RAMBO wont run my g code

Post by gmh39 »

So I have been printing calibration objects all day. I just now went to print yet another calibration cube and the RAMBO board won't run the G code. The bed wont heat up, neither will the hotend. There is a yellow blinking light on the RAMBO board. It is the led labeled "TX" immediately behind the USB connector. Not sure if that is any indication of what the problem is.

Any one know what's wrong?

Possibly a communication failure. Power down the computer and printer.
If you have a different USB cable try that. If you don't have another one remove the present cable on
both ends then reinsert the cable. Report back the results.

I don't think it is a communication error. I was able to use the manual controls for heating the hotend, extruding/retracting, and sent the printer home with G28.

My guess is that the automotive fuse is blown. From what I have read on the Wiki, it is the fuse that controls the heated bed. I'm headed up to the auto store to pick up a new one and see if that works.

I'll let you guys know.
