[SOLVED] GRemoteFull doesn't seem to function

#1

Hi :slight_smile:
We bought the XY Plotter and we wanted to make it run with GCodeParser and GRemoteFull and an Arduino Uno plugged on COM3 hub.
We followed this to test it : http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-Makeblock-XY-Plotter-v20/step12/Draw-the-first-picture/ , but GRemoteFull doesn’t react.
When we open GRemoteFull, this is what we can read :
"=> init
port reset, sending init sequence
<= $1 X8 Y12 Z21"
We have to stop a sequence when we run the software, and when we want to try with the fish drawing, it doesn’t nothing.

Did any of you had his problem ?

Hello,

which GCodeParser are you using since there are multiple ones its hard to help.
I recommend this thread http://forum.makeblock.cc/t/how-to-setup-the-plotter-for-g-code-use/5663/27
it helped me to set it up.

Cheers

We use the one based on ControlP5 2.0.4
Here is a picture, this way you can maybe see wich one it is, and what is showed

Hi

I didnt mean the version of GRemote i meant the Version of your GCodeParser which you have uploaded to your Board with Arduino

cheers

I uploaded the one updated on 2016/06/19, with the modification suggested by npmurphy on 2016/06/17 on github
And all my team is working with Arduino 1.6.12

Hi

you should check that the PIN Layout in the Parser matches with your Settings in GRemote
here is a screenshot of my Parser and my GRemote settings

The waiting indicator is still red, and nothing happen.

I think my team and I are some dumbs because … Some of us were trying to test the Arduino Uno alone, without the XY Plotter (as the others were building it). Maybe that’s the problem …

We tried with some micro limit switches, and now it works.
Thanks a lot for your help, I think without the PIN infos you gave, it would not have functionned.

And sorry for the stupid mistake we made …

Glad to hear, that it works!
