Hello all,

I'm currently building a SCARA Arm 3d printer and got some parts working.

I'm using the Marlin firmware by qharley, edited byJCERNY to drive the arm.

So far i got it to home to endstops and make it move. i'm having problems calibrating home positions though and i'm hoping you guys could help.

It's a single Scara arm so it may be different than the usual morgan scara arm, and maybe that's what's giving me problems?

the goal is a single arm, with a theta length of 162 mm, and the same for the psi length also 162 mm.

I got the steps/revolution set right.

Some other problems i'm having is that sometimes when i want the arm to move say 10mm, it just keeps rotating, this doesn't always happen though.

My question here is can you guys help me get this to work since there's not alot of documentation about getting a scara arm to work with marlin.

I made a github for this so if you can please commit changes.

If anything is unclear or more information is neccesary please let me know.

the github can be found here: https://github.com/Napalm1432/Marlin-for-Scara-arm/tree/master/Marlin-for-Scara-Arm-Development

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
