DaVinci 2.0A Feedback #94

Closed g-goessel closed 6 years ago

g-goessel commented 9 years ago

Yesterday I installed repetier on my DaVinci 2.0A (jumper J37, #define DAVINCI 3 and #define MODEL 1). I did a manual bed calibration and it seems to work fine.

But when I tried to upload the Arduino sketch I had an issue (with both 1.5.8 and 1.6.5 on Ubuntu), the compiler said that String.h was not found ( https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92/blob/master/src/ArduinoDUE/Repetier/Communication.cpp#L23 ) Communication.cpp:23:20: fatal error: String.h: No such file or directory

After googling I found that I had to replace the line with #include <string.h> and it flashed perfectly.

A feature that I am missing from the stock firmware is the fact that I could move my bed way lower. When the printing was done it would go almost all the way down but with repetier I can't have it lower than 150mm (when I try to move the bed with repetier-host it doesn't go any further). Is there any setting to change ?

And a disturbing thing is that the extruders name are quite inconsistent : on the screen they are called "left" and "right" (easy to understand), on the stock firmware they are called 1 and 2, with repetier host they are also called 1 and 2 but the are reversed (the 1 from stock is the right one and is called 2 by repetier). I think you should stick to the stock firmware naming.

When I try to pause/cancel/emergency stop the printing with repetier-host it is far from being immediate. I have to wait about 1 minute for the printer to obey my order. This is probaly linked with issue #25 .

When I am finished adding a new filament (this works fine) there is still a little bit of plastic (I only have ABS right now) that flows out. There is about 3cm of fine plastic which is quite a deal. I've never had this issue with the stock firmware.

Anyway I'm really happy with this firmware, I am finally free from the crappy XYZware, if you need any other feedback I would be happy to help you.

Ok, thanks a lot for your feedback

At the beginnig i had a lot of times black cubes on the lcd.. and some errors from the arduino flashing session.. Maybe the right way comes from right IDE version + right ArduinoDUE usb + that two stupid files in the right place in the AppData folder :) and the right usb plug sabato, 19 novembre 2016, 10:44PM +01:00 da Luc notifications@github.com :

yes black bar means variant.cpp is not well replaced

The flashing took a little longer than expected but, other than that the printer works great. The 2.0 prints fucking beautifully with repetier 0.92. Great work luc!!
