LPC boards #6
Comments
It looks like you'll have to disable current control on the X5. Its spec sheet says: "Digital pot stepper driver current control (Panucatt drivers only)" |
I was able to test with Cohesion3D Remix (without i2c current chip) and MKS SBase (with i2c current chip). The Azteeg X5 has slightly different pin mapping than a smoothieboard, but should theoretically also work. |
Has anyone been able to load the GRBL-LPC firmware on a X5 mini v3? I've tried with a 4gb formatted as fat and fat32. At power up the 'halt' light comes on and stays lit, lights flash 1, 3, 1 and go out. 'Halt' stays lit. It thinks the firmware is loaded because it writes FIRMWARE.CUR back to the card. Laserweb4 can see a com port, but when I try to connect it says no recognized firmware found. The X5 mini v3 will accept all of the Smoothie firmware versions. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance. |
@flatbroker see if you can talk to it using a terminal (e.g. PuTTY). |
The Azteeg X5 mini doesn't have a i2c stepper current chip, so you need to use the version without i2s support (from my repo https://github.com/cprezzi/grbl-LPC/releases or compile yourself), otherwise the firmware cannot boot. |
@tbfleming, No luck with terminal communication. |
@flatbroker I'm sorry. It's hard to help without beeing able to test. There must be something that still prevents the firmware from booting. It seems that the pin mapping is slightly different to the Smoothieboard. If you send me your Smoothieware config file, I can try to compile a special version for you. |
@cprezzi It is attached. Thanks for your time and help. |

@cprezzi @tbfleming : I'm unfamiliar with LPC boards. Can you provide a list of compatible LPC boards supported? If I understand correctly, there are others like Panucatt's Azteeg X5, which I can easily request for. I think it'll probably be a good idea for me to have one on hand.
