Smoothieboard 5XC-R #54

Closed Wolfgang1us closed 3 years ago

Wolfgang1us commented 3 years ago

Hello,

after not beeing successful with the MKS SGen, I bought a 5XC-R. Smoothieware runs and all LEDs are blinking the way they should. As soon as I install the precompiled GRBL LPC Smoothieboard version, firmware.bin is renamed into FIRMWARE.CUR but only the first red led is on. Any idea?

Best regards, Wolfgang.

cprezzi commented 3 years ago

That's normal. Grbl doesn't use the other LEDs.

Wolfgang1us commented 3 years ago

Good to known. Laserweb still disconnects after a couple of seconds , even with the .env file in place. Lightburn now finds the board, complaning about the safety door.

cprezzi commented 3 years ago

It seems that LaserWeb sometimes doesn't read the .env file and therefore doesn't send a reset command after connecting. You can try to reset the board manually right after connecting vom LaserWeb.

Wolfgang1us commented 3 years ago

Do you mean push the reset button on the board or CTRL - X?

Not working: Laserweb keeps disconnecting after a couple of seconds

Working so far: All parameters are set using the Lightburn console. Now I got stuck with Error 13 Safety Door. No moves possible for further tryout.

Good morning, nobody able to help with error 13? Do I need to set a jumper?

cprezzi commented 3 years ago

@Wolfgang1us Yes, I mean the reset button on the board.

The defauult setting is using the feed hold pin as safety door switch. You probably need to set a jumper to GND.

Hint: Grbl goes to alarm state after boot / connect until you run homing ($H).

@cprezzi Thank you for your help. Just checked. LW: As soon as I connect and press the reset button it looses the port and disconnects. LB: Finds Grbl 1.1f ok and error:13 Sending $H it writes

Homing [VER:1.1f.20171008] [OPT:VMD,249,8192] Target buffer size found ok error:13

Nothing happens.

I'm not sure that the error:13 is realy comming from grbl. It could also be a error message of Lightburn. Did you check if this is documented on Lightburn?

cprezzi commented 3 years ago

The usage of the feed hold pin for door switch is configured with a compile switch in config.h https://github.com/cprezzi/grbl-LPC/blob/bbba8130b395de95a399d3ce31aaaccfaa339aff/grbl/config.h#L190. You can try to disable the door switch completely by remarking this line with a // in front.

@cprezzi Thank you very much. Commenting out the door pin solves error 13. Lightburn is now working. I am still not able to connect to Laserweb...
