Ramps, Repsnapper & Sprinter- What next?
October 15, 2011 12:31PM
Hi All,
I've got my Prusa Mendel running ok with the titled software. Had a bit of a stepper motor heating problem. Needed to put a multimeter on the X-axis, Y- axis and Extruder motors and set the current to 0.5 amps each. I'm using Pololu 1200 steppers. At this setting my heating stays around 45-50 degrees C. The extruder and the heated bed are also working fine. Do I need to load skeinforge? if so, which version? If not, I think I'm ready to print. Can someone direct me to some info on what my next steps should be, Please?
Thanks

You might as well load the latest Skeinforge version which I think is 43. Note that there's an easy to use front end to Skeinforge called SFACT that some people like since it sets most parameters up for you. I don't use it myself since I'm already used to Skeinforge and I prefer to fiddle with the settings myself. Also check out Pronterface (part of Kliment's Printrun in Github) instead of Repsnapper.
