Rambo not flashing/ error message

ctref · September 16, 2019, 9:01pm

Hello,

I am very new to the MPCNC community, so I don’t know much, but I have run into a problem. Whenever I try to use my board in Repetier, it gives me a kill() error caused by the kill button. I have tried to flash the board (I got the Rambo 1.4 kit), following the instruction in this discussion: https://www.v1engineering.com/forum/topic/kill-caused-by-kill-button-pin/ but I am getting this error message on the Arduino software (note that I have followed the instructions step-by-step):

I have tried everything, downloading different Arduino versions, and even tried on an apple machine (currently on windows 10). What can I do from here?

vicious1 · September 17, 2019, 2:59pm

Your flashing issues are do to missing the ug8lib, there are step by step instructions on the firmware page showing how to get that involved, make sure you are using the full arduino not the windows app version.

ctref · September 22, 2019, 1:01pm

I got the flashing all done, and I even commented out the “#define KILL_PIN 80” but I’m still getting that killed error. Is there anything I can do, or shall I buy a new LCD?

jamiek · September 22, 2019, 3:59pm

Do you get the error when the lcd is unplugged? If so then a new lcd wont help. Also, are you sure you’re disabling the kill pin in the right place? It’s the only way that kill message can be generated so you might not have modified the right location.

ctref · September 22, 2019, 5:11pm

I tried running it without the lcd, and got the same error. I went under Marlin\src\pins\pins_RAMBO.h, and commented out line 167, and still got the same error message. Is there another place to comment out?

jamiek · September 22, 2019, 6:24pm

Hmm, that sounds right but I am at a loss for what else to try. In any case the board shouldn’t be creating that error in the first place. Disabling the pin is just a workaround.

Can you post a picture of your rambo board in case there is something else unusual?

ctref · September 22, 2019, 6:43pm

Here is my board:

You can’t see the screen, but it has the “killed” error message on it

ctref · September 22, 2019, 6:46pm

I know I have the LCD cable turned around in the photo, because I was testing it. (I flipped it back)

jamiek · September 22, 2019, 7:06pm

I’m sorry, I’m afraid I am out of ideas. I’m really not seeing how disabling the pin doesn’t disable the kill function. You could re-download the firmware from https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/tree/MPCNC_Rambo_T8_16T_LCD and try again, first without the fix and again with the fix. If the results are no different then I am stumped.

ctref · September 22, 2019, 7:24pm

I have reflashed it multiple times to no avail, so I guess I just have to wait this one out. Ill keep testing and update on my progress

If anyone has any ideas at all, I would love to know them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

vicious1 · September 23, 2019, 9:27am

Depending on if you bought it from me, and on how long you have had it we can swap it out.

ctref · September 23, 2019, 12:27pm

I received the kit on July 10 from your website

I live in the Bay Area, maybe I could swing by and drop off the board? (If a replacement is available)

vicious1 · September 23, 2019, 2:54pm

Whatever works for you. I am in Tracy. If you come out here I can flash and test, and swap on the spot if it does not work.

ctref · September 23, 2019, 3:04pm

Sounds good! Would this weekend work for you?

Thanks everyone for all of your help!

ctref · September 24, 2019, 4:17pm

RESOLVED!

Hey all,

I decided to try and re flash one last time on my mac book pro (from a windows machine) and it ACTUALLY WORKED! There are 3 libraries that pop ut when you type in U8glib. I used the one by Oliver, called U8glib (version 1.19,1), and not the U8g2 or LCDMenuLib. IT ended up flashing fine with no error message.

Thank you guys for all your help. I’m sure ill have many more questions, but for now, I’m going to celebrate my success

cerebraldad · October 2, 2019, 6:29am

what did you do to get the firmware to flash im running into the same issue

ctref · October 3, 2019, 6:37am

There are 3 libraries that pop ut when you type in U8glib. Make sure to use the one by Oliver, called U8glib (version 1.19,1), and not the U8g2 or LCDMenuLib.
