Hi folks

Has anyone managed already to to install marlin v1.0.0 on gen6 ?

A lot of the settings and variables look completely different.
So in case you have it working, would be great when you could share it.

I tried it myself, but after uploading it does not look good with "driving" over the printbed.

Many thanks

I got it to work fine on my Prusa.

The main items to look at are:

X, y, z, e steps.
End stops
Thermistor / bed setup.

Most of the rest you will not need to touch until you want to fine tune it.

Here is my config http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2957826/Configuration.h for my Prusa.

Cheers

Many thanks Geoff,

x, y, and e seems to work as expected...
but since I uploaded marlin v.1 Z-axis does not move at all.

It's most likely a software issue, cause when I swap the connector z motor is working.

cheers

Have you setup the end stops correctly? If the minimum es is not set correctly the carriage won't move down at all.

Yes, the endstops where working correct.
I uploaded again 0.9.10B ant there all the homing was working perfect.

I have now downloaded v1.0.0.beta1-105 from github and will try again as there where some fixes on z-axis recently.

Will update soon

printing again... on marlin v.1.0

some of the comments where wrong in the configuration.h
had to set #define INVERT_X_DIR false on my orca
also i have to get rid of the waiting time before printing starts.

but can print now objects from slic3r.

many thanks for your assistance

Excellent, have fun.



If you mean the time it waits until temperatures stabilise and you are using Slic3r then setting the temp to zero in Slic3r does not delay.

I set my temps using pronterface and once it is at the right temp run the slic3r gcode that has been generated with temp set to zero.

Dó anyone know if mendelparts runs 1.0 on there orca 040 i saw that Erik on git had some standart setting in his configuretion.h beta that could point in that direciton.
Cant wait to get some firmware on my 040 myself but the 0.9.1b on mendelparts HomePage is a lot of work and since i saw that the orca did run 0.9.3 and the firmware list on the site. I Can only guess and ask. So anyone know witch firmware thère using ?

Tryed geoffd123 configuration file with eriks 1.0.0
but gets a shitload of compilation errors.
I recon its not just new bee plug and play !!!

The best way would be to get the source from GitHub, compile it to make sure it is ok for you copy of the Arduino software etc. Than manually take the fields from my config. over to the new version. I think Eric has changed a few of the config variable names etc.
