latest version MarginallyClever and Marlin
Hello comrades!
I use version 7.17.0 )))
Everything is fine except for the pause button that doesn’t work.
I somehow managed to attach a stepper motor to this version instead of a servo drive.
In version 7.21.0, the pause button works, but I couldn’t attach a stepper motor there instead of a servo drive. )
I’m not a programmer and did everything by trial and error….(
Does the latest version support zarplotter?
What latest version has the ability to use zarplotter + ramps?

[Vladimir]

I apologize for my poor knowledge of English !!
I want to push the writing instrument, and not push the gondola off the canvas.
An active gondola with a servo drive smears the paint, and the servo drive after some (very short) time starts to work intermittently and may not work at all.
So I decided to change the gondola and replace the servodrive with a stepper motor.

Hi Dan, I do not know if that helps – when I start the software, the settings are as they should be.
If I press “connect”, the presets are lost and the program does not know how big the Makelangelo 3.2 is and jumps to the settings Makelangelo 5.
”
I have the same problems …

from 10 hours of drawing – 4 hours of idling

[Vladimir]

I’m preparing files in ngc format with the size of 80 mb and more, so out of 10 hours of drawing 4 hours goes to idle moves…

Often there are cases when in G code there is a command to raise the gondola, for example G1 Z45 (up)
But the servo for some reason does not work and does not raise the gondola.
Maybe it’s a bad servo or static electricity, but the problem is present.
How do I make a check if the servo of the gondola lifted or not?
It would be convenient to install a button (limit switch) near the servo-drive, if the actuator is activated, the contacts of the circuit-breaker are closed, all OK and the engines move the gondola to a new location.
If the servo does not work and does not close the contacts, the process stops for a pause.
Without such a check, the traces of the pencil appear at the time of idling, which should not be.
If you use a bot as a toy, it’s good and as it is, but if the work is serious and big, you can not do without checking …
I also noticed a feature. When I press the pause button, the gondola stops and rises, after pressing the gong, the gondola remains raised until the next operation of the servo from the G code.
As a result, a skip is obtained in the figure …

How to connect a stepper motor instead of a servomotor?
I want to make a gondola with a pencil lift, it’s uncomfortable to push off the paper – you can smear the drawing …
Stepper motor from dvd would be more convenient to use.
Is there a simple solution or is it too difficult?
https://youtu.be/fYDsWfwbsGg
The system with levers is complex and weak, many details, loss of frictional force …

[Vladimir]

Migration on the Uno does not make sense, it’s cheaper to buy Arduino Mega + RAMPS.
Time = money
Will be faster and cheaper.

[Vladimir]

Little sorry that failed to fix the problem with the display of the gondola path in the software, but you must rest !!! We will very much wait for you from vacation!)))

[Vladimir]

I replaced the pins from motor 1 to motor 4 and it all worked!
There may be a problem in ramps or an arduino board …
But it will not hurt to check!)))
Thank you.
Have a nice rest!))

Hello.
I can not adjust the correct motor motion (1) (Y) top right. the engine always rotates in one direction.
If I change the wires, the motor rotates in the other direction, but always in the same direction.
I changed the motors in places, swapped the wires and drivers …
Nothing helped.
Arduino ATmega 2560 + Ramps 1.4 + Nema 17

[Vladimir]

Hello!
I added to the file zarplotter.h
#define HAS_SD // comment this out if there is no SD card
#define HAS_LCD // comment this out if there is no SMART LCD controller
and i see in monitor arduino

Click to continue

if click i see

The path of the gondola on the display in Makelangelo-7.15.3-with-dependencies.jar and the path drawn – do not match, you can not see where the gondola is at the moment. Judging by the display, it spins around the home position.

In all versions, after pressing the “pause” button, the servo lifts the pencil, after “unpause” the machine continues to work from the stopped place, but the pencil remains raised.

what am I doing wrong?

[Vladimir]

can I make Zarplotter 2000 mm by 2000 mm ?

[Vladimir]

firmware 5.17.3
if in configure.h specifies zarplotter, the LCD panel does not work
if in configure.h specifies polargraph, the LCD panel is work

Comands: “This is home” and “Go home” work as expected. Thank you !!!)
P.S.
in the firmware is not enough command
“Start at line #”

[Vladimir]

updated to:
Makelangelo firmware-5.17.3
Makelangelo-7.15.3-with dependencies
+ Canvas size is saved! Thank you!))
+ The diameter of the pen is saved Thank you!))
///////////////////////////////////////
– Did not work “Start at line #” … (((
I have a file of 170 000 lines, I had to draw from the line number 90 000, but the machine began to draw from the very beginning.
– The style “Wander” does not work

[Vladimir]

I did not know that there was a new version.(( in the morning I will find where to download and test. I will write about the result. thanks, given that you give this business so much time!!!

[Vladimir]

we all really appreciate your work. Thank you !!!

[Vladimir]

When we close the window in the car, we do not need to slam the door for this.
If we suggest changing the diameter of the pencil, you must save the new pencil diameter without changing the paper size, or warn the user that the settings are retained ONLY after changing the paper size.
The size of the canvas 1000 mm by 1200 mm does not save at all.
Any arbitrary size of the canvas can not be saved.
Save only the sizes from the drop-down list …
I did not find the log file. in the old versions was, in the new no.

I have similar problems with the settings
Through the cable the machine stops, the SD card does not start the home position.
The video is great but you have to look ….
To be honest, I’m at a dead end, every attempt to draw something ends in a breakdown.

My drawing machine with a size of 1514 mm for 2000 mm
I’m a designer and I have a big canvas
Thousand millimeters per thousand two hundred millimeters, but I can not save the settings for this canvas !!!
I changed the machine UID from -1 to 1 … It did not help ….
Really does not work !!!
You can change the parameters of the pencil only by changing the paper size. ))))

and
Animation control
not active

Thank you. I copied all the files. I compiled and loaded the firmware without errors. Now the start button and home in the Meakelangelo software window are not activated. I’ll continue in the morning, we are far past midnight …))

with the new configure.h file
First there was an error due to a lack of the robot_arm6.h file
when I added the missing robot_arm6.h file
again error:
