And it works fine too
Don't know yet which solution I will finally use: RS232 or FTDI USB cable... In the first case, I plan to make a special USB cable, with only power lines, to power up the RS232-TTL converter...
It looks like the COMMS is messed up on my Azteeg X3. I've been running my hadron off a Raspberry Pi using Octoprint and it worked great but tonight I went to print something and getting some weird results. I can connect as normal and jog the motors but as soon as I try and turn on a heater I get a disconnection from the X3. To troubleshoot, I hooked the printer back up to my main computer (that I used for the purpose before using the R-Pi) and got the same results.
My question, if the FTDI chip on the X3 burned out, can I bypass it and go to the pins on J2 using something like the link above or are they just another interface for the on-board FTDI?
