rostock max v2 with e3d cyclops - firmware troubles. repetier 0.91, RAMBo
Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2017 12:06 am
Hey there,
I recently re-wired my v2 for dual extrusion, upgraded the skates/arms/effector, and really would love to start printing again.
However, I can't seem to get the hot end to heat up using repetier firmware. I had been using repetier 0.91 with the RAMBo with good results, but adding the 2nd extruder seems to disable any heating of the hot end.
I started with this thread about the e3d chimera, as it uses almost all the same settings, I just need to control one hot end heater and thermistor, however, for both extruders.
I've been searching through the boards, haven't found anything about this (at least with my many search terms) but I know some folks are successfully printing with a max v2 and cyclops.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

symptoms and testing
- all new solder and wiring connections are tested and work.
- uploading the previous firmware will allow me to heat my hot end as ext0. I notice LED2 and LED3 light up on the RAMBo
- making only a few changes as detailed above to my firmware, setting the ext0 temperature causes LED3 to light, but not LED2. the hot end doesn't change temperature. likewise, setting the ext1 temperature also causes LED3 to light, but not LED2, with no change in temperature
- using all other changes in my firmware, just defining NUM_EXTRUDER 1 in Configuration.h will let me heat up the hot end (LED2 and LED3 light up).
