Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

ok so i have built my printer it appears to be working i was able to clear the eprom without problems and it looks like it takes so i load the repetier.ino to arduino and get an error message. i am not converscent enough in arduino to figure out what is wrong with the program so i am including a jpg to see whats up.
any help would be great

Wild guess: it looks like you're missing some files, so that the main objects aren't defined.

We also only see three errors in that error window, but the scrollbar implies that there's LOTS more above it. What's the first error you hit?

for some strange reason it has a lot of blank spots above the errors shown, dont know why but it is blank above those errors. and i have put all of the files i downloaded into the arduino directory so i should not be missing anything, hopefully

looking at your screenshot, you should have a ton of tabs across the top for all the files, when you download the firmware zip, extract it... then open the repetier.ino file in the /repetier/ dir, it wont compile if all the associated files dont open with the main... if you only get one tab at the top, it didnt fully open.

well i got it figured out, when ardiuno opened the repeater it moved it to a different directory without all of the other files so once i copied all of the other files to the same location everything worked as advertised and i am now to the point of running the machine. YEA happy time
thanks

well now to another problem i am on to the step for adjusting the end stops and no matter how much or what i do to the screws it still hits the glass really hard on the first and the second and third are like 1/2" above the bed so i have absolutely no idea what i am doing wrong i am totally frustrated to the point of wanting to throw it out the window. the instruction are not clear on this section and for how important this is the instruction need much more work because these do not work.
taking a break now to regain my zen

sounds silly, but make sure the screws are on the proper side so the screws hit the endstops, I've seen it on the wrong side before, and adjustment wont work..

...and the instructions ARE clear.

ok on page 220 of the manual where it shows in bold
g28
g0 z5 x0 y90 f3500

it says if you pinch the paper really hard to adjust the end stop screw 2 full turns to the right but it does not say which end stop screw to adjust. same for the two follow on commands so if i am adjusting the wrong screw i have no way of telling. so i am probably doing it wrong but have no idea what is right, which code applies to which axis.
sorry i have been at this for hours and no luck so far

When you execute the 2nd command it's going to go to the base of a tower. Adjust that screw.
