Hi, really glad there are people like yourself helping those who can't program still have access to SCARA firmware! I have recently built my own single arm but have been having trouble getting the firmware to respond to repetier host and gcode however, I'm hoping it is a simple thing I am missing, especially seeing most other people don't bring up the issue.

So to begin, I followed your very helpful video guide and machine demonstration. I configured my machine accordingly and uploaded to a RAMPS Arduino Combo. When I power my machine on, I check M119 and make sure the endstops are fine and then issue a G28 to home in a zyx order. First the z homes, pulls up, and then the y motor either moves a short distance and causes the x axis to move a short distance, machine stops. If the y motor contacts its endstop, the x axis homes properly and centers itself, then the machine stops without the y-axis pulling away and centering itself. I don't know if this has correlation with the repetier interface not being able to move the machine outside of homing or trying to print with gcode where none of the motors seem to respond and repetier believes prints finish in seconds rather than minutes.

I also tried attatching an LCD to manually move the machine but I could only move the z-axis in a very odd manner. First the y motor would jolt 1-2 degrees before I could move the arm up or down. The steps per mm were way too high so I lowered the steps on the z-axis to 25% of its previous value, reuploaded, and when I tried moving the z-axis again, the steps per mm were unchanged.

Could there be something wrong with my hardware? I do get this message from the Arduino IDE that the memory of my Mega is low and "stability problems may occur" but that seems like an out of the ordinary problem for the default board. Thoughts? I've seen some Issue pages where people copy and paste their config.h but that seems to stop people from responding. I'll do it anyways if you want. Many thanks to anyone who is willing to help!

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll double check my configuration and see about getting my hands on some spare motors and ramps/arduino to swap things out. I'll update as soon as I can, thanks again!

So an update, I need another day or two to get some fresh motors on the machine, but I have swapped out the Arduino, Ramps, and DRV8825's for some new ones and A4988's just to compare. The machine still homes, kind of, the repetier manual control interface is all but useless with exception with the command prompt input. There I issued G28 and I'm kind of still at the same place but worse, z triggers prematurely despite M119 checking out fine, y motor still has the short stop error, x-axis now tries to spin 360 degrees. I'll post another update when the new motors arrive.

In the meantime could you help me with configuring the machine? I genuinely believe I have followed your instructions in the video but you understand your firmware better than I ever could.

I really appreciate the catch, I swapped the endstops on the control board and adjusted the config respectfully, I feel like I am asking for too much but could you take a look at these revised sketches down below if I got the angles right? I found if I disabled the pullup on the Z that it now homes properly but after I tried turning off the software endstops and turning them back on the machine now only homes in the z axis and stops whenever the y-endstop is triggered. Haha.. I am just a disaster train with this.. My school's lab was nice enough to let me cannibalize some motors from a partially assembled kit so I'll get to swapping my motors. I am incredibly grateful for your help!

Hi, I swapped several motors but didn't have any different results, I also tried another orientation shown below without luck. Nothing moves when the y-min end stop is triggered, a test print for a 20mm cube finished in 2m3s on repetier host without movement at 60mm/s with 2 perimeters, 10% infill, should have been a 30-40 minute job, only the temperature worked. I'll look to get a third Ramps and Arduino but I'm not really sure what else I can do.

Sorry for the long delay, was trying to figure out a way to provide a video of the uncontrolled spinning problem for the shoulder, I tried my best to measure and input all the angles counter clockwise

Thanks! and interesting, hmm, I'll swap the y-min plug to y-max and reconfigure the firmware to meet it as you say, meanwhile what you're saying about moving the x end stop makes sense, I'll get right away on printing some small pieces as a temporary fix, I wasn't thinking about whether the machine should be right or left handed when I first modeled the parts so it will take me a few days to flip things and print them out.

