Formbot Troodon RRF 3.1.1 Update
-
From what I can tell, the stock firmware for the Troodon isn't even available for download anywhere. The firmware for their other machines is provided via zip files hosted on a variety of file hosts (some on drop box, some on google drive, etc).
Also, Vivedino/Formbot appears to be a very small company. It looks like their entire lineup aside from the Troodon uses the same marlin motherboard.
All of this combined makes me think that perhaps a 3rd party designs boards for them. If that's the case then they may not even have someone who could provide help with firmware.
-
@Phaedrux no they only provide the firmware which the machine is shipped with. So 2.03RC3. I asked them if they already have a config for 3.0. They told me that if I wan't to upgrade I have to write my own. So that's what I did but unfortunately had the fault issue on 3.1.1.

@Guzzi Hi. Could you please share you configuration files for the 3.0?

Hello,
i have exactly the sam problem with RRF 3.1.1 and RFF 3.2 beta1 and RFF 3.2 beta 2.
Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0 1
Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0 1Only RRF 3.0 works wihtout error
Is there a solution to this problem now?
-
You can put me in the same basket whit the same problem.
Found this tread after 7 hours. Tried to go from 2,0 to 3,0 and whitout testing 3.0 to 3.11 hate myself for that
-
Hi - I have the same issue on 3.1.1 and came to confirm if the message is in fact drv 01 for y axis. I changed out the wires, soldered the clips and was about to change out a nice Vexta motor. Guess I should wait if others are having the same issue.
In the meantime, please confirm if the this is related to y Axis or not. I am on a Duet WiFI.
Cheers -

For the time being stay on 3.0.

This post is deleted! -
Add me as well in the group of people have the issue with 3.1.1 and 3.2b1/b2 on the Troodon.
Only 3.0 seems to work, unfortunately this version doesn't support the Meta gcode.I don't mind trying any alpha or beta if that might help
-
@EricN i think you have to directly talk to formbot. Normally new betas are only released for duet Boards. I know that the formbot is based on a duet but not completly the same.
And i do not know If they reached out to @T3P3Tony to solve the 3.1.1 or 3.2 Problem

@dc42 no they don't. Could it be diff then expected sense resistors or more likely the added meta gcode is polling driver and picking up on the diff hardware ?

@dc42
My motors spin. I am on Duet2 WifiAlmost always throws the same error during home with G28 .
Printing has been mostly successful even with error thrown, but occasional print fails right after fault. Today I lost two prints after this error and a third 200 layer print had no issue (with a few of these errors).
The cable has been changed (shielded), connector crimps have been soldered and now debating a motor change until I saw these posts. Im waiting to change motor based on outcome of this thread.

@tommyb This thread is for people having problems with the Formbot Troodon custom RRF compatible board. Please start a new thread for your issue with the Duet Wifi.
-
@dc42 is their anything I should do to try and get you more info ? I honestly am just gonna change to a genuine duet 2 or 3 but am trying to find out if duet 3 will offer any benefit. Are their plans for any features that the 3 can support cause of increased cpu and sbc like input shaping etc that the duet 2 won't be able to do ?
-
@Robthide37 I would wait for the duet 3 mini to come out. Perfectly suited for Voron style printers with the 2 stepper extension, giving you exactly the 7 drivers needed for QGL, X, Y, and Extruder.
-
@pixelpieper it def seems perfect it is more in line with duet 2 imo right ?
-
Sorry for getting off-topic.
I consider the Formbot Troodon to be my next 3D printer. I actually have some experience with the Snapmaker 2.0. I'm looking for a machine wit x/y core, large build volume, enclosure,..
But I'm mainly looking for a machine, that is working without much tinkering.Is the Troodon that machine?
I meanwhile found out, that there is no support concerning firmware from the company. I'm not afraid of doing some guided software updates, but that's it. -
