smarteffector v2 sensitivity not stored

[apak]

@dc42 I live in spain. The reason to change sensibility it´s because It triggers with any slight touch or movement so it does not trigger as it should. It´s my only smarteffector that ever has this behaviour, but I just got it from a old abandon printer that I am rebuilding.

It also triggers with a fan turn on.

In this case I have two diferent smarteffector, one with volcano and this one with a V6, and this is the only one with problems.

The predator and a v2 also with volcano and no troubles .

Already have low Z acc wih M201.1

M201.1 X500 Y500 Z500 E500 ; Set accelerations for special moves (mm/s^2)

Also I am going to buy this and try to update fw on board

@dc42 can you confirm me, what version of fw from https://github.com/Duet3D/SmartEffectorFirmware/releases should I flash to this board.

thanks in advance

[dc42]

@apak use 2.13. Choose the binary for the version2 hardware.

@apak and what app and board should I configure asuming I have a arduino UNO

also have this little fellow

[dc42]

@apak there are several videos about this, search for "Arduino as isp". For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtC6crf_EP4 (this is not a recommendation, I haven't watched all of it).

@dc42
I didn´t wait for the popo pins to arrive, so I soldered some pins and used a Arduino UNO as Arduino ISP Programer, with avrdudes and upload he .hex file you mentioned.

At detect (before uploading) it had a checksum mismatch, but I forced the upload and had that log below.

Is it there and way to know what version of fw it uploaded on a smarteffecto?

How could I know it was flashed ok? Maybe with a new M command such as M672 S99:99 that was included in fw 2.13?

I was only able this morning to plug the 8 pin plug and the smarteffector flashed 2 times, but couldnt test any more, had to leave to work

@apak Update, It did not flash ok. I set a sensitibity other that stock, power cicle and only 2 led flashing

[apak]

Succesfully updated to 2.13 and solder pad restored

thanks

@apak Well done! What did you change to get it to flash? And does it now store the sensitivity?

@droftarts i didn’t use the arduino uno.
Now once changed sensitibity, if power cicle led blinks 3 times

Will upload tomorrow destiled instructions

@droftarts

Recap: Old smarteffector v2 that does not remember sensitivity custom settings.

Solution: Flash new firmware V2.13 via PROG pin pads on top board side.

Procedure: Solver pin strip to exposed pads and use a direct pin to pin cable from the ISP port on programer

Programed with a FT232r programer with AVRDUDES app
