Hi All,
I have just wired everything up on my Sumpod Aluminium (with the exception of the LCD and Rotary Encoder) and decided to connect it up to the computer and control it manually, however it seems that when I switch the power on the Z and Y axis begin to move while the X does nothing. I have used both Replicator G and Repitier Host, which both find a connection however the printer does not respond to any commands from the either program it just keeps moving the Z and Y axis in the same direction.
I have no idea what firmware is on the Arduino and pressing the reset button only seems to stop the machine for 3 seconds before it resumes moving the axis.
I'm asking is if anyone knows what is wrong or if they can tell me how to upload/change the firmware? (I have the Arduino IDE installed).
N.B. On Replicator G I used the Teacup (115200 Baud) as this was the only driver that was able to connect. All setting on Repetier were left as default.
I am new at this and any help is appreciated.
Thank You.
Charlie
