Has anyone been successful in implementing the Command Line Interface (USB) using Smart Stepper firmware and the original Mecharduino Board?
I've tried but could not get the prompt using Teraterm.
I've uncommented the appropriate lines in board.h (I think) and I installed Misfit's nano_zero driver.
I've also tried it with motor power on and off.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Yes, I did.
Use the latest firmware, previously I had to manually add a process_command into the section where non calibration were detected.
Also try using the board.h file you can find in the issues section on github. It is regarding the BigtreeTech Servo42 board, but contains a very clear board selection section, which makes it very easy to select the right board.

Regards,
Jeno

Hi Jeno, thanks for the reply,
I finally have time to try the mecharduino+smartstepper firmware again.
I tried just using the current firmware and then I replaced the board.h file with the one in the "issues" section.
The BTT board.h would not compile  (error: AltSoftSerial no type)
The current firmware would compile but the serial port doesn't work.
Oh well, thanks again.

Hi,
Just for curiosity, have you also enabled the CMD_SERIAL_PORT ? Like this:

//Define this to allow command out serial port, else hardware serial is debug log
#define CMD_SERIAL_PORT

#define SERIAL_BAUD (250000) //baud rate for the serial ports

Regards,
Jeno

I am one of the code contributors / maintainers for the MisfitTech board. I will gladly add the code in the board.h file if you get it working as I don't have a BTT board.

Thanks.
