Servo control with A30

[blue.knight@comcast.net]

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 the nozzle on it's X-Axis back and forth through the brush a couple of times to clean it off. Is there a way to do this that is available in the motherboard that came with the A30 (a place to connect the servo)?

Hi, very good idea, but I am afraid can't achieve it.

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?

Hi, the A30 uses the smatto firmware.
For information about the motherboard,

For nozzle cleaning you should use bucket for dual colour printing. See my A10M profile thread
