Kinda a repost from the Delta section, but it seems to be more or a ramps problem than a delta problem.
Not really sure where to start. I picked up a Rostock Mini from a friend and its running a ramps 1.4/Mega combo. While I'm still trying to learn I disconnected the hotend/temp sensor. Right now I'm just trying to get it to move/draw stuff with a pencil.
All the motors move up and down consistently when running the ramps test sketch, but when I configure (using the default Delta Config) and load marlin (1.02 off GitHub) I can't get anything to move. I can connect through serial on arduino IDE and get status of the baord (compile date, geometry, etc) and I am able to connect to the printer with Repetier Host. Whenever I sent commands through terminal/Repetier the printer doesn't do anything (no humming, noise, etc). I send move X 10 in manual controls in Repetier and I get nothing. I send "M301" from Arduino Serial Monitor and get nothing.
I don't even know where to start to diagnose this problem (I'm guessing it's in the config file) Could it be limit switches and internal pull-ups (I disabled END_STOP_MIN/MAX)?
Is there a command I can send through the Arduino IDE serial terminal to just make it move or confirm its kinda working?
Should I try another firmware? Is Repetier a better choice for this printer?
Thanks for any help.
