Bringing Fried M2 Back from Dead

[pyronaught]

Check your baud rate setting. It should be 115200. If it is, try all the others, starting with 250000.

That was it! (slapping forehead). That's almost as bad as forgetting to plug the power cord in. Somehow it had switched to 19200 and wasn't working with that. The weird thing is I started up two jobs this morning on two different printers without changing that, then went back to trying to get the broken one to work. Does it save the baud rate for each port? That's the only thing I can think of since each M2 is assigned a different com port.

Thanks!

So it's all working now with the new firmware (old firmware actually) and no more z motor problem.

Except now I spaced the bowden tube! I tried some plastic tubing I had laying around that is a little large in diameter, but the filament sticks and can't pull through it, so apparently that tube can't be just any material. If it isn't teflon, it won't work.

It's always something!

Hobby shops sometimes carry it......

(Just don't break anything installing it...chuckle!)

I searched everywhere and can't find it. The only way things ever get this lost is when I put them somewhere "safe" so I don't lose them. Then later I'm completely unable to reproduce the original logic that leads to that "safe" place. Ten years later I'll find it though.

Checked under the machine? They tend to roll under there to hide.

They also like to be invisible in the bag when unpacking a new machine. I've had to dig a few out of the trash because I couldn't see them in the bag.

Then there's the Toddler Of Destruction running around, nothing is safe. I find my tools in the yard all the time. I had to remove the door to my office and install a child proof gate because he figured out how to pick the lock on the door (but can't figure out those gate latches yet). He calls the M2s "baby robots," which I guess is kind of accurate when you think about it.

I stored a 13mm deep-well socket on the inside of a lower control arm on my Escort way-back-when. It's this upward-facing U-shaped cavity that holds sockets perfectly. It also renders the socket COMPLETELY invisible from all angles, and the damn thing requires a 13mm deep-well to reassemble so I could drive to the store and get a new one.

It seemed like a logical place...
