Do you think you could show us how to set up two stepper motors with a single nozzle I’ve been trying for three weeks and I can’t figure out the firmware or the slicing software😥PLEASE

Dear Edward,will u suggest your video for 3D printer DIY-arduino mega- ramos 1.4 - marlin1.1.8 - nema 23 - drv 8825 set up

thanks for ur prompt reply.

Hi You're doing a really great job. I have been following Ramps videos for a while and honestly found that your explanation is the best so far. I consider building a CNC machine and putting a laser module on it. I found several videos explaining the connection of the laser module on the Ramps via D9 which gives 12V. But I did not find any detailed video explaining how to connect a laser module working on TTL 5V to a Ramps. Of course, I want to go with laser module with TTL 5V , because I found a cheap Chinese product on Ali Express, which was satisfied with many. Can you make a video on this topic please ? Thanks

Hello Edward, how do you calculate the right setting for the stepper driver with a NEMA 17 stepper motor, or can you tell me how much mV must be set on the driver so that it works properly on a RAMPS 1.4 board without the stepper motors getting too hot ???? Thanks for your help and support in advance. Best regards Christian

Dear sir, DRV8825 become very hot eventhough I used Nema 17 stepper. I have given very small amount of current. I do not know why? Is it for marlin firmware?

@EdwardBraiman

6 жыл бұрын

It maybe related to the drv8825 tuning. There's a small potentiometer located on the drv8825, this controls current flow like a water valve. It may need to be tuned. I've not yet made a video on how to tune with test equipment as I'm still in the process of getting the test tools the demostrate, but there are several videos that exist on KZread that may help. I'll try and find a link on KZread in a couple of hours. The Marlin firmware is not the issue.

Step counts have to do with number of increment subdivisions you can achieve with the stepper motor. Tuning of the stepper driver board does decrease sound. The higher the stepper driver board does makes it possible to be quieter.

Sounds like you shorted out the USB on your computer. Check to see if the stepper driver board is connected correctly. The en (enable) pin on the stepper driver board matches the enable pin port on the RAMPS 1.4. remember to remove all power from RAMPS 1.4 board before checking. Also could you shoot a video and post what's connected to the board so I can get a better idea of what you have connected. I need to see the connections for the stepper driver board and the Endstop to have a better idea of what you have connected.

Does the LED light when they're side by side connected? Maybe you can ask an adult nearby to assist you. The outer two wires should light the LED when you turn the motor manually. If not then wires maybe out of order. Check the datasheet for the motor for the wire order. Should be something like black, green, blue red. Unless the motor is pre-wired when it arrived.
