Hi again 4lynne ! Strange, I did not receive any notifications about your new messages, so sorry for the long absence. Now, some clues :
-
Code: Select all
sudo yum install arduino.noarch arduino-core.noarch
: First, this is for Fedora, not Ubuntu. Do you use them both ? Dual boot ? Another computer ? There's no need to add repos for arduino in Fedora since it's already in the default ones. As far as I recall, you don't need to add repos in Ubuntu too. Arduino IDE is all already in there.
- You will only get this file "I3_Ramps_ino" from a firmware : I asked Geeetech support team for it, and they were kind enough to send it to me in an email. It's a zip file, so you have to decompress it and you will find the file "I3_Ramps_ino" inside. But now,
if your arduino ide is able to connect to your printer, it means AT LAST your printer is acknowledged by your computer, so DON'T modify your firmware if you don't need to.

made my self Root and got added to dial out group
Unecessary. I'm using both Fedora and Ubuntu, I don't need to be root, and I didn't put myself in the dial out group (which could only be needed with multiple computer users, when some of these users need additionnal permissions).

I AM back up to being able to move in 1 direction with program
:
this is great ^^, because it actually
means your 3d printer is working, with a communication established with your PC. Now, if you can only move in one direction (which is it ?), you may need to check your endstops, and your wiring. Maybe there's something wrong here.

sudo perl Build.PL
:
Stop it.
Right now. Don't even try to
compile Slic3r if you're not highly skilled for that. It took me hours to be able to compile Slic3r, and I can tell it's one of the hardest compilation I have ever successfully managed. Instead, I highly recommand you first try Slic3r
as a binary file (it's an executable).
You can get it here :
For PC x64 :
http://dl.slic3r.org/linux/slic3r-linux ... ble.tar.gz
For PC x86 :
http://dl.slic3r.org/linux/slic3r-linux ... ble.tar.gz
Inside you will find a folder named "bin" with slic3r in it. Give it a try !
Another app you could try is MatterControl. It's the one I'm using :
https://mattercontrol.appspot.com/downl ... ref=5NEP8W. It's a deb file, so it will work with Ubuntu but not Fedora.
Anyway, good luck with your printer and keep us on the loop !
