Sanguino 1.3a how to connect with computer...

Hi,
I have brought a Sanguino board - assembled. I'm using Linux Mint 13 Chinamon.
I have installed Printrun [www.reprap.org].
But I cant connect to Sanguino. This is output.

Connecting...

Also when I add power to board my stepper motors (42BYGHW811) are moving for 180 degrees in one direction and then back for 180 degrees. (half-turn)

How to wire steppers? I have black,red,green and blue color. So I wired them like this [www.reprap.org]

red-blue 1.8 ohm
red-green inf.
red-black inf.

blue-red 1.8ohm
blue-green inf.
blue-black inf.

green-red inf.
green-blue inf.
green-black 1.8 ohm

black-red inf.
black-blue inf.
black.green 1.8ohm

How to check if firmware is installed in Sanguino? I have downloaded Arduino (sudo apt-get install arduino)
And added Sanguino hardware [sanguino.cc]
downloaded zip and copied "Sanguino" folder to /usr/share/arduino/hardware/ .
When I open Arduino IDE under Tools->Boards-> I have 3 new Sanguino boards.

It looks like it has test firmware installed. You need to configure firmware such as Marlin for your machine and install it on the board using the Arduino IDE.

If the motors are turning they are wired correctly. The only possibility is they might go the wrong way, in which case you can reverse the plug or configure the firmware to reverse them.

Thank you for yours answer.

So which firmware should I use? Are all the same? For Sanguino I can use 3 different firmwares.
Can I upload firmware trough usb? Or I need some additional device?

USBTiny need additional hardware? [www.reprap.org]

Problem is that Linux MINT 13 distribution don't have libusb package.

user@user ~ $ sudo apt-get install libusb

I think you can choose from Marlin, Sprinter, Teacup, Repetier and several more. The all form the same basic function but they are not the same. I only have experience with Marlin.

There should be a bootstrap loader already on the board that allows the firmware to be loaded via USB.

You only need that if you want to replace the bootstrap, which is usually only if you have a blank chip.

Get the latest version of Marlin and follow the readme instructions.

Hi,
I'm working on this [github.com]

I have downloaded Arduino from web site arduino-1.0.1-linux64.tgz and copied contents of it to /usr/share/arduino
And now when I run Arduino IDE I get 1.0.1 version (before 1.0)
I also installed Sanguino under hardware.
Downloaded [github.com] Sprinter.git
But I don't understand task number 5
"5. Edit INSTALL_DIR inside Sprinter/Makefile (do not mind the default reference to arduino 0022)"
what should I edit? In make file there is this line INSTALL_DIR = ../../arduino22/arduino-0022/

I have any way ran make command:
user@user ~/repSnapper/Sprinter/Sprinter/Sprinter $ make
# Here is the "preprocessing".
# It creates a .cpp file based with the same name as the .pde file.
# On top of the new .cpp file comes the WProgram.h header.
# At the end there is a generic main() function attached.
# Then the .cpp file will be compiled. Errors during compile will
# refer to this new, automatically generated, file.
# Not the original .pde file you actually edit...
test -d applet || mkdir applet
echo '#include "WProgram.h"' > applet/Sprinter.cpp
cat Sprinter.pde >> applet/Sprinter.cpp
cat ../../arduino22/arduino-0022//hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/main.cpp >> applet/Sprinter.cpp
cat: ../../arduino22/arduino-0022//hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/main.cpp: No such file or directory
make: *** [applet/Sprinter.cpp] Error 1

After that I opened Ardruino IDE and loaded Sprinter.pde
I have edited Configuration.h file.
I don't know what "play" button is but I have pressed Sketch->Compile button. And I get some errors in this line: void manage_inactivity(byte debug);
Errors:
In file included from store_eeprom.cpp:22:
Sprinter.h:6:23: error: Arduino.h: No such file or directory
In file included from store_eeprom.cpp:22:

Sprinter.h:107: error: ‘byte’ was not declared in this scope

The Sanguino extension isn't compatible with Arduino 1.0/1.0.1. I've written this at least a dozen times now, figure it out yourself.

Which doesn't work!

On [sanguino.cc] page you have link to Linux installation which says use arduino. Also on RepRap wiki is written use Arduino IDE.

So I'm wondering is RepRap project alive or dead? Or it will be dead soon? Because support is equal to none.

So I suggest you that you close Sanguino forum and write with big red letters Sanguino is DEAD!
Also write the same at top of Sanguino wiki page.

Sanguinololu works fine with Arduino 1.0.1 with the fork of Marlin that supports Arduino 1.0. There is a Sanguino folder there that works.

[www.hydraraptor.blogspot.com]

I'm working on Marlin [github.com]
#######
Configuring and compilation:

Install the arduino software IDE/toolset v22 [www.arduino.cc]

For gen6 and sanguinololu the Sanguino directory in the Marlin dir needs to be copied to the arduino environment. copy Marlin\sanguino \hardware\Sanguino

Install Ultimaker's RepG 25 build [software.ultimaker.com] For SD handling and as better substitute (apart from stl manipulation) download the very nice Kliment's printrun/pronterface [github.com]

Copy the Ultimaker Marlin firmware [github.com] (Use the download button)

Start the arduino IDE. Select Tools -> Board -> Arduino Mega 2560 or your microcontroller Select the correct serial port in Tools ->Serial Port Open Marlin.pde

Click the Verify/Compile button

Click the Upload button If all goes well the firmware is uploading

Start Ultimaker's Custom RepG 25 Make sure Show Experimental Profiles is enabled in Preferences Select Sprinter as the Driver

Press the Connect button.

