Prusa mendal I2 Pronteer face Marlin error

[printbus]

I'm away from the computer and printer, but there are LEDs on the RAMPS board that indicate output states. I can't remember which LED it would be, but do you see an LED go on and off as you turn the extruder heater on and off?

Hi, please find an artistic view of my board.....

The EXT is the extruder heater wires, and the bed is well.. the bed heater wires.

i have circled the LEDs that come on when each device is activated, and have pointed them to the word, hopefully it is self explanatory

The normal Marlin config has the primary extruder heater on D10. You show it wired to D9.

ahhhhh, will re wire that now

unless there is a setting in the config that i can just reassign the wires?

[jakers181008]

also another questions that is completly random, do i need to be powering the arduino separately along with the USB and power to the shield?

[printbus]

Yes, every pin is mapable. That's the flexibility and the frustration of marlin. File pins.h does the mapping. Again, I'm away from the resources to tell you exactly what to change, so it'd probably be easier to move the wires.

No. RAMPS and the lcd add on get power from the Arduino board.

[jakers181008]

ouch.... the extruder really does heat up quickly doesn't it.....


well that is now working.. so now really there is the motors settings and the LCD unit menu that need setting up correctly

thanks so much for the help already!! YOU'RE A STAR

I remember the video focusing on the z motors. Do x and y work, or are there issues with them too? Were the trimpots on the RAMPS stepper drivers adjusted as part of your build?

[jakers181008]

hi, same issue with all motors, sorry dont know what you mean with trimpots, the build manual was rubbish, never go with geeetech as their customer support is rubbish, anyways, yeah it's the same issue with the x and y and the extruder motors
