Hi, people,
I would like to test all my motors and movement before installing everything on the printer.
So I put together the RAMPS 1.4, stepper drivers and 3 stepper motors, installed and roughly configured the Marlin so I could play a bit...
Can I somehow make Pronterface think that thermistor readings are ok so I could move motors in any direction, not only to "home" ie one direction until endstop? Or should I reconfigure the firmware? What would be the quickest way?
Another question: I had a problem turning my z-axis motors. They would only make noise and not move. I tried swapping the drivers, the motors, and found that all components are healthy and fine, just the z-axis on my ramps board seems "dead". So I tried setting it to 1/16 microstepping and the motors started turning. Anyone knows where the catch could be? I didn't change current settings on stepper drivers or anything. z-axis doesn't even work with only one motor attached, if not in microstepping mode.
