repetier gcode for auto leveling
January 03, 2016 12:19PM
Hi guys,


I installed a inductive sensor on my prusa i3 and megatronics v3.
The probe is working fine, the command g29/g32 is working fine.

But i cant find much info about what gcode commands should be used when starting a print.

I tried

G28 ; y0 x0 z0
G29 ( also tried g32)

The printer homes and probes, but the z axis goes really high before each probe.
When the printing starts it prints really high above the printbed and the z rods are not turning while printing.

Can anyone give me some info or a link?

Thanks

What is the current setting on the Z axis Polulu? Sounds like it is set too low.

Thanks for the reply,

I am not sure what you mean with current setting on the polulu, do you mean the voltage?
I managed to fix the gcode issue (so the issues in my first post are resolved)
However when the print starts the nozzle is a few mm to high from the bed, i cant find the setting to change this .

I have to mention that before installing this auto leveling, my prints also started higher than i placed my z endstop ( i had to pretty much crash my nozzle in the bed when homing so it would be at the good hight when the printed started)

Thanks for the help

ps: i tried to remove the other thread, but i dont think it's possible.

I am thinking the problem might be that i am using the probe on z min :/

I have had to max my polulu settings on my drivers. If you google Polulu current adjustment the reprap link will show.
I have a Replikeo Prusa i3, sainsmart controller.

Can you explain why you think the current of the drivers has anything to do with this?
I really dont see what u mean.

I found that when I turned up my drivers the chattering and skipped motion of my x axis went away. The z axis duals weren't keeping in synch. That went away also.

Thanks for replying to my posts Giantkiller,

I changed to marlin firmware, and it fixed the issue.
Auto leveling is working perfect now.
my prints seem smoother to winking smiley

Cheers

Cool. What software were you using before Marlin?
