Hello,
I just finished building a Rostock. I seem to be having some issues with my electronics/firmware. I am using the richrap firmware (linked here: [github.com]). Is this a good firmware to use?
I am using RAMPS 1.4 electronics.
My first issue is with homing. When I push the auto home button on the printers LCD, it does nothing. You can hear the motors lock up, but there is no movement. Additionally, when I go to the prepare menu and select "move axis", I get weird behaviour. The x and y axes will only move in one direction. If I turn the encoder down, they will move down, but if I turn the encoder up, it does not move. The Z axis works fine both ways. If I use Pronterface on my laptop, they will move both ways. When I use pronterface to move the X and Y axes, the printer will move all three towers to move the head back and forth / left and right. When I use the controls on the printer, x moves one tower, y moves another tower, etc. Is this normal? How do you properly home a Rostock?
I also am having trouble with my extruder motor. It does not seem to respond to commands at all. What could be causing this?
I have attached my configuration.h file.
I'm still really new to this stuff so I really appreciate your help. Let me know if you need anymore info.
Thanks.
