Hi guys. Newb here . so i am working with my mpcnc and trying to get the the software to communicate with my rambo ultimachine board. At first i was getting an error message from the estlcam software ( -Estlcam integrated CNC controller has not yet been configured… )
( -The controller requires an Arduino UNO R3 or compatiable motion controller-for more info check CNC controller setup
at some point when trying to figure this out ( i have no idea what i did ) it seems like my rambo board has lost its preistalled marlin firmware and my full graphic smart controller is now just a blank screen…
I have updated my arduino ide and have been following the step by step instructions on the firmware page but when i get to the point where i need to open the firmware folder and select the current .ino file and upload it to my rambo i get this error message from the arduino ide
Arduino: 1.8.4 (Windows 10), Board: “RAMBo”
C:\Users\Vendetta Tactical\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp1_MPCNC813FullRAmbo_GLCD_T8 (2).zip\MPCNC813FullRAmbo_GLCD_T8\MPCNC813FullRAmbo_GLCD_T8.ino:31:26: fatal error: MarlinConfig.h: No such file or directory
#include “MarlinConfig.h”
^
compilation terminated.
exit status 1
Error compiling for board RAMBo.
This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
so at this point i am stuck and dont know how to proceed. any help would be greatly appreciated…
thank you very much! my rambo and control screen are back normal… very much appreciated.
i seem to remember having an issue similar to this on another project, i guess i was following the instructions word for word to well as it just says to open the folder and select file while forgetting i have to extract the zip files… “learning everyday”
so back to my original issue of the estlcam software not communicating with the rambo as it says
( -Estlcam integrated CNC controller has not yet been configured… )
( -The controller requires an Arduino UNO R3 or compatiable motion controller-for more info check CNC controller setup )
what do i need to do to overcome this? sorry if these seem like easy errors to deal with and perhaps discussed before. i am just real new to alot of this and still learning the ins and outs and the language…
thanks a ton again for your help… this project even with my setback and lack of arduino knowledge has been extremely enjoyable…
ok so i got the crown file and have it loaded in repetier host… two issues now one it does not show me the crown (travel moves are selected) and when i start print it wont do anything. it gives me an eta for the print but it never starts almost like its waiting for print bed and extruder to heat up but obviously since its a sharpie marker thats not going to happen… do i need to change some setting in repetier host? i also cant control it manually in repetier
SUCCESS!!! comm port was in auto detect. when i would click connect the rambo boards led would do flash and the controller screen would respond and repetier host would say it was connected so i think that was confusing me… i switched it to my comm port 4 and it worked…
so excited !!! i really appreciate your time spent developing all this and sharing it to the world… and thank you so much for your time guiding me through my errors… i am literally smiling from ear to ear… coolest thing i have ever built… i still have a learning curve ahead of me and some fine tuning to do but i could not be happier at this given moment… thank you so much Ryan! you just made me the coolest dad in my sons eyes tonight… i cant wait to see where this journey leads me next…
thank you again for all you do to make this possible for people like me!!!
thats what we did … it was so cool watching it draw it out… i cant stop playing with it now, probably going to be up all night now lol… house chores are for sure not getting done this week haha.