And have problems with Verifying/compiling in Arduino IDE

If in Configuration.h file MOTHERBOARD is 7 I get:

Also the main line of Marlin does not work on Arduino 1.0, only the branch here: [github.com].

My own fork from that which I run on Sanguniololu and Melzi is here: [github.com]

I have commented the line but no difference.
Also I trayed yours fork, but still don't work, ... I get the same errors.

I think that problems are in Arduino IDE so I'm wondering is there any other IDE for arduino/sanguino programing?

Are you saying that if you download my fork from github and open it with Arduino 1.0 or 1.01 it does not compile?

I have seen it compile on Windows XP, Win7 and a Linux machine, not sure what flavour.

[www.hydraraptor.blogspot.com]

I have downloaded Arduino IDE from web page [arduino.googlecode.com]
Linux 64 bit version
I extracted zip in home folder. - Only 64bit works on my PC because I'm using 64bit system.

Downloaded sanguino drivers [sanguino.cc] and change board.txt file ( atmega644.upload.protocol=arduino )

Then I downloaded yours zip extracted in home folder. - in configuration.h file was #define MOTHERBOARD 7 instead 62 so I change it.

Loaded Marlin.ino file in arduino ide, and verify .... but now when I'm writing this to you and going trough steps again, now it seems everything works ...

Binary sketch size: 47,070 bytes (of a 63,488 byte maximum)

(I did one change to yours fork ... in Marlin folder you had Marlin.ino, ultralcd.ino and watchdog.ino files. Last 2 files I have moved to ultralcd and watchdog folder.)

But now I have another problem how to upload firmware?
Tools->Programmer->USBtinyISP ?

Binary sketch size: 47,070 bytes (of a 63,488 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

Which programmer should I use? (I would like to load firmware thought sanguino USB port)

Thank you for yours time nophead.

You don't use a programmer you just press the play button in the IDE and it compiles and downloads the sketch. You have to select the right port and board type first.

[www.hydraraptor.blogspot.com]

I have successfully installed ErikZalm-Marlin-Marlin_RC3-40 firmware on Sanguino.
I had to change some settings in arduino/hardware/Sanguino/boards.txt
atmega644.upload.protocol=arduino
atmega644.upload.speed=38400

After that modification, firmware was successfully installed on Sanguino 1.3a board.
I have tested firmware with Printrun and it looks fine. I can manually move motors. But only in one direction.
So I'm wondering is there something wrong with firmware or software?
(I have to connect on /dev/ttyUSB1 port and sped have to be 250000 or 38400.)

With Repetier-Host software v0.7 I can connect to Sanguino but I can not manually move motors, ...
I also can connect to Sanguino with Repsnapper but I don't know it this program has any manual control options.

Did you use the sanguino folder that came with Marlin?

The reason the motors only move one way is because it thinks the endstops are triggered. Are they connected? They should be normally closed switches which is the outer two pins and they connect to the outer pins on the endstop connectors.

[www.hydraraptor.blogspot.com]

No I didn't use sanguino folder which came with Marlin. What should I do with it? Copied it to Audrino/hardware folder?

I have some problem now. I cant connect to sanguino after I reinstalled Linux. Now I have Mint 13 MATE.
This is probably caused because I didn't use some terminal command which adds usb ports to some grup, or somting like that. I forgot the terminal command, so if any one knows about which command I'm talking about?
If I run printrun (ponterface) with sudo everything works fine.

Problem with motors is because of end stops. If I press end stop sensor motor moves constantly when I release switch motor stops.
(If switch is not pressed, then circuit is connected and if switch is pressed, circuit is not connected.)

Yes. After doing this you should see options for Sanguino in the Tools->Board menu. Choose the one that matches the AVR you have installed after you have loaded the project.

You may have to start a new terminal first.

You probably need to edit Configuration.h and make sure "#define ENDSTOPPULLUPS is uncommented and that the "_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING" for each axis is set to false.

I had to rewire sensors and now everything is working fine - almost.
Home position for X axis in in left side but I have sensor at right side.
Where I can change this in firmware? (I really don't want to change sensor position.)

I also get this error:
Extruder switched off. MAXTEMP triggered !
Errorrinter stopped deu to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart!. (Temperature is reset. Set it before restarting)

I have wired nozzle sensor and heater.
But I haven't wired heating bed and heating bed sensor. (Should I disable them in firmware or I can just disable them in pronterface ? Or I have to wire them?)

You cant just change X or Y on their own like that. If you do you will invert you prints (writing will come out backwards as will parts in general.)

If you wish to leave your X homing to the right then you will need to switch your Y around so it homes towards the front. Either way, one end stop needs moving.

To change direction simply turn you stepper plug over 180 degrees, or invert direction in your firmware.

I have some problems compiling marvin firmware.
This error I get if I use original sanguino drivers from web site Sanguino-0101r1.zip

In file included from SdVolume.cpp:20:0:
Marlin.h:30:26: fatal error: WProgram.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.


If I use drivers in sanguino folder inside marvin I get this error

Binary sketch size: 47000 bytes (of a 63488 byte maximum)
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.

Should I change any settings in boards.txt?

But now I have another problem. If I turn on heater my motors stop moving.
If I disable heater motors are moving fine.
So I should tweak motor drivers, so motors will get more current?
