Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

A couple of the guys said something about a glitch in a recent version of Repetier firmware that overrides your acceleration values or something like that. There hasn't been a commit or an error report on the GitHub for the master Repetier or the SeeMeCNC fork for a few months...

Does anyone know if this is a CURRENT issue with the firmware, or is the current version all ponies and rainbows?

I'll take your silence as concurrence that there isn't a known bug

I'm not specifically noticing any behaviors that I would call show stoppers or render it unusable.

However that being said, it is current listed as status "Alpha" not even beta so I would proceed with caution.

I personally am loving it.

But I also very much doubt that you are running the same hardware and setup I am. An Azteeg X3 for controller, 32 microstep drivers, that sorta thing.

When you say CURRENT, do you mean the development branch? Or v0.83 (I think)?

Is there anything about the Azteeg that you think would make it operate differently? It has the 2560 just as the RAMBo...

Just wondering as I haven't heard much about it

Personally, I'm looking forward to modifying a RAMPS board for the DUE.

LOL, no it should operate exactly the same. Just as a Rambo should run the same as a Rumba, unfortunately reality is often different than it should be. Rambo's not in danger of losing it's more awsome than most status, all I will say on the topic.

But yes the Azteeg does offer a few things I find to be different and of value. The modularity of the setup is really nice. As is the high current 32 microstepping drivers you can switch to. I also really like that it has support right on board for 2 thermocouples, an additional hotend, 6 thermistor ports, all setup for a stepper driver for the 3rd hotend.

It also offers a different USB chip for comms, which in my case anyways has been a really blessing. I have a particularly noisey environment here electrically speaking. The Azteeg seems totally unaffect in any way where other boards all seem to.

I also think the quality of the board is really something you cannot put into typed words. It is a really well polished product with excellent fit and finish and is super well thought out an setup. Only thing close I would say is currently the Rambo.

My only tiny beef with the Azteeg, and I could in fact be wrong about this however, is that it only seems to support the Viki LCD panel, which is a nice panel and again has some features not seen elsewhere. But I was planning on using my LCD from seeme, or my full graphic LCD. I just have no where to plug them in at all. So not sure there.

There are other controllers I have on the way as well as on a waiting list to try, but they are no longer 100% compatible with the current controllers that dominate the scene. This is a great thing and a risk at the same time.

I have a beagle bones black and the bebop (or whatever they choose to call it) that I am very anxious to try. There is already some delta work being done on it also.

Are you sure you feel OK after puking up all those specs?

Are you using thermocouples? That one I do find to be a nice feature, plus the pluggable stepper drivers. That is the one thing I don't like about the RAMBO. Pop one and your SOL.

Is the LinuxCNC delta work what you're referring to? There are certainly good things to come...

Hey, you asked, LOL.

Don't ask me somethiing if you really don't want my answer!
