#1 Help and Support » Z-axis G code not performed properly » 2016-10-13 01:53:40

Not sure if this is an issue with NanoDLP or the Marlin software I have on my Arduino, but:
I can move the Z-axis using the calibration commands or sending G-code through the terminal. It's been acting funny. I can go up any amount (eg. G1 Z21) but any time I want to go down (eg. G1 Z-12) it will go down the same amount it went up in the last command, regardless of the distance I tell it to go down.
It's kinda buggy. It also only accepts the negative Z command and moves once. If I repeat the command it does nothing at all. The RAMPS board replies "ok".

Probably not an issue with NanoDLP, but I swapped out my Arduino, RAMPS board, and motor controller, and tried a couple versions of Merlin, so I'm kinda at a loss.

Anyone else out there have this issue, or any have any insight for me?

Thanks,
Adrian

#2 Re: Help and Support » Can't get Pi and Ramps 1.4 to communicate » 2016-07-29 23:44:44

I did actually find a solution. I had the set the usb serial port on the Pi to the correct one. Apparently you can use putty to ssh to the Pi to find the correct port, but I couldn't get that to work. I tryed the "common" options in the drop-down menu and found one that just started working.
Check the log on the "home page" to see if the ramps board connects.

Hope this helps.

Hello, and thanks in advance.

Just started building my nanoDLP top down printer and got all my hardware in. I've got a Pi 2 B, nock-off Arduino and Ramps 1.4 (from China).
I have the pi set up and can visit its webpage so I don't think that's a problem.
The arduino, ramps, stepper driver, and motor all work and I've tested them using this little program:
http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/3/34 … stCode.pde

After setting the arduino up with Marlin (found here: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin) and plugging it into the Pi via USB I cannot move the motor manually using the buttons found on the Z-Axis calibration page.
From what I can gather I've done everything correctly.

Any obvious things I'm missing? It seemed too easy for it to work properly first go-around.

Thanks,
Ontron258
