On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

I use USB to connect the raspberrypi and mage2560.Arduino using the sprinter firmware. When I manually adjust the Z axis in cloud dashboard , the motor will be able to move normally. However, to increase the STL parts and start printing, motor can not move, the indicator light on Arduino is not blinking. which indicates that the signal is not transmitted through the usb to the arduino. Is there any problem in my setting or nanodlp still does not support sprinter firmware.

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

I am not familiar with sprinter firmware but usually they should work at-least with degraded functionality. Copy details on terminal panel, also if you can attach debug info.

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Is it the log of manual movements? Start the printer and send log again after couple of layers.

Go to setup page/tools tab and press debug info button and attach exported file. Upload the files/photos somewhere and put link here.

I can't upload the previous debug photo.

Maybe nanodlp can't send data to arduino i think, because the arduino gives no twinkle when it should drive motor, which means no signal sent to arduino.

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Change your distribution to muve3d by clicking on change distro on tools tab / setup page.
You are directly sending pulse and not connected to RAMP.

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

I am having the exact same problem with my top down setup. I am running RAMPS/Arduino/Spinter and it is working perfectly with Creation Workshop. In nanoDLP I can move the z-axis with both the controls and in the terminal, but they don't move when trying to print (tried the calibration plate). I have put the exact settings that work from Creation Workshop into the hardware settings.

I have also tried changing to the muve3d distribution and that is acting the same. Any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks!
Corey

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Choose relative positioning when using G91.

If you want to try muve3d distro, switch to patched marlin firmware.

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Hey Shahin,

I've switched to relative positioning, but I am still not getting any motor movement when printing. It's like it does Cure Time > Shutter (which I disabled, but still shows in the UI) > Next Layer > Repeat. Should it display any UI updates about movement?

I have also switched back to the generic distro, any ideas? Anything I can provide to troubleshoot?

Thanks again for the help,
Corey

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Yes, it should display a message about movement. Please, share your profile page, maybe there is no gcode to send.

Hey Shahin,

Here's screen shots of both the hardware page and the profiles page. I really appreciate the assistance.

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Jaidek,
you need to add gcode to before / after gcode boxes.

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Hey Shahin,

Thanks for the help, that was the issue. I thought the gcode in the hardware section was all that was needed and these sections were for optional or advanced gcode. I now have movement! However, my system is a top down and the movement is reverse, I assume I can just use expressions and do * -1?

Thanks!

Re: On sprinter firmware Z axis control problem

Or you can change direction through setup
