I thought that creating a specific thread for my situation would help. Outsourcing if you will call it that, so…
Upon installing Marlin 1.1.6 and/or 1.1.9 I ham having issues with the movement of my steppers (in any axis direction).
There is a delay after each input from the encoder, and each input (no matter the value) will only move the axis by a few mm.
I have a TAZ 5 with the Openbuilds x and y axis mod, my own custom optical sensor probe, and an Aluminum Heated Bed.
Within Marlin, I have these values.
Have you considered trying the new version of marlin 2.0? https://github.com/SBachman/BLTouch-Taz-5 is a good place to start as he has bed leveling enabled, also recommend enabling z babystepping - it’s been super handy on my taz 5 with BLTouch.
I am still working on this and one part of the firmware is and has been making me wonder…
Line 601 - 603 in Configuration H where I define my stepper driver.
“a4988 is assumed for undefined drivers” so if I leave this commented, well you know what that means.
The option to define stepper drivers was not an option in Marlin 1.1.0-RC2 (The only version I can get to work with my printer)
To the best of my knowledge, I was able to determine that my printer (TAZ 5) I do not know the year. Is equipped with a Rambo 1.3 board that has A4982 integrated 1/16th stepper drivers.
So my questions are: Will I be defining this? does it matter? Could this be my problem?
