RE: Stepper Motor Upgrades to Eliminate VFA's (Vertical Fine Artifacts)

Guy - the firmware is missing some code.  It does not have the Z_MIN_POS defined, so it throws a flag when trying to verify/compile it.  I added #define Z_MIN_POS 0.15 to mine and now it verifies fine.

Which file? Where in the file?

In all four variant files in my repository I see it defined. 

// Travel limits after homing
#define X_MAX_POS 255
#define X_MIN_POS 0
#define Y_MAX_POS 212.5
#define Y_MIN_POS -4 //orig -4
#ifdef BMG_EXTRUDER
#define Z_MAX_POS 205 //kuo BMG height
#elifdef SKELESTRUDER
#define Z_MAX_POS 220 //Skelestruder height
#else
#define Z_MAX_POS 210 //default height
#endif
#define Z_MIN_POS 0.15

Guy's other changes pertain to stallguard tweaks, and some load distances for different extruders

There are also some tuned TMC2130 settings.

It was not in the mk3s file.

I don't know why it is missing from your copy.

It is definitely present in the GitHub files.

Universe just hates me.

I will download it again.

Oh, the missing line was in the 0.9 with LA15 section, which is now gone.  What happened?

No. It was present in the 0.9 and LA15 branch as well. I verified it existed in all four variant files (two in each branch) yesterday. 

But you are right, the 0.9 and LA15 branch has been deleted. The main 0.9 branch was made identical to the one with LA15 about two weeks ago. It no longer made any sense to maintain two separate, but identical branches. That addition to the main branch was noted in the main branch readme.

Deletion of the LA15 branch saves me work in code maintenance. Without the deletion, any edits to a variant file had to be replicated in three other variant files. Now, I'm back only need to change two files instead of four. 

Because the LA15 branch

Thanks for the info.  I did verify the line is there.  Sunspots, I blame sunspots...

And easier for you is better for all of us!

I have everything transferred into a 3.8.0, but still cannot get it to compile. For that matter, I get the same compiler error if I try to compile a fresh download of Prusa's MK3 branch. I suspect the compilation issue is inside the Prusa MK3 branch files.

Is anyone else able to compile either my new branch https://github.com/guykuo/Prusa-Firmware/tree/MK3-3.8.0-with-0.9-motors-LA15-Slice-Skelestruder-BMG or the Prusa plain 3.8.0 MK3 branch?

Error I get is...

Arduino: 1.8.9 (Mac OS X), Board: "RAMBo"

wiring.c.o (symbol from plugin): In function `__vector_23':

No issues on my end when I customized my stock build. But I'm on linux so I just run the PF-build.sh script.

Well that pretty much puts a halt on my firmware if I can't compile it on my machine

VintagePC, could you try compiling my new branch with your tools?

I'll give it a stab when I get home from work in a few hours.

I might be able to help. Make sure to delete the build dir when switching between branches or weird things can happen.

I'm planning on starting with a fresh 3.8.0-rc1 and porting your changes as a separate branch. That should make it easier to rebase onto newer Prusa releases.

Can you confirm that every single change you made in the code have a Kuo comment?

 

edit: I am getting the same compilation error as you on Prusa's 3.8.0-rc1. Let me try to figure that out.

Got a bit further. Looks like Prusa went to their own board definition. You can no longer use the Ultimachines Rambo board, but must load the PrusaResearch Rambo and us that as the target board.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DRracer/Arduino_Boards/master/IDE_Board_Manager/package_prusa3d_index.json

Is the new Additional Board Manager url that needs to be put into Arduino IDE.

Then you install the Prusa version of the Rambo and select that board instead of the Ultimachines board.

I get the following error messages.  I changed the language as required and I uncommented the BMG, left the X and Y uncommented, and commented out EXTRUDER_GEARRATIO_3375 and SLICETHERMISTOR and SLICEMAGNUM

I will add in and change to that board.

Use #elif instead of #elifdef; Win chokes on that, apparently. Thought we'd fixed that though, must have missed one.

RE: Stepper Motor Upgrades to Eliminate VFA's (Vertical Fine Artifacts)

I changed to the new board and still have it.  No problem, I can just do a find replace and try again.

That is it, just that one line.  It works once replaced.

Sketch uses 220278 bytes (86%) of program storage space. Maximum is 253952 bytes.
Global variables use 6146 bytes of dynamic memory.

I will test out the new firmware once my print is done, in about 5 hours.  Printing a holder for my Dynavap - so awesome what people put on Thingiverse!
