Re: Servo control with A30

Meaning there is no place to plug in a servo on the A30 motherboard? OK, then maybe come at it from a different angle. Is there a pin on the board that I can trigger with an M code command? If so, then maybe I can program an Arduino Uno that takes that signal, and actually deploys/stows the arm?

Servo control with A30

HI. I have built a servo controlled nozzle wiper which I have mounted on the frame of my A30. The goal is to set up an M code routine to raise the nozzle to a set height, deploy the brush arm attached to the servo from it's stowed location to a specific degree setting over the print bed, then move t...

3D Touch sensor Installation

Do you have any pictures that show how the 3D Touch sensor is to be connected on the new A30? I have been fighting trying to get auto-levelnig working for a couple of months now - and STILL no luck!

Re: Touch 3D - Auto Level Z axis too high

OK - By way of an update. They are sending me a new extruder breakout board. God willing that fixes it. On their facebook page, someone suggested I upgrade the firmware (was at 1.37.58, now at 1.38.59) which I did but alas, no joy - still the same behavior.

Re: Touch 3D - Auto Level Z axis too high

And then, I finally get a reply from a Tom Yuan who tells me to watch a video I've watched perhaps 30 times trying to get this solved. It's apparent he didn't read the email I sent. How frustrating! :x

Posted in the general Geetech Facebook page, and low and behold, I got a response from them! Hopefully, they reply quickly.

Re: Touch 3D - Auto Level Z axis too high

Ya, I don't have 10K SMD resistors either, and don't like messing with SMD. Please hook me up with him if you could please sir. The other issue I ran into and solved on my own is the way they had the Z Axis limit switch mounted was too high, and had no means to adjust it I couldn't get the nozzle cl...

Re: Touch 3D - Auto Level Z axis too high

I haven't been able to get in touch with Geeetech support AT ALL. I've sent three messages to them through their site, all unanswered, and tried calling them, all went unanswered as well. NOT impressed with their after sale support!

Re: Touch 3D - Auto Level Z axis too high

I have a similar, but WEIRD issue. I just got my printer (with Auto Level included) in mid Feb 2019. I have overcome several issues with it out of the box, but one - Auto Level. I manually set the nozzle height using a piece of A4 paper. I check and set all 5 points, then save them with OK. After ch...
