Controlling robot stepper motors with GT2560 board

[btallis]

Hello All-

I am familiar with the GT2560 board since I have them on my 2 printers. I recently printed a 3D Robot that is controlled by stepper motors. So, I figured I would use at GT2560 to "drive" the motors since it has arduino built in.

However, the steppers don't move. I can see the leds flashing on the board when I run a sketch, but no stepper movement.

I heard a rumor that the firmware purposely shuts down the stepper motors until the extruder temperature reaches 170c. If so, do you know how I can turn this feature off since my robot won't have an extruder (or sensor)

Thank you-

Brad

Hi,you can change the related value of firmware to turn this feature off,as shown in this picture.

.Replace 170 with the temperature you need.
