The issue I had has been resolved. I also uploaded precompiled firmware for everyone to enjoy :slight_smile: See post here

 

 

—Original Post—

Hello all!

SKR 1.3

I’m following Teaching Tech’s video on the LowriderV2. In it he has his Y endstops home to the back, where I want mine to home to the front.

I’ve changed #define Y_HOME_DIR 1 to #define Y_HOME_DIR -1 in configuration.h, and it moves the Y axis in the correct direction, but the actual endstops aren’t triggering.

All others work flawlessly, and I’ve confirmed that they are wired correctly. Any ideas of what else should need changed? The only thing I can think of is that in the advanced config #define Y2_USE_ENDSTOP YMIN is set instead of #define Y2_USE_ENDSTOP YMAX. Could this be it?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yep.

You can test with M119 to shoe you the state of the endstops.

Can you tell me how you got the firmware to flash that tt edit for the skr 1.3?

I have put just the fm for the 1.3 on the root of the microcard and booted on with no luck. I even tried a second card. I was able to do the firmware on the lcd screen with no issues. Not sure if it certain jumpers needs to be in place. I’m using 5160 with this.

Or am I to use pronterface to upload the file.

Thanks

I think you have to compile it first with platform.io

Well it got the best of me. Spent the whole day on this and got no where…

I tried to compile with Atom and then VSCode.

I’ve watch so many videos of what to add to be able to compile.

It’s rough on a two meg connection for internet.

I get 1 failed and 0 succeeded.

LPC1768 Failed

Everything else ignored as should be.

Platformio.ini left as TT had it…

[platformio]
src_dir = Marlin
build_dir = .pioenvs
lib_dir = .piolib
libdeps_dir = .piolibdeps
boards_dir = buildroot/share/PlatformIO/boards

and further down…

I’m sure there something simple I’m over looking…

Anyone have know what my issue is?

Thanks…

Is there other details around the message that it failed?

If it helps, remember that this isn’t like trying to understand nature or even psychology. This system was designed for humans to use, by humans. It’s far from perfect, but it is doable.

I had the same issue. For some reason the upload_extra_script.py is different than what’s on the official, so replacing it fixed the problem for me.

To save you (and anyone else who finds this thread) the problems of compiling it themselves, just see attached :slight_smile:

There’s two versions. One is the default with the Y axis to the back (how TT has it) and the second is with it to the front.

Just unzip the file, choose the one you want, throw it onto the Micro SD card in the SKR and you should be good to go :slight_smile:

Thanks for the files. I just went and compared both files then replace the file as well. It compiles!!!

Thanks… thanks…

Ok I put my microsd back in and I power the board on and after about 15 seconds. I get message on the lcd: Error Printer halted. kill () called!

I have nothing hooked to the board as of yet.

Only jumpers I got set is the four under each driver like tt shows and the two red near the x endstop connectors. (left +5v jumper in place)

I’m using 5160 drivers and without any mods to them. I’ve seen to much where you do and you don’t do anything to them.

I unplug hook up x only and go into move x and nothing.

Thanks…

You need to enable the fake thermistor and add a value of 170 for it, or extruders=0.

11

Ryan this is what I got and same issue. I did not try to undefine the extruders. If I put Extruders 0 then it won’t compile.

// This defines the number of extruders
// :[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
#define EXTRUDERS 1

// Dummy thermistor constant temperature readings, for use with 998 and 999
#define DUMMY_THERMISTOR_998_VALUE 170
#define DUMMY_THERMISTOR_999_VALUE 170

12

If you can’t set 0 it is an older version of Marlin. To set the dummy it is two line, one to specify 999 and the one you show to set the value. Look a few lines up for thermistor defines (probably says 11 right now) change it to 999

13

This is what already set:

Use these for Testing or Development purposes. NEVER for production machine.

  • 998 : Dummy Table that ALWAYS reads 25°C or the temperature defined below.
  • 999 : Dummy Table that ALWAYS reads 100°C or the temperature defined below.

Would soldering clk to gnd solve this?

15

You can wire a resistor in the T0 port. But the software solution should work.

Here is a link to exactly how Ryan does it:

16

Other then I put my 998 value to 170 to test… all other vaules look same as I posted above… I could be over looking something… it does show I have: #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 999 and #define DUMMY_THERMISTOR_999_VALUE 170

Could I have another problem? Does the lcd need a different power source? LCD powers on when connected to the skr 1.3

17

I guess we just assumed it was a temperature problem but other things can cause a halt.

Commecting with repetier host might let you see more detail over the serial port.

You can also try without the lcd.

18

Do you have all the motors plugged in? That caused the issue for me. Once everything was plugged in it worked correctly.

You don’t need a thermistor with the SKR 1.3 build from TT

19

I don’t have everything plugged in. I only tried with X. The temp outside drop from 72 yesterday to 18 so it might be a bit before I try. Thanks everyone. I will report back either way after I try all hook up.

20

Ok I made it back outside.

Still same error. I hook everything up but the endstops.

Do the endstops have to be hooked up to not get the error?

So we are sure I don’t need a resistor or clk to gnd or any other mod?

I’m having to leave to watch my kids basketball game so no time to wire up endstops right now.

 

thanks everyone…
