Need some help bad stepper driver

[jprochnow]

On the M2 I sent the buyer he has told me the y axis is not moving. We have verified over the phone that the stepper driver is no good. Since E1 is still available on the rambo how would I go about having the y signal be sent from there?

In pins.h in the firmware, find

Code: Select all

#if MOTHERBOARD == 301

That's the RAMBo section. Go down a page or so until you see all the Y pin settings. You want to replace the pin values with the relevant pins for the E1 driver. From my dual extruder firmware, they are:

Code: Select all

#define E1_STEP_PIN         33
#define E1_DIR_PIN          42
#define E1_ENABLE_PIN       25
#define E1_MS1_PIN 63
#define E1_MS2_PIN 64

(the min and max pins will remain the same).

This is what i'm seeing. I'm using the stock firmware for a silver z motor with a viki 1 lcd running 24v ps and and 40w heater. Found here http://makergear.wikidot.com/m2-lcd-panel near the bottom of the page.

#define Y_STEP_PIN 36
#define Y_DIR_PIN 49
#define Y_MIN_PIN 11
#define Y_MAX_PIN 23
#define Y_ENABLE_PIN 28
#define Y_MS1_PIN 69
#define Y_MS2_PIN 39
/*#define Y_STEP_PIN 33
#define Y_DIR_PIN 42
#define Y_MIN_PIN 11
#define Y_MAX_PIN 23
#define Y_ENABLE_PIN 25
#define Y_MS1_PIN 63
#define Y_MS2_PIN 64*/ //use for machine that needs Y axis on E1 header

#define E0_STEP_PIN 34
#define E0_DIR_PIN 43
#define E0_ENABLE_PIN 26
#define E0_MS1_PIN 65
#define E0_MS2_PIN 66

#define E1_STEP_PIN -1
#define E1_DIR_PIN -1
#define E1_ENABLE_PIN -1
#define E1_MS1_PIN -1
#define E1_MS2_PIN -1

So is this what I need to do? It appears that I just use the pin information between the / /

#define Y_STEP_PIN 33
#define Y_DIR_PIN 42
#define Y_MIN_PIN 11
#define Y_MAX_PIN 23
#define Y_ENABLE_PIN 25
#define Y_MS1_PIN 63
#define Y_MS2_PIN 64

[jsc]

Yes.

Great thanks for your help.
