Does anyone have instructions for getting the Smoothieboard working with the Rostock Max?
If you could post your "config" file from the SD card it would be helpful.
I connected to the Smoothieboard using Rep-Host so the next step is?

Does anyone know the "arm_radius" for the Rostock Max? In the Repetier firmware, these might match that variable:
#define PRINTER_RADIUS 198.25
#define END_EFFECTOR_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET 33
#define CARRIAGE_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET 35
#define DELTA_RADIUS (PRINTER_RADIUS-END_EFFECTOR_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET-CARRIAGE_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET+0.0)

Also, my Rostock Max isn't moving far enough downwards to reach the bed at the correct height.

The problem was that the rambo 1.1 uses 1/8 microstepping and the Smoothieboard using 1/16th the steps per mm needed to be doubled.

DELTA_RADIUS is the equivalent of arm_radius I believe.
So it'll be 198.25 - 33 -35 or 130.25
