Nope

quaint reef
#

awesome tysm

vale gyro
#

Cursor is just .bin with a new extension to make MCU ignore it

quaint reef
#

ok got it

#

sooo

#

i can only format the sd card as fat32

#

but rrf docs say to format as fat16

#

does that work?

#

or do i need to download a sd card formatting tool

cloud lava
quaint reef
#

my windows said nuh uh

cloud lava
#

its fine and it ensures that the SD card is properly formatted🤷

quaint reef
#

yeah

#

might be restarted but i cant set it to fat16 specifically

quaint reef
#

can some1 explain the sd card structure to me?

quaint reef
vale gyro
#

In this root you need folders:
filaments
firmware
gcodes
macros
sys
And in these folders, files as shown by the tree

quaint reef
#

ok

cloud lava
quaint reef
#

yup

#

its just a placeholder

#

so gcodes is the folder for sliced files right?

cloud lava
#

The ones you upload to the printer go there

quaint reef
#

im guessing i can just use the sd card and drop files in there untill i get the esp or will that not work?

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

oh right

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

yes

#

i was going to check if it’s compatible with the board

#

and i forgor

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

its just my old config

#

so i know what im doing with the rrf configurator

#

does it matter how i place my drivers?

#

as in do they have to go in some order

#

or just an order that i understand and remember?

#

i was thinking of doing like X E0 U E1 Y - Z -

cloud lava
#

The configurator will have a default order that you are free to change

quaint reef
#

yeah ik i already checked it out just

#

if im supposed to put them in some order

cloud lava
#

Na as long as you assign the pins correctly

quaint reef
#

yup tysm

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

lol

#

that sounds insane to put it like that

#

gcode based config is actually pretty genius

vale gyro
cloud lava
quaint reef
#

if it cant burn my house down then i dont want it

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

also

#

1 question

#

how tf do i wire an e stop

#

i got the idea

#

of switching motors to dedicated input

#

and then cut off motor input and bed heater input

#

and run them in paralel

vale gyro
#

That's too many amps for a typical estop
The easy way is to power the mainboard using an external 5 V (old phone charger) and use estop to cut mains going to the 24 V PSU

quaint reef
#

dont mind the very professional sketch

quaint reef
#

so i need to buy a tiny 5v psu / dissasemble an old charger or smth

#

bcs i want to clean up the electronics

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

also i want to uhhh keep this on the back and add another switch between this and PSU(s) at the front of the printer

#

whats the safest way to do it?

#

just run the Vin wire through the entire printer to a switch at the front

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

DPST?

#

dual channel switch?

vale gyro
# quaint reef DPST?

DPST - double pole single throw
DPDT - double pole double throw
So switch with 2 circuits. DPST has only NO contacts, DPDT has both NO and NC

quaint reef
#

oh

#

that certainly limits the ammount of cool switches i can use :c

vale gyro
cloud lava
#

Or if your stock IEC socket is just single pole and you trip the breaker working on it despite it being off

quaint reef
#

yeah i get it

quaint reef
#

ok nvm im stupid

quaint reef
#

did the config

#

printer didn’t explode

#

i’ll see if it explodes when i try printing smth

#

but i kinda just want to wait for the esp

quaint reef
#

i’m considering abandoning idex for the foreseeable future

#

for financial reasons

quaint reef
#

i think its the play here

#

get it back up and running propperly

#

clean up the electronics

#

get a psu that wont burn my house down

#

and postpone idex

fixed bed thermistor soldering

#

fucked up by making a cable for the Y end stop

#

which i cant even fucking mount

#

i wasted so much time on this shit

#

aaaaaaaaaaaaw

#

omw to waste 5h trying to connect rrf to wifi

quaint reef
#

we ballin

quaint reef
#

the more i try to get this printer working

#

the more i want to just buy a pi and go back to klipper

#

rrf is so pointlessly confusing

cloud lava
#

Its definitely a transition from klipper

quaint reef
#

ive spend 5h trying to set up sensorless homing

#

and it doesnt even work

#

in klipper its 5-10 minutes

quaint reef
#

im looking at that

#

im looking at the gcode dictionary

quaint reef
#

im in the rrf discord

quaint reef
#

sensorless homing in rrf is dogshit to a point where it made me go back to limit switches

#

i’ll set it up tmrw

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

klipper worked

#

rrf doesnt and nobody knows why

#

installed the limit switch

#

it works now

quaint reef
#

in kalico it was flawless

#

i literally just change 1 line

#

and im using sensorless or limit switches

cyan blaze
#

unless "[less] repeatable and [more] prone to false triggers" is the symptom of running at full current during homing, because your firmware doesn't have the option to reduce it built-in

vale gyro
quaint reef
#

after a grueling battle

#

this piece of shit finally homes

quaint reef
#

yes i fixed the wrong x position after homeZ

quaint reef
#

#

too busy to do more calibration
