Re: MeDucer controller not working

OK, thank you for your help.

"Chinese culture is great and profound, it worth learning. :D "

Yes, it is. Some of my favourite music is Chinese Pure Land Chants. It is very beautiful and relaxing.

Re: MeDucer controller not working

I should say that when I cut the USB 5 volt cable and try to connect it to the board under printer power the USB cable still becomes hot very quickly. It seems to be supplying high current on one of the USB data cables. I haven't measured it because leaving it on very long at all can damage the comp...

Re: MeDucer controller not working

I removed the board entirely and removed the stepper drivers. All cables are unplugged with only the USB plugged in and supplying power.

Re: MeDucer controller not working

Perhaps I should mention that I know some Mandarin and read a little Chinese because in this part of Canada there are over 500,000 people that have a Chinese dialect as a first language.

Re: MeDucer controller not working

Something is very wrong on the control board. I was trying to upload the firmware but this time I turned on the main power before doing it.

Re: MeDucer controller not working

When I turned on the main power this morning the firmware immediately became scrambled again, the same as before. I double checked the voltages from the supply and they are correct. I tried to upload the firmware again but it now gives me a sync error and fails. I will be doing some more troubleshoo...

Re: MeDucer controller not working

I have finished the uploading and now have a correct display on the LCD. It is now late at night and I will try the machine tomorrow. Thank you for your help so far. I hope I can make it work but there are other issues that I must still correct. Those I can do but will take some machining work to fi...

Re: MeDucer controller not working

Sorry to misunderstand. I see that you attached the firmware to an e-mail so that is what I need. I will report when I test it.
