Hi there, I have a M2, just finished assembly and installed CNCjs software fir win10. I’ve followed the instructions in the manual - which are not great BTW - connected the M2 to USB, Win10 discovered the Due board. Within the CNCjs software, I set the baud rate 38400, set port to COM4 - however NO Due board name.
THe console in CNCjs states that it is connected. There is an ANNOYING high pitch buzz from the due controller, HOWEVER there is nothing in the console window. just the CNCjs, sahying connected com4, baud rate 38400.
It does not accept commands.
I am Unable to unlock the M2, nor send commands to it, or run ANY form of calibration.
so you should be able to do the simple square calibration and continue.
The motors will hum while it is on unless you tell them to sleep. To wake again from sleep, press the reset button and then the unlock button. Before you try to move with the shuttle commands, reset home (only the first time and after that, only when you mean to center it and reset your calibration to home position. If you try to move anything before that, you run the risk of driving the sled off the edge. If it is the top edge, it will rip apart your ring, if it is the bottom edge, it may yank out your chain nails. Please be careful and if things don’t go as you expect, press reset quickly or pull the plug.
Install the Arduino ide and then instal the 32 bit due board support for it. Example here. The thing that is strange to me is that the system recognizes it is the programming port, which should work.
Once you get the Arduino ide loaded, open a serial port monitor and copy paste the output here. You may want to turn off auto scroll.
Hi Orob, Apologies for taking so long to reply. I have managed to get my Maslow m2 working, using s different laptop!
I installed Arduino on another laptop, with Due Driver board as well as makerverse, Plugged the M2 in and presto! its working. I managed to calibrate and do a test cut.
Oh and i’m not sure whats up with the original laptop. i use it to CNC mill and is working ok. But i’m not thinking of doing a complete reinstall of windows and my milling software (Centriod Acorn CNC) as I’d lie to use just one laptop in the garage.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have Arduino Due controller and I downloaded firmware successfully to Arduino Due (Firmware: MaslowDue Download v20200915) 100% 289/289 pages.
When I open the serial monitor (38400 baud) it only returns e.
I think it should return the current version of Arduino firmware and other information if the firmware works correctly.
I have tried to connect Makerverse (M2) the same way as in this original post.
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem and if you have found a solution for this.
I have just Arduino Due boar connected no motor shield this time. Can that make a difference?
I believe there is a storage chip on the shield for the due, so if no shield is connected. It won’t load completely. Does it load if you reconnect it to the shield?
I have tried to reconnect and reset Arduino. Same response on IDE serial monitor. It will return e every time when Arduino restarts. This is Adruino Due China clone, but I have tested it with different other programs and it seems to work.
you get this working? you might consider reprogramming the bootloader and clearing the eeprom. I don’t have instructions for you on how to do that. you would need to consult our good friend google.
