Started a new thread:
http://geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=19897

I saw that someone else also posted 1.1.4 but I post my version anyways. ;-)

I will probably not update this thread anymore. The releases for the stable version is more frequent now compared with before.
Hi Niklas,

What do I need to remove/comment out in order to use your firmware on my Pro B without a probe?
Thanks.
Hi there!

Look in the other thread. There you should have instructions for what to remove. :)

Flashed fine on my Pro B without probe (after making the changes to disable the probe and entering my Z/E steps).
Will test a print later.

Thanks for this Niklas

hmm, my auto home seems to send the head to the center of the bed when homing Z (after homing X & Y correctly)?
Please note that I am NOT usiung the 3DTouch.

My Settings:

Code: Select all


// Travel limits after homing (units are in mm)
#define X_MIN_POS -15
#define Y_MIN_POS 5
#define Z_MIN_POS 0
#define X_MAX_POS 200
#define Y_MAX_POS 200
#define Z_MAX_POS 180
And this:

Code: Select all

// @section homing

// The center of the bed is at (X=0, Y=0)
#define BED_CENTER_AT_0_0

// Manually set the home position. Leave these undefined for automatic settings.
// For DELTA this is the top-center of the Cartesian print volume.
#define MANUAL_X_HOME_POS 0
#define MANUAL_Y_HOME_POS 0
#define MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS 0
Any ideas how to fix it?

The above issue of mine has been resolved by commenting out "#define Z_SAFE_HOMING"

Thanks again for this Niklas!

Hi,

First i want to thank for all the help, and i'm almost there setting this firmare in my ProB.

But after Bl touch tuned and working fine, it appears that i have an issue with the SD card reader. It doesnt show filenames on screen. If i remove and insert several times, names shows but they can't be scrolled or selected. I already lowered SPI speed to eight but it does not fix the issue. SD Support is enabled.

As i mostly print for SD, this is a big issue for me.

M21 in repetier lists the files, so the card reader seems OK, it seems to be more some User Interface bug.

Any clue with this ? I'm quite lost with code !

Thanks by advance,

RLF

Hi !

First, thanks everybody, this post helped me a lot. My BL Touch is now functional after some tweacking.

But i have a problem with the firmware. Before flashing, my SD Card was working perfectly, but now, filenames does not appear most of the time, and when they appear, they are not selectable.

SD Support is enabled and i reduced SPI speed to eight, juste to check, but nothing change.

When i use M21 in repetier, the filenames appears, so th SD card reader works.

Any clues with this issue ? I print mostly from SD, so it's a big issue for me !

Also tried 1.1.8 and the issue is the same.

Thanks by advance

***EDIT***

Oh Dear, sorry for the double post ! I'm still testing but there is no way to make it work. I reverted to the Geetech Official firmware, SD Card works with it (proof that it's not a hardware issue), but the BLTouch support is Awful and G29 not working. I really like BLtouch managment in 1.1.X but without beeing able to print from SD, i'm totally stuck !

Hi. I found the issue that is present in most firmwares (including the 1.1.8) on this website.
The stock firmware has the following in Configuration.h:
#ifndef MOTHERBOARD
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_ULTIMAKER
#endif

However all the firmwares here have:
#ifndef MOTHERBOARD
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_GT2560_REV_A_PLUS
#endif

These affect which files are used out of the pin files.
They are identical for both options apart from a few parameters.

To fix the issue, go to the file pins_GT2560_REV_A.h and delete/comment out any definitions that include pin -1 and the SD card, apart from
#define SD_DETECT_PIN -1


That should do it.

OK, Thanks a lot !

*** EDIT ***

Hello i commented in pins_GT2650_REV_A.h

#define SDPOWER -1
#define KILL_PIN -1

I did not comment

#define SD_DETECT_PIN -1

The issue is still the same. Assuming i'm using a GT2560 rev A+ i checked anything in pins_GT2560_REV_A_PLUS and nothing related about pin -1

Do you have any idea ?

thx by advance

RLF
