Drawing stops on first command

[i-make-robots]

• latest firmware is loaded and checked with Arduino serial window
• DrawbotGUI runs
• "HELLO WORLD" received from Drawbot.
• Configure Limits works.
• Jog Motors works.
• Drive Manual works.
• "hello_world_small" gcode loads
• "Start" works, drawing stops on first command.

Are you experiencing this problem? Please copy your log file. This will take some back and forth because I am unable to reproduce the results.

Dan, I have followed the instructions you provided at: http://www.marginallyclever.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2242&p=2488#p2488 and they do help, thx. I have confirmed, via the serial monitor window in Arduino, that the motors are working, the arduino works properly and I can send gcode the drawbot.

I get the following after configuring limits, loading the image and then trying to draw.

You should only see hello world once. It looks as though your robot is rebooting over and over. I don't understand where it is getting "OR ⁄˛" from. What happens if you type

CONFIG T20.0 B-20.0 L-20.0 R20.0 I-1 J-1;

TELEPORT X0 Y0 Z0;

?

Also, is your 12v power supply connected? I wonder if your board is rebooting because something is drawing too much current.

[i-make-robots]

I've just released a patch that should fix the issue. Please get version 0.8.6, update your firmware, and report back. Thank you!

[i-make-robots]

Confirmed fixed.

[sodanovels]

Confirming the confirm. Thanks Dan. Awesome. Will now mount and calibrate and I'm off to make sketches!

[i-make-robots]

Awesomesauce! Please share what you make, I'd love to blog about it.
