Arduino Mega problem.

[Buddhafragt]

Hello all,

I try to get rstep running on a Arduino Mega, but have no sucess..
Here is my config:

//my config
#define ENABLE 13 //low enabled
#define MS1 0
#define MS2 0
#define RST 0
#define SLP 0
#define STEP_X 12
#define STEP_Y 10
#define STEP_Z 8
#define DIR_X 11
#define DIR_Y 9
#define DIR_Z 7
#define MOTOR_PIN 0


#define SCK 0
#define MOSI 0
#define MISO 0
#define SS 0
#define MSP4351_CS 0


/* specify the port and pin numbers - you need to look this up
** on the schematic for the particular arduino */
#define _STEP_PORT PORTB
#define _STEP_DDR DDRB // DDB = IO Resister Atmega
#define _STEP_X (1<<6) // definition Port B6
#define _STEP_Y (1<<4) // definition Port B4
#define _STEP_Z (1<<2) // definition Port B2


// specify min-max sense pins or 0 if not used
// active low is prefered as it will cause the AVR to use it's
internal pullups to
// avoid bounce on the line. If you want active_high, then you must
add external pulldowns
// to avoid false signals.
#define MINMAX_X 0
#define MINMAX_Y 0
#define MINMAX_Z 0
#define ESTOP 0

Is something wrong here?

i think it is this
#define MS1 4
#define MS2 2
#define RST 3
#define SLP 3
insted of this

#define MS1 0
#define MS2 0
#define RST 0
#define SLP 0

Thank you,

but still not working...
I can hear only a buzz at one stepper motor, if I test the output with
a scope, I see only uneven peaks!
What is it??

What controller are you using?  I think you might have your stepper motor hooked up incorrectly if it's buzzing. -r

Thge steppers hooked up correctly, with a other software it works....
so the hardware is OK!

Just because another software runs correctly, does not mean that the motor
is corrected properly!

You appear to have forgotten that a different software may use different
port pins for different jobs.......

You just need to change the pin setup to reflect the way the motors are
connected, this is usually done in the software, but may need to be done in
hardware........

Using the infos from the software that is running correctly will surely get
you on the right road!

By controller, I mean what hardware is the arduino connected to?  And what software works correctly?  Can you provide me with more information about the other software that works correctly and the configuration you are using?

Dear,

before I run the "CNC Mill G-Code Interpreter With XY, XZ, & YZ Arcs"
http://forums.reprap.org/file.php?156,file=3396,filename=reprap_new_firmware_arc.zip,download=1
So I know, the stepper motors and drivers connected correctly.
(of shure, I dont know if the pins configured correctly, this was the
reason, I asked for help).
I use the Pololu drivers A4983, connected to:
STEP_X 12
STEP_Y 10
STEP_Z 8
DIR_X 11
DIR_Y 9
DIR_Z 7
Maybe there are some other setups except the part I send above?

What is your configuration? Can you send me the output of the command M201.

MSG MFR(160,160,208)

[Reza Naima]

that all looks corrupted to me.  Some of those values are not possible.  i would try reconfiguring it.

http://reza.net/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_Instructions

This is the output of mine

MSG SBI(4064,4064,4064)
MSG MFR(15,15,13)
MSG Cur(1.50,1.50,1.50)
MSG Step(16)
MSG Abs(1)
OK


Your main problem is probably the maximum feedrate.  It's defined as inches per minute.   You have it set to travel 3+ inches per second! That's why you are getting the buzzing.  Also the ABS should be 1 or 0.  Step can be 1,2,4,16.  And Cur is a max of 2.0.  I'm not sure how your configuration passed the checksum test.

Hi Reza,

jupp... now it works! ;-)

One more question: The stepper motor speed is different depends if 1,2
or 3 axis mooving (1 fast, 3 slowest speed).
Is it normal?

One more question,
I see G2 and G3 is not supported (commented out in code), but in the
Commands Supported list G2 and G3 is on the list.....

[Reza Naima]

Use the 644 version of the code. The sections were commented out due to not enough space on the 168

-Reza

[Reza Naima]

The speed is determined by your feedrate (either the one you specify or based on the max feedrate per axis).  If two motors are moving, then they need to move slower to maintain the same feedrate.
