Rambo Servo Setup for Auto Bed Leveling for Noobs

[voodoo28]

My prints vary in size. Are you refering to tall or large on the platform?

My prints vary in size. Are you refering to tall or large on the platform?

large in the x y direction, edges seem to be more of an issue compared tyo teh outer edxges.

I was trying to compile the configuration.h file tonight in preparation for Auto Bed Leveling and I get the following errors when compiling. I know nothing about this stuff so I am hoping someone who does know something about it can help me out. Below is the output:

get arduino 1.06 and see if that fixes the issue. I don't think 1.6 is supported right now. you'll also want to compile for the Rambo board not the arduino mega.

In the reprapelectro user manual they explain how to setup arduino so that it will give the option for a rambo board instead of just the base mega

[walkercreations]

Thanks sniffle. I will give that a try. I just got to work so it will be later this afternoon before I can try it but will let you all know if that fixes it.

Update:

I was able to use a laptop at work to compile it and it does work with Arduino 1.0.6 without any errors. Many thanks sniffle for that bit of info.

I have one last question before moving on to the last part of implementing Auto Bed Leveling. I have installed the hardware, flashed the firmware, and have done preliminary tests to make sure that it is all working as expected. I can extend and retract the probe. Something I have noticed is that when I Extend the probe I get no warning or anything on the lcd. When I Retract the probe, I noticed that I get a message on the lcd of something like "endstop hit z" I was wondering if that is normal prior to moving on to the next step or do I need to change something in the firmware prior? When that error is showing on the lcd, i can not move the printer until I reset it.

Update:

I have spent the last 2 hours trying to get this setup and working. I go through the steps per Zennmaster's 3rd video and get my offsets. I enter them into the Configuration.h and when I try to upload it to my printer I get the following error:

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

[Schnupp]

Can you post your configuration.h so we can take a look at it?

[walkercreations]

Below is what I am trying to flash:

Configuration.h

[Roxy]

The error being flagged is in SanityCheck.h We need to see that file too.

In the auto bed leveling section try removing the decimals of #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 30.00 and #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 9.90 so that they are 30 and 10
