sd card problem

[gyrogearloose]

Hi,
I am running the hadron with a Panucatt X3 board. So far I had little luck with the board recognizing the SD card. I tries 3 different cards so far, a 4Gb scandisc, a 4Gb Lexar and a 2Gb micro SD. With the 2 Gb one, the green led on the board comes on for a few seconds, but then it drops out. The others do not work at all. Anything I can change in the settings to be able to print from a card?

Did you enable SDCARD support in the firmware by uncommenting the definition in configuration.h?

I don't know. The only reference in config.h. about SD support is right at the bottom of the list. There is no definition next to it.

Which firmware are you running? In marlin, there are commented line like this:

//LCD and SD support
//#define ULTRA_LCD //general lcd support, also 16x2
//#define SDSUPPORT // Enable SD Card Support in Hardware Console

change the thrird line to

#define SDSUPPORT // Enable SD Card Support in Hardware Console

Sprinter is similar.

I am using Marlin. I have changed what you recommended, but still no go.

Silly question (so feel free to slap me), but after changing that, have you successfully compiled Marlin and uploaded it to the controller?

Yes, I uploaded the changes.

Yes, I uploaded the changes.

Did you power off the arduino by unplugging the USB cable and unplugging the 12v power supply?

It shouldn't matter, programming the Arduino always ends with a reset.

Look for a line that mentions SDCARDDETECTINVERTED in Configuration_adv.h.
Try uncommenting it if it's commented, or commenting it if it's uncommented. There's three lines immediately below that always undefine it if ULTIPANEL is defined, so make sure to comment those as well, or the first one won't have any effect.

See if that helps by any chance.

Edit: Also, go into pins.h, somewhere around line 325 there should be a line that says "#define SDCARDDETECT -1". If it doesn't say -1, set it to -1. That should disable the SD card detect pin for MOTHERBOARD 33 and 34 if it's enabled by any chance.

I didn't have to change any of the advanced configuration settings in the latest Marlin (just a few days ago) to may it work with my Azteeg X3 and SD card.

It might be a good time to contact Roy about your problem. There may be an issue with the X3 unless you've just been unlucky with the 3 microSD cards that you've tried.
