Invalid I/O settings
-
I can get through everything but I/O pages. I’m profiling an Ender/Creality 3 printer called an XVico Pioneer. If you have made it through the I/O pages with a similar printer, could you please share your entries?
Thank you. Mark
-
What part exactly is it stuck on?
Have you seen this? https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/e3p_Mini5+_guide_part2_configuration
-
@phaedrux I’m going to be spending a lot of time reading that doc. Thank you.
What I know is, there’s an XVico git site with config files, so, I’m going to get those and read through them to try to get the info I need.

Maybe. It likely won't be as difficult as that. You've probably got basic endstops, a probe, thermistor, motors. You might be able to find the details, but there's only so many options really.
-
@phaedrux There's no probe on the xvico. There is a Z-Level socket on the broad I could plug something into, but I have no idea what, or if I'd have to plug other related wires in somewhere else. Actually, there are no other pins or sockets to plug into. I wonder what that means?
-
@phaedrux So, I did it. Although I'm concerned because I used a lot of the information that was shown in the pictures.
Maybe creating a vanilla flavored config is the way to go?
I have a config.zip file on my macbook's desktop now. I don't exactly understand what this means: "Extract the zip file that you got from the Configuration Tool and move the /menu /sys /www folders onto the SD card, replacing any files that already exist."
Usually, when I download stl files, for example, their auto-extract. But the config file didn't?
On the rest of that sentence (see above), I take it I'll have those files in a folder after I extract the zip file? And then I'll use DWC to upload them to "somewhere?" (I'm assuming I'll be looking at all the files that are on the board now, and there will be new menu, sys, www folders to replace what's already on the board?

@phaedrux Yes, I got all the way to the last paragraph before Commissioning.

Not a bad place to start. The best part about rep rap firmware is that you can edit the config file in plain text at any time to reconfigure it.

In your case I think you're already up to date, so you don't really need to concern yourself with that.
You can take that config.zip file and upload it directly to the system tab in the web interface.
-
@phaedrux that’s exciting, reprap is more fun that Marlin was. I’ll do that tomorrow, and see what happens!
-
If you continue on that guide series into commissioning it will help you test your motors and switches to see what works or doesn't.
-
@phaedrux that’s good to know. Does it make sense to hold off on uploading the zip file until I have that motor info? I don’t remember that info being needed while I was filling out the config form? I did have the info from the Ender 3 profile however.
-
You'll be able to sus out some of that info during testing.
The direction of rotation, will be obvious when you do a movement test.
The motor current can be found by starting with a very low value and increasing until you get actual movement. The values from the Ender 3 would be safe and likely close to what's needed.
The steps per mm can be determined by measuring the movement and comparing it to what was commanded.
Endstops can be tested to see if they are triggered or not.
Does the heater work? Is the displayed temperature sane?
-
@phaedrux I'm going to put your input on my To Do list.
An inquiring mind leads to the doors of paradise. Letting go of the world's shackles allows us to enter.
