Geeetech Acrylic Prusa I3 pro B problem arduino mega

Post by Titan »

Hello,



I ordered a Geeetech Acrylic Prusa I3 pro B, after building it (cf. https://www.geeetech.com/Documents/Geeetech prusa I3 pro&pro B building instruction.pdf) i installed drivers and software Repetier on my computer (cf. https://www.geeetech.com/Documents/Geeetech Prusa I3 pro&pro B User Manual.pdf)

2 problèmes appeared :



-The first one is that a motor (X axis) turn in the wrong direction. So I tried to reopload the firmware (as told in section 8.2), problem is that arduino gave me the followoing error :

Code: Select all

Ce rapport pourrait être plus détaillé avec
l'option "Afficher les résultats détaillés de la compilation"
activée dans Fichier -> Préférences.
I took the firmware from http://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic ... 10&t=17046.

-The other problem is that extruder thermometer tells something like 350°C, (He is cold). So I have the impression that this blocks all the printer. I can see the message Err: MAXTEMP on the LCD screen also.

Is it possible to set (calibrate) the thermometer manually, or is it dead ?

Thanks a lot in advance for helping me! Best regards,

Hi,
The first issue,Arduino 1.0.1 may fix it,you can have a try:

Hi,
I've finnished to build my Geeetech Acrylic Prusa I3 pro B yesterday night.
After checking that all were pluged where it should be, i've turned on the printer and connected it on my computer.
The screen on the printer is ok, and repetier is connected with the printer.
But impossible to make a homing. I've a timeout error.

I've checkeg with the screen to move axes : z move and good direction, y move and good direction, but x move wrong direction.
So i decided to upload a new firmware (this given in the geeetech manual).
I runed it with arduino 1.0.1 and same problem of timout.
I follow all the step, all should be good.

I unpluged all wire from the card, except screen usb and power, and still this problem.

I hope someone could help me

Thanks

Hi,@bonato.gh
Was your board detected by your computer successfully?
And did you select the right serial port and board in Arduino?
If all of the above are right and the issue still exists.You can try it on another computer to see if there is a difference(had the same problem and solved it on another computer).

Hi,

I've checked the serial port it's the good.
There is the same problem on an other computer.
The board is only detected when there is the power turned on, if I plug only the USB wire (without power), computer doesn't see the board.
Have a nice day

Same exact issues on a win Vista ultimate laptop and a surface pro 3 win 10 pro laptop, works on a win 10 home workstation at defualt baud on com 4. I'll check with a USB hub on the workstation to see if it's not a voltage issue. If it's not that, then it's probably related to permissions, user account controls and policy and port blocking potentially Antivirus eg Norton.

It's evident that the host does send a connection and the i3 pro B reacts by flashing the screen once, but the log shows fail to receive start up com forcing... and a quick look under manual shows no bed or Extruder ambient Temps... (temps = 0 no connection)

Ran server it checked all baud rates, and failed to connect, and arduino IDE connected at 9600baud and uploaded marlin on com 3 on the surface pro win 10. If I had 140 I'd buy simplify 3d to test it's control.

The issue is definitely in repetier and windows. I'm using 1.6.2 and also tested 1.6.0 and as far back as .96 same issues on the laptop. Workstation running 1.6.2 in win 10 home prints great no crashes no issues.

Still works through the USB hub on the win 10 workstation, so it's either a driver or permissions issue, getting closer!

These drivers solved my issues for the Surface Pro 3 win 10 pro
I'm guessing the package will solve the vista issues as well.