I did have a stab at swapping the x-max to x-min and configuring the machine as though I were mirroring a right handed arm homing to its min end stops. Thought the worst case would be that the motions would be inverted. Lost control of the acceleration, feedrate, and home offset angle so that was weird. I'll give your suggestions a shot, they sound very promising.

Eternally grateful for the support!

Hi! sorry for the long time it took me to update, since I was making some changes to several parts of the body I decided to print more optimal parts to clean the machine up. Anyways, I finally have the machine right handed and I uploaded your firmware, tweaked some parts like inverting the xy motors and endstops to make sure everything was set to home to the min endstops. Unfortunatly, since I have tried to get the machine to home, only the y-endstop rapidly homes, I also scaled the travel, home, and jerk feedrates/accelerations to 1/10 their values and didn't have any effect on the arm. I'll spend the rest of the day to really play around with the configuration and make a recording maybe tonight or tomorrow to show the best results.

Best wishes!

Thanks! Not entirely sure what I did to make it move in the video but I am incredibly grateful for your advice, I'll get straight away to swapping the angles in config and the endstops on my board and let you know how it goes! Good grief, kind of a bit embarrassed by how it didn't occur to me it was weird the min angle was larger.

Hi, I swapped the y-min to y-max and their min max angles respectively, machine is now homing regularly to 225 degrees to the shoulder and 150 degrees at the elbow, I'll post the recent tweaks I've been making down below. I tried changing the bed center angles but they didn't respond, same for the homing and travel feedrates. Not sure what is restricting me from editing them.

I heard some people might have problems with eeprom settings overriding their controls, I found the one setting in the configuration.h and changed the 1 to -1, I have full control of the printer now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay... I hate to be the bringer of bad news, G5 commands are not working, the log always returns this:

11:58:19.345 : X:0.00 Y:0.00 Z:0.000 E:0.0000
11:58:19.349 : Shoulder Angle : 180.00 Elbow Angle : 0.00
11:58:19.353 : X position : 0.00 Y position : 0.00

I do have control of the SCARA settings like steps per unit, feedrate, homing angles, which is stupendous and really grateful for!! I'll try digging around in the eeprom.h if setting eeprom mode from 1 to -1 in the configuration.h disabled a gcode system or anything of the sort, it might also explain why 30min prints finish in a spectacular 30 seconds, one day 3D printing will be that amazing right? haha

Hmm, alright, thank you, that is good to know so I'll run M502 every time I connect just to be sure everything is cleaned out.

Like in this tutorial? Thank you, it was a good thing to look for.

I have some good news! When the machine homes, its position is set to X183 and Y85, if I run G3 X30 Y30 then the G5 X30, G5 Y-60 commands work! I'm still not sure what is happening but I just ran G1 X200 Y200 and the arm moved from one side to the other. Hmm oddly, if I run G3 X0 Y500 where the arm homes straight out at the shoulder being 180 degrees and the elbow being 0 degrees, I could not get any movement. May have just been a one time error so I'll try some other positions again.

I got the machine to make a square by using
G28
G1 X100 Y100
G1 X100 Y200
G1 X200 Y200
G1 X200 Y100

The square was not where it should have been but I will try to make a gcode file to see if I can get the machine printing, G5 still needs specific G3's to function.

I've been working with the wangsmas firmware and had the same issue with motors not working. Using dbug I discovered my steps per unit was very low maybe 32 and it appeared the number entered into config h XAXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT was not the same as the number being displayed. However my number would work using M92 but when I tried using the lcd config low number would go to 999 and stop. My steps per unit is 2160. The config h registered the correct figure when I added a decimal point. ie. 2160.0 Likewise the bed center angle for each arm did not register correctly at 90 degrees but worked using 90.0 deg. The marlin firmware 2.0 indicates to start with the scara config h file in the example folder. However the scara config is not updated to the 2.0 marlin firmware and has all kinds of errors and if you use the confg H example with the older firmware it errors and instructs you to update the firmware. Have been unable to successfully compile to even test.
