Viki installation issue

Post by jdacal » Sat Aug 02, 2014 8:47 am

MakerGear is working with me on this, but since its the weekend maybe one of you has installed it and run into a similar problem?

I have the M2 with 24v power supply, 24 volt extruder. I've installed the latest firmware for the Viki from the Makergear wiki site. I have sent Makergear images of my wiring connections and they have confirmed it is wired correctly.

The issue I'm having is that when I power on the M2 the Viki LCD just flashes once quickly and then nothing. Makergear sent me a replacement and it does the exact same thing. So I'm thinking its either a firmware issue or a Marlin board problem. The printer is less than a month old, so it has the newest board.

If I re-flash the Marlin board to the standard firmware the printer continues to work fine. But when I flash with Viki LCD version of software I just get the flash on the LCD and end of story.

This is what I get from the printer when powered up with Viki firmware:

Josh was able to get me running on this. It was my error. Looking at the picture of the install I had confused which connector to plug the Viki "A" harness into. Works like a champ now. :)

Thanks Josh!
