Marlin version

Software / Firmware
1

I have a question and can not find the answer on the forum.
I am building the 25 mm/ M8 threaded rod version.
On the Marlin page is see this :
This is for 32nd stepping, 16 Tooth Pulleys and 5/16″ threaded rod.
And this:
This is for 16th stepping, 20 Tooth Pulleys and 8mm 1.25 threaded rod.

In use the 8 mm threaded rod with 16 tooth pulleys.

What version of the marlin can i use ?

I have the 32 steppers driver DRV8825
motor:
Step Angle 1.8°
Step Accuracy 5%
Holding Torque 59Ncm(83.6oz.in)
Rated Current/phase 2.0A
Phase Resistance 1.4ohms
Voltage 2.8V
Inductance 3.0mH±20%(1KHz)
Weight 400g

Arduino Mega and reprap 4.1 shield.

Thank you.

Hay vicious

I am using all the steppers, mega,and ramps 1.4 as you have used. Could you give me the link to Marlin for 8mm with full graphics led?

Thank you for the grate build. I’m half way printed just trying to set up the electronics.

Fresh off the grill for you. At the bottom.

I have tried this one and get this error message. by the way this is my first play with a Arduino board.

all help is much appreciated

There is a file needed. It is linked after the firmware download and in the error code you just pasted. You need to add that file to your arduino library.

10

sorry I’m not getting it. the file I downloaded, do I need to un zip then put into the libraries folder like this? C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\B16_32_8mm-fullG-112515

11

See the section labelled “importing a .zip library” here:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries

12

ok thank you Jeff I will go and have a read

I have now installed U8glib folder. when I open B16_32_8mm-fullG-112515 and “#include <U8glib.h>” I get this see below very confused?!?!?!?!?!!?

not sure if this is a step forward or not. but I’m trying

Nope, that seems to be moving in the wrong direction. “Configuration.h: No such file or directory” means that you either deleted Configuration.h (it was in the firmware download) or you maybe moved the .ino file somewhere that it can’t find the rest of the files.

16

You can ignore those warnings. Those won’t hurt you (in this case, sometimes warning are really problems).

The real problem is it still can’t find u8g.h

Then after that, it says it found two copies of the library, and used the first one. I’m guessing that you were trying to install it manually, and didn’t do it right, and that’s covering up the version that was installed from the .zip file.

Try renaming the folder: “C:\Users\chris\Documents\Arduino\libraries\U8glib” to “C:\Users\chris\Documents\Arduino\libraries\not_U8glib”.

And back out whatever you did to make it miss the Configuration.h

I think I’m getting there
1st I opened B16_32_8mm-LCD-112515 and #include <U8glib.h>
I then clicked verify all ok. I then uploaded it, fast flashing light on ramps. once finished un plugged the board, powered it up nothing.
2nd I opened Marlin and #include <U8glib.h>
I then clicked verify all ok. I then uploaded it, fast flashing light on ramps. once finished un plugged the board, powered it up nothing.

what do you think I’m doing wrong now???

18

I had to delete all files "B16_32_8mm-LCD-112515 " and “U8glib.h”
I have just tried to open B16_32_8mm-LCD-112515 #include <U8glib.h> and add file Marlin.
no errors but still nothing on the screen on the ramps board.
once you verify the file I am clicking on the upload button waiting for the fast light to stop and upload complete on the pc.
I am then unplugging the usb cable and putting a power lead into the Arduino the screen back light comes on but that is it.

You should choose file -> open… and choose the B16_32_8mm-LCD-112515.ino file.

That should open a bunch of files. Don’t open any more (do not open u8glib.h, arduino should find it for you).

Click Verify, and make sure there are no errors (you can ignore warnings, but errors mean it didn’t finish compiling). It should say “Done Compiling.” in the blue bar above the console output and below the text editor.

Then you can click upload, and at the end it should say “Done Uploading”.

20

still nothing. the led blinks fast. upload complete, power down power up still blank screen.
iv even tried auto format and re-upload. still nothing.
Q, when you upload dose it overwrite what’s on the Arduino or add to it?
thank you for all the help Jeff
