Horizontal Radius missing in EEPROM

[Cobaltrod]

I have a Rostock Max V1. I replaced the Rambo with an Azteeg X3pro, and the LCD display with the Viki2 display. I use Repetier version .92.
I'm trying to calibrate the printer but I can't because "Horizontal Radius" is not present in EEPROM. Making changes to "Printer_Radius" in firmware appears to have no effect in calibration despite turning turning EEPROM support on and off and going through the calibration again and again.

I have a "horizontal Rod Radius at 0.0" in EEPROM but changes to this don't persist through firmware updates. Can someone please help me figure out a way to calibrate without being able to change " Horizontal radius"

Thanks, Rodney

I don't believe that the Smoothie and clones use EEPROM for this type of setting. I think you'd have to make this sort of change in the confix.txt file on the SD card.

[Nylocke]

Have you tried changing the value in EEPROM and now worrying about reflashing? Generally people flash the firmware once and just change the value in EEPROM thereafter. Also the point of EEPROM is to prevent a reflash from reseting calibrated values. If you want to reset them then upload the EEPROM_Clear program in the IDE (file->examples->EEPROM->eeprom_clear or something like that)

[Nylocke]

Jim this is the X3 Pro, not the X5 mini. The X3 series still uses the ATMEGA 2560, same thing as the RAMBo and RAMPS.

I have never seen "horizontal radius" in EEPROM or anywhere else, and have never been able to calibrate my 3D printer, even with the original Rambo installed. Another thing I have never been able to do is Print with EEPROM mode set to 1, z-height is all screwey,head crashes happen, homing issues occur,

For Once I'd just like to be able calibrate and print like everything should as documented, by have literally tried to fix things to calibrate and successfully print.

For Years!

Where are you getting your firmware from? Can you post the config.h file thats apart of it?

[Cobaltrod]

I can post the config.h. I'm not sure where this version of of FW came from. I think it was originally from a link in the Rostock max v1 assembly guide, then maybe imported in the Repetier FW config tool, updated to my config with Azteeg x3 pro and viki2 But over the years I have tried many Repetier FW versions, and like I said, I've never been able to never find or set horizontal radius or been able to calibrate my printer. Id love to find a solution. I'll add my config.h and EEPROM config. Thanks for the help.~ Rodney

Okay, Here's my config.h

And Here's my EEPROM Settings...

[Nylocke]

Your problem is right up at the top, EEPROM_MODE should be any value between 1 and 255. 0 disables EEPROM. I would just set it to 1. All the EEPROM_MODE means is if its > 0 then it is enabled, and it stores the value in EEPROM. Then if you reupload the firmware with a different EEPROM_MODE value (say instead of 1 you do 2) it will see that the number has changed and it will rewrite the current EEPROM values with the new flashed values. If it is the same number it will just keep the old settings.

[Cobaltrod]

I put EEPROM_MODE up at the top for convenience in changing it's value. Changing EEPROM mode from 0->1, 1->2,1->0, 2->1 to load firmware to EEPROM is something I've done dozens of times with multiple Repetier Firmware versions, from SeeMeCNC Website links as well as FW generated with the repetier firmware configuration tool. All in an attempt to calibrate and print. My problem is that I have never been able to correctly calibrate the printer, as per the Rostock Max V1 or V2 docs, because Adjustments to Printer_Radius in the Firmware as per the V1 docs make no difference, (even changing EEPROM_MODE every way possible and going through the tower adjustments each time) as instructed. And for the V2 docs, calibration is via adjustments to "Horizontal Radius" in EEPROM, but I've never been able to see, get, find, locate or set "Horizontal_ Radius" in EEPROM, Because I've never seen it, with any Repetier Firmware version I've every tried. So I'm really hoping someone can help me figure out why Horizontal Radius is never there and how I can get it there, so I can calibrate and print, and enjoy this thing, instead of being frustrated with it.

Regarding Firmware versions, actually, I've been stuck with the same .92.8 version for half a year now. I reached out for help with that issue a month ago, via commenting in another thread, http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=8778, but hadn't gotten any responses.
My Issue is NOT being able to get my VIKI2 display working with other or older Firmware versions. I have it working in this version only, and haven't been able to get it to work with other versions. I'm trying to find which chunks of code dealing with the VIKI2 display or UI, I need to copy to other firmware versions so that my display works. I need help resolving this issue before moving forward with other firmware versions in an attempts to resolve the issue with the missing horizontal radius.
I have already tried, but have not been successful, so I must assume I'm missing something, somewhere...

Grab the 4th Ed. user manual and follow the calibration procedure in the appendix. If you're changing the horizontal radius and seeing no change, you're skipping a step somewhere.

Jim this is the X3 Pro, not the X5 mini. The X3 series still uses the ATMEGA 2560, same thing as the RAMBo and RAMPS.

Nice catch... I was obviously skimming and massed that.

[Cobaltrod]

But Gene, the calibration procedure calls for adjusting "Horizontal Radius"' in the EEPROM, and I can't do that Because it's not listed in my EEPROM settings. If I can get it there I'd be ecstatic to finally, for once, calibrate my printer.

[Nylocke]

I made a basic config with this tool http://www.repetier.com/firmware/v092/

Be careful when uploading this, I'm not entirely sure about your configuration, it seems that you have a Diamond or something funky set up. Try uploading it and seeing if things start to behave a little better. You can change the config.h file with the configuration tool (the one linked above in the website) by choosing the configuration.h file. It will load everything I set up. The Viki should work and if the configuration.h file you linked is correct the motors should move the correct direction and home correctly. Just keep your finger on the power switch and position the effector at mid point in case.

Hey Nylon,
I installed the v.92.9 firmware you created, made a few changes to Baudrate and MaxLengths, and compiled and uploaded the Firmware and EEPROM. I've attached a side by side of my v.92.8 FW and your V.92.9 FW below for your review. They both contain some, but not all, of the same setting names and the listing order of the settings is different. But most importantly, Neither contain the setting for "Horizontal Radius", which is what we're trying to find, so we can change to calibrate the printer. Any idea why it'snot in your v.92.9 either and/or how we can get it in EEPROM settings?

[geneb]

I'm willing to bet it's the "Horizontal rod radius" field. If you've got the new arms & carriages, set it to the default value I show in the 4th Ed. user guide and go from there.

[Nylocke]

It is the Horizontal Rod radius at 0.0. Looks like its good.

[geneb]

0.0 isn't a valid value if it actually is the HR value.

[Nylocke]

I was saying "Horizontal Rod Radius at 0.0" since that is what "Horizontal Radius" is called in the EEPROM settings. But yeah the original config has some problem (also a lot of weird extra settings I've never seen in any version of Repetier Firmware). The one I sent you is what should be showing up.

[bvandiepenbos]

I think you have to send the "Clear EEPROM" sketch from Arduino THEN reflash firmware to get it to work.
It is in the example sketches

This drove me nuts until I figured out what was going on.
And has tripped me up a few times since, if I forget this step.

[Cobaltrod]

I was able to use .92.9 FW generated. I followed the calibration steps in the appendix of the 4th Ed Users manual as instructed and changed "Horizontal Rod Radius at 0.0" when the calibration steps specified changing "Horizontal Radius". the Initial value there was 130, and I did two .5 increments to reach calibration at 131. Finally calibrated and printing better than ever. Thanks for the help. ~ Rod

Glad it worked for you. If you have any more troubles feel free to ask.
