You're welcome.

Check out my RAMPS 1.4 playlists for now until I have a chance to make more RAMPS 1.4. it should help with most your questions.

Thanks. I'm trying to find time between work and videos, I'll have some time to build out a new video collection in about 17 days.

@@EdwardBraiman We are in no hurry, as long as you know it's appreciated! Thanks again! (little story from here) My Printer worked, but saw people switch their filaments on Y.T. so they could print two colors (I liked that!) I thought I wanted to be able to do that too, but that didn't go well with my setup. I have bowden setup and where the engine is nothing to turn the filament off, so I printed something for it WITH a new engine and also new Ramps with stepsticks. myalbum.com/photo/kAW6ut16f1Cb/1k0.jpg unfortunately OR the motor is broken OR the stepstick because the motor does not have enough power to push the filament ..... (I do not know yet!) since then I have been fired (I did nothing wrong! ;-) ) declared redundant? (is this the good translation? I don't know! Google Translate) I just couldn't do anything with the hobby anymore! (I now have work again (I am happy!) here some pictures of the construction, they are two printers that I have built (again a separate story) myalbum.com/album/niMpUDhlInjv again best regards! Rob

Check out my RAMPS 1.4 playlist and SKR 1.3 for some of the information. I'll have time in about 2 week to do something about this.

​@@EdwardBraiman Dear Edward, can you please share any additional link you might have about this? And are there more recent versions than 1.6 for RAMPS?

If you go to my profile there are older ramps 1.4 tutorials, just keep in mind Marlin firmware has changed over the years since these had been recorded.

@@EdwardBraiman thank you !!!

You're welcome.

USB power is segregated. I'll show on live stream Friday at 6 PM EST.

I able to activate the screen just by activating *#define** REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER* in _Configuration.h_

Could be, 5v is running the board logic from USB. Of it's not powered could be a regulator, but without seeing the wiring or knowing history of board, one can only guess.

Not sure which pins you are referring to, but Google ramps pinout diagram for your version of ramps and it will tell you what pins support. If it's a signal pin it's usually 5v, but can be 3.3v.

You'll need to remove comments for the stepper drivers in configuration.h. checkout my SKR.1.3 playlist and leave motherboard at defualt and serial port.

But i have stepper drivers, And i already changed it.

The process of setting up the physical stepper is not what I'm trying to point you to, it's the Marlin configuration. It might be better to skim through my playlist until I make a video on this motherboard.

Check the datasheet for the board, 24v steppers seems a little high.

Edward Braiman the steppers are 24 volt. But how do i control the voltage that is going to the motors? Do i just put 24 volts at the power input becouse it can go between 12 and 35 volts?

Depends on the stepper driver. The RAMPS 1.6 can handle 24v, but stepper drivers meter out power to stepper motors. This is why I'm pointing you in the direction of the stepper motor datasheet. Stepper driver boards like A4988, DRV8825, TMC2208, TMC2209, TMC 2130,... All have different power configurations. If you're unsure start with a simple 12v on something like a DRV8825 and a Nema17. Jumping into an advanced configuration may become expensive without consulting the datasheets. I'll be doing more tutorials on the RAMPS 1.6 in the coming days and weeks explaining the stepper driver install and configuration process.

Edward Braiman thank you

1.4 does 12v.

RE;@@EdwardBraiman Is that it, its voltage... Not worth changing then, esp when the current these days are handled by mosfets

It's more designed for new users. The firmware from my original tutorials is now dated and I'm fielding more questions regarding how Marlin firmware is not the same. Plus I'm testing a new camera and sound recording system to give a better tutorial experience.

@@EdwardBraiman ok and good luck. I've been watching your videos and found it useful in understanding ramps 1.4. So seeing 1.6 just raised my curiosity. Thanks again for your replies. Will be starting my own channel too soon. Fingers crossed

I am thinking of going 24V with some new and old printers with RAMPS 1.6 and I am checking if you think I still need to do the D1 diode mod or can I just throw a 24V PSU in with some 24V heater cartridge/fans and call it a day? I heard the mosfets, capacitors, fuses, and probably even the LED resistors on the 1.6 were fine for 24V but I'd appreciate hearing something more definitive from someone with more experience with 24V than me

Do you have a link for the probe? Checkout my playlist for ramps 1.4 for runout detector.

@@EdwardBraiman , good afternoon, I'm going to use 3d touch as your videos for leveling, v2 is more complicated, but I want to use the Prusa filament sensor. help.prusa3d.com/en/article/ir-filament-sensor-mk2-5s-mk3s_112214

@@EdwardBraiman Thanks for answering me I'm happy

What's the extruder temperature when you try and extruder?

@@EdwardBraiman i didn't connect the hot end to the board i just simply check the motors

Watch my Livestream from tonight and you'll see the explanation.

I'm guessing you are using Arduino IDE? They seem to be having issues lately based on the comments I'm seeing. In my playlist there's a tutorial on VScode with Platformio. It will work better.

I've not yet made a tutorial for RAMPS 1.6, but the process is same as RAMPS 1.4. checkout my RAMPS 1.4 playlist.

Edward Braiman there is not the two pins on the 1.6 board, that you would connect the hot end fan to

You can wire carefully from D9, but be careful. That will give you two fans with servo pins using a fan extender.

Remember this solution is based on a 12v power supply.

@@EdwardBraiman thanks for the video!! You mention in the video that the servo pins can be used for additional fans. Will a fan extender be needed if I want a fan for the extruder and the hotend? Would it take up all the servo pins(I'm currently using bltouch in servo 1), or can I use Aux 1? Thanks again for the great videos!

Eventually.

I am not familiar with v3.0, will older TMC2208 with the usual pin out just work the same as RAMPS 1.4 and 1.5? Looks to be a popular upgrade not having to flip some of the pins like what had to be done with the TMC 2130's

Daniel .Power Too many don't work with this card. I tried everything, but there was no way to make them work.

Could you rephrase?

@@EdwardBraiman I have a Ramps 1.6 Plus, TMC2208 v3.0 Uart and all rest is an Anet A8 with Tatara frame. I used Marlin 2. I made the cables with the 1kOhm resistor and connected them as described in "www.instructables.com/id/UART-This-Serial-Control-of-Stepper-Motors-With-th/" 1. I can't activate "Monitor_Driver_Status", because I have the following compilation error: Disable MONITOR DRIVER STATUS or use hardware serial. 2. compiled and loaded the firmware after disabling Monitor_Driver_Status, when I connect with Pronterface, I get the following errors: Testing X connection... Error: All LOW Testing Y connection... Error: All LOW Testing Z connection... Error: All LOW Testing E connection... Error: All LOW
