I had reconfigured my firmware and uploaded, but can not find out which settings I need for LCD and SD card display.

Some of the setting I did were found on the wiki site , but not all of them .
http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/ ... ck_mini_G2

Would be nice if you guys had a Github were I could download the configurations for Marlin firmware.
Also, I cant home the steppers now either. While it compiled for the Delta config and uploaded to the board
it no longer performs at all and is just on.

Hi, the firmware for printer has been well set, you don't need to change it.
Where did you get the firmware?

I had gotten the Firmware here(1) and compiled it and installed it.
Added the Delta Configuration.h Configuration_adv.h to the source and set the numbers to the ones in the wiki(2).

I had set the temp sensors to 100k for the hotend and 10k for the hotbed. Was getting MAXTEMP error otherwise.
But still does not let me run the manual stepper motor commands or the LCD/SD card slot anymore.

I need the complete specs to match the LCD type and board type which is set to :
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_RAMPS_13_EFB <-- This is one extruder RAMPS1.4 : Talking with tech online about this, I had not received a dual bracket, just a single hot end bracket, why I wanted to recompile for single until I got my dual bracket.
By default in the Configuration.h boards.h files.

UNDER TITLE: Modify the firmware of Delta.

Both resistance of thermistors are 100k.
Some parameters are different from the firmware you download.
We've sent you a well set firmware to your email, please try that.

zhangxueyou,
Thanks for the quick response. I have downloaded the firmware from my email and looked over the code, its using the Ultimaker
board setting. I was using a different setting totally. Plus see all the SD card and LCD code in the source tree. Will be busy , but get
to installing it it later. But looks like this is what I was looking for to get a good compile .

I'm having trouble with the temperature settings.
The bed heater and sensor are working fine.
I know this because I can set TEMP_SENSOR_0 0 to disable the hotend sensor.
But the hotend temp sensor gives me this error and locks the printer when enabled.

Error:Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting)

I have measured the temperature sensors and they are both working and 100k ohms.

I have set the motors coord for the Delta , will test them after I get the hotend sensor working.
Also, I have disabled the LCD and SD card slot for now, I keep getting the error when I set #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER

Would like to get the hotend temp sensor working first. Then work on the LCD/SD card slot.

I did get the LCD working, I had to uncomment the #define DISPLAY_CHARSET_HD44780_JAPAN

But still having the temperature setting issue.

: Extruder switched off. MINTEMP triggered !
Error:Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting)
echo:SD init fail

Is thermistor fine? Or have you well connected thermistor to corresponding slot ?

I have checked over and over again and its reading some resistance in accordance with the thermistor
at the end connector located by the second slot in between GT and reset button.

While typing G-CODE M105 on the direct serial connection I get the return debug data.
ok T:0.0 /0.0 B:28.9 /0.0 T0:0.0 /0.0 @:0 B@:0

Should not T0.0/0.0 be reading something besides 0.0 if the resistance is around 85k ohms.

If so, after work today (opposite of you guys side of the globe) I will disconnect the wires and unmount the board from the printer and check the the bottom side solder joints for bad connections. That will take a while though.

I have tested the controller board and it was ok, no problems.
What I had to do was change sensor slot to furthermost away from reset button.
Which was not what the wiki had shown. I also had to do this for the hotend temp also.

Sensors for the heat bed and extrruder 0 work fine now. This issue is resolved.

The next problem i'm now having is with the HOME POS. The position of Y and Z both pull to the top ,but X will always pulls down, away from the end stop, so it rams the carriage to the outside perimeter of the print space. (I'v tried to set the inverted X axis in RepetierHost but still no effect. )Must be something with a firmware setting.
