it marlin or repetier?

Thanks

I have a stock out of the box Rambo 1.1b and I'm wondering what the config files are. Or how to read them off the Rambo... Or?

Thanks,
