Which firmware for old ramp 1.4 from old RepRap 3D priner

[CVG (Chris Van Gerden)]

Hi Everyone

Question 1:

Which firmware for RAMP 1.4
I’m confused what firmware I should be using, My MPCNC is based on a Ramps 1.4 board.
I replace from CNC shield and Arduino Uno to RAMP 1.4 and Mega 2560 for test,

Which I choose firmware version?

• https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/tree/MPCNC_Ramps_T8_16T_LCD_32step

• https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/tree/MPCNC_Ramps_T8_16T_LCD_32step_DualEndstop

• https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/tree/V1CNC_Ramps_Dual

• https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/tree/ZenXY_Ramps_16T_LCD_32

This link show me choose version and there are many different version I don’t know which version for ramp 1.4,

Allted/Marlin

Question 2:

Can I work with MPCNC RAMP 1.4 and Computer only without LCD?

Because I have old RepRap LCD 2004 that unsupported by U8glib library

[jeffeb3]

1. This one : https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/tree/V1CNC_Ramps_Dual

2. Yes. See the software workflow for some choices.

The 2004 can work, but you need some changes to the configuration.h file.

[CVG (Chris Van Gerden)]

How can I change to let 2004 work fine in configuration?

[jeffeb3]

You need to disable this one:

https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/blob/V1CNC_Ramps_Dual/Marlin/Configuration.h#L1910

And enable the screen you have.

Marlin & Ramps 1.4

OK Guy’s here’s the story. The error is as always between the keyboard and the wall. If you are using a LCD screen which is character based, you must switch on // // RepRapDiscount Smart Controller. // http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapDiscount_Smart_Controller // // Note: Usually sold with a white PCB. // #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER In addition, you have to switch off // RepRapDiscount FULL GRAPHIC Smart Controller // http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapDiscount_Full_Graphic_Sm…

exit status 1

Error compiling for board Arduino Mega or Mega 2560.

This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

[jeffeb3]

You also need to disable the custom bootscreen. Sorry, I forgot about that.

[CVG (Chris Van Gerden)]

Disable bootscreen in Configration.h?

[jeffeb3]

Yeah. The custom bootscreen.

[CVG (Chris Van Gerden)]

What is line number?

[jeffeb3]

92…

[CVG (Chris Van Gerden)]

Thank you very much, LCD is work prefect

When I connect to Ramp 1.4 and use UGS software to control CNC but

Command showed me strange error:

I try command X$ and it said GRBL arent finished booting

[CVG (Chris Van Gerden)]

I try set baud rate to 25000 and it is work fine, ignore the message about problem.

Thank you very much, let me test with switches.

[jeffeb3]

Does UGS work with Marlin? I might have to try that.

[jeffeb3]

Also, the $ commands won’t work with Marlin either.

[CVG (Chris Van Gerden)]

Im using repetier-Host

Why Ardiuno Mega 2560 Voltage regulator is blow up

My power supply is 24V 6.3A go through RAMP 1.4

[jeffeb3]

Search for “ramps 24V” there should be some steps to take to preserve the adruino. I think it can only support 15V.
