How can i connect my 3D printer? #1511

lin6328 commented 8 years ago

I am building a 3D printer.And my 3D printer based on STM32. I do not know what i should write that i can connect the cura .Cura and 3D printer needs what information,

Ghostkeeper commented 8 years ago

This is what I understood...

Cura connects via a COM port. It tries both baud rates 115200 and 250000. To verify a connection, Cura sends a temperature request to the printer: "M105". It waits for an answer. It checks whether the answer is a number.

To print, Cura sends the g-code over the COM port.

This all works well if the firmware is any Marlin variant.

Thank you .I try it now.

I can connect 3D printer now. But when i click printing, the machine doesn't work. However when i send G-code file through serial debugging tools, it works. I think cura maybe have send other message to 3D printer, and 3D printer will reply message to cura. Now, the question is what message they send··· @Ghostkeeper thank you very much.

Depends on what the problem is. What problem are you experiencing?

lin6328 commented 8 years ago

Marlin use 'N' to counter the gcode line.If the gcode is wrong,marlin will reply the wrong line to cura.But I do not use 'N' to counter.I think cura send the gcode one by one , it should not to be wrong.So whar is problem? @BagelOrb
