Hello,
I've successfully connected my old Xbox 360 12V 203 watt PSU to my RAMPS board with nothing else connected but a single stepper motor for x-axis. I am trying to bench test this to make sure I get the stepper motor wiring right. I've definitely got the two coils identified so I'm pretty sure I have it at least partially right, I'm just trying to get the correct rotation direction.
However, if I load Marlin, I can get it to connect via pronterface, but I cannot get it to do much else; M92 commands do not reply with an OK and M501/M500 also do not seem to respond, and I get no rotation on any x-axis commands.
If I load Repetier firmware, it connects via Repetier-Host, but it seems to just hang with a "6 Command Waiting" error message.
Am I missing something obvious? Any help/suggestions appreciated.
