Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I am looking to use the case light function in the firmware (repetier 92.6). I see how to turn it on and off > M355. How would I go about physically locating the pin and finding out what pin it is in the firmware to activate / assign it. I have searched but can't find an answer.

The wiki page confuses me.

Thanks
Tony

I believe it's pin 13, which is also used for PWM-3, and is physically pin PB7. (this is for the Rambo) I believe that the LED_PIN in pins.h (repetier firmware), is where you would find the pin, and RAMBO development would be where you translate arduino pin numbers to physical numbers. http://reprap.org/wiki/Rambo_development

Yes, this is for the Rambo, should have mentioned that. Thanks, I'll check it out.

I found an easy solution - I put #define CASE_LIGHTS_PIN ORIG_FAN2_PIN in the Configuratin.h file, and simply wired my LED lights to the fan2 connector on the header.

With a M355/1 or M355/0 in your start /or end script you and control your lights. There is also a new control available in the LCD menu under Quick settings to toggle on or off.

I like my machine to warm up, print the purge line, pause of a second and then "boom" all the lights come on and the show stars. It adds a cool factor.

I am easily amused.

Me too apparently because that sounds pretty cool!

That is an excellent idea and I think I will give it a try! Thanks!
