Software solution etc.
Re: Software solution etc.
Hi Romaker
Things got worse! Yesterday Repetier Host worked okay, I could send G-commands and Home and Move anything. Even my name engraving program worked fine. Today I can Home and Move X- and Y-axes, but not Z and it seem that Repetier sends some strange commands to the Z-steppermotor. First I could make it move but in the opposit direction of the command. Now the motor gives strange noises and dont move. I am sometimes able to move Z with the Nunchuck (and here it moves smoth) but the direction of the move is unpredictable - if I push Nunchuck button up it might go up or it might go down! The TFT has also gone worse - no buttons move anything. I havend dared running a program
I have moved the machine to another place in my workshop, but I cannot find any lose connections. I should mention, that I use DM542A controllers.
I have reinstalled Repetier on the Arduino - did not help.
Regards from Dregild

Re: Software solution etc.
Try with this firmware (nunchuk function disabled) https://www.makerfr.com/wp-content/uplo ... unchuk.zip
and try to move axis with TFT and Repetier
In a first time the movements must work with Repetier host and TFT, after we will see to enable again the nunchuk function.

Re: Software solution etc.
Installed firmware without Nunchuck support. Tightend all connections and Repetier now works OK! No reaction from TFT - no Movement, no Homing. Could it be a nonfunctional TFT?

Re: Software solution etc.
yes i think that your TFT got maybe an issue.
upload again original firmware and try to move axis with nunchuk, but with TFT disconnected and tell me what appens.

Re: Software solution etc.
Reloaded firmware, disconnected TFT - no difference. When C-button pushed I get move in X+ direction. I can compensate for that with the joystick, so for the moment I can use the CNC with Repetier Host without the TFT. A new TFT is on its way, but it seems it has disapeared somewere in the Royal Danish Post, so it might take a while before I can try another TFT. But the hardware is working well and I am very satisfied with the machine
Re: Software solution etc.
Romain, can you post the last up-to-date firmware that includes the nunchuk improvements?
I guess it could help here as Dregild seems to have a non-centered joystick, if I understood correctly.

Re: Software solution etc.
Yes of course ! here is the Firmware with the modified nunchuk function -> https://www.makerfr.com/wp-content/uplo ... _V0.95.zip
Try again the nunchuk with this version (in test)

Re: Software solution etc.
Thank You - that solved the problem with the nunchuck
Re: Software solution etc.
Thanks for the feedback.
Re: Software solution etc.
So now I got a new TFT
Loaded it with FirmTFT_RS-CNC_V0.6 and startet up. At first it seemed to work - I could Home all and I could move all axes but as I vent on using it, the same thing happened with this TFT: when I pres X+ it sometimes moves Y+. It is not as often as with the first TFT, but it would be hazarduous to use it, as it sometimes move Z- when I push the Y-
I don't think that two TFT's have problems, so there must be another explanation.
As I can control RS-CNC with Repetier I dont think it is neither the Arduino nor the CNCShield hardware. I have tried both cables between the TFT and CNCShield without any change.
Calibration of TFT/communication with TFT??
Would be glad for a solution
