First Run
For the first run - we must set up the electronics:
- Power to the 12V and 48V power supply
- Power to the RAMPS board
- Signal to relay
- USB wire to computer
- set up correct motion control
- Test the solenoid relay for - paying attention to high side vs low side switching
verify that the electronic
Direction of Motion
The orientation of the belt peg determines whether an axis will move in one or the opposite direction when the stepper motor spins in one direction.
Builds involving the Universal Axis used to involve careful attention to the correct orientation of the belt peg hole. We have removed this requirement after 2 build workshops of 2017, because in one workshop, only 1 of 12 build groups got the orientation correct. This happened even when the build participants had a real-life model of the finished 3D printer to look at. Nonetheless, people spent hours correcting the orientation - still to attain the poor results of 1 in 12.
The point is that it is much easier to correct for belt peg orientation on the RAMPS controller - simply by reversing the stepper motor plug on the RAMPS board.
