Something like *what* in the Makelangelo software?
I’m not sure why you’d be seeing a deformation. I have not carefully measured movements in a long time, I’ve been focused on manufacturing and bug fixing.
Open arduino serial window connected to robot.
Manually position pen holder at the home position.
Send “D12” to robot. Robot will move until switches are hit, record distance, return to home position.
From now on you should be able to G28 and get there automatically.Does that help?
open DXF in Inkscape (free). ungroup everything (only paths in file). Export as DXF. Should smash everything down to R12.
I mean the dial that you turn and click. Did you not see the setup and first drawing videos? I will make them more clear in future releases.
The “stop” button reboots the robot.
There is older firmware for makelangelos that uses the AMS. https://github.com/MarginallyClever/makelangeloFirmwareAMS
If you get it working with the latest version of makelangelo-software, please make a pull request.
Then your changes can help everyone else.We are currently looking at doing this in the Makelangelo 6 thread. More info soon.
click the button on the LCD panel. in some drawings with many layers (colors) the beep is your cue to change pens.
https://reprap.org/wiki/File:RRD_RUMBA_TAURINO_DriverSetup.zip is the trusted link. We are having communication problems.

I’m sorry. I didn’t see Taurino in the name. Taurino is an off-brand mega 2560 clone. I did not know they use the same driver file.
Taurino is not Rumba.
> The Arduino Mega 2560 appears only as Universal Serial Bus devices.
And you installed the RUMBA driver? Some of this conversation is lost because you keep trying to email me half of what is said. Here is the link again for the driver: https://reprap.org/wiki/RUMBA#RUMBA_USB_Driver_for_Windows
The only time I’ve heard of the Mega 2560 appearing in the bus devices AND arduino/etc not being allowed to connect was when a student used a school computer and the school security system would not allow remote device connections.
Because this is so rare I have opened a ticket with arduino: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=592734.msg4030341#msg4030341
What the hell is File-Preferences-C/Users…Arduino15/preferences.txt? You’re not answering my questions.
You have jumper set to “stand alone”? see yellow jumper here: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51K6Bo1cxOL._SX385_.jpg
You have power to robot?
You have USB connected?
You have driver installed?
USB device appears in windows > settings > bluetooth & other devices > other devices?
Arduino > Tools > Port still grey?
The only jumper I care about is the “stand alone” jumper.
Now that your PC recognizes the RUMBA as a mega2560 you should be able to connect.
The D1 and a v3 CNC shield for UNO cost about $10 USD, which will mean I can offer free shipping on all future orders. (shwing!)
I know @Miguel Sanchez got it to work. My challenge is
(a) to do it in a way that is easy to build, say, 50 at a time.
(b) to support the code for this and the v5 and the v3.We do not have any instructions about the #2 jumper. I don’t know why you decided to add it OR what it will do. Please remove it.
Please install arduino app (http://Arduino.cc)
open app
connect power & USB to robot.
click tools > port > [something] mega 2560.
click the magnifying glass (far right)
change baud to 57600.
change newline to “newline”.
Hello World message should appear.
type “G28” and hit enter.
robot should home automatically.Please let me know your results.

In the bottom left corner there is a label that says “12v”. left of that is an triangle pointing down. the servo wire 3-pin connector should be connected one row down.
Here’s another picture that shows it connected. Note that (a) the black wire is on the right and (b) the two pins under “12v” are NOT connected to the servo wire.
On the other end of the cable…
cable black -> servo red
cable red -> servo brown
cable white -> servo yellowI know for certain that updating the list of items on the SD card is very very slow. If the brain is making the list is is not also reading the dial change. Makes the dial change look slow. I haven’t found a fix yet. I believe some 3D printers sort the list once when the card is inserted to avoid this problem.
Your issue may be related, but I haven’t tested to confirm this. I remember being able to get to “print from sd card” and then after that things get difficult.
I am currently looking at using a Wemos D1 for the next motherboard. It has wifi built in so it will be able to run with one less wire. I would not run completely wireless because the motors use a lot of power.
I am just back from winter vacation and I’m going to order the parts today. This is now the official thread for the next edition!
Glad you found it! 🙂
The yellow jumper in the red box should be on the middle pin and the “stand alone” pin. otherwise the machine does not have enough power to run the motors.
The other jumpers are not important.
