When you load Arduino 023 software, and then the Marlin, which I put in another directory, it does not compile properly.
You have to copy the Marlin into the Arduino folders in the appropriate locations.
Then magically my LCD worked immediately.
I started playing with the controls and promptly broke the end stop switches when the carriage ran into them and snapped the little metal levers off.
Now I know why people are using the Hall Sensors instead, the mechanicals are too flimsy for this application.
The six magnets are for the Halls, 3 are spares.
Can anyone show me what the Marlin config for the Halls are and what wires go where on the leads.
I am not configuring the Hall properly in the software apparently or I wired it wrong.
I thought the VCC is red, gnd is black and signal is blue but that does not seem to work when plugged in to the endstops on the ramps board.
I'll be installing all the Halls endstops now that all 3 mechnicals are broken.
