dust storm you read about conversion the m201 to arduino? you have more info about this?

Hi,

I wrote in another post that I have ordered a RAMPS board and that I wanted to try it on the M201.
M201's hotend seems to be an E3D Cyclops (http://e3d-online.com/Cyclops) and they say it can be run with a RAMPS and Open Source firmware, so...

I have created a guide for Mac-users to install new firmware, maybe helpful for some. (It should be easy to adapt to Linux as well)

Get firmware file

Install myhex2bin -> + Download to Downloads folder

For GTM32 Pro,you can download this version.

Yes Yes, William.
I have already installed such a version available for gtm32 pro B.

My problem is this version and 1.0.3, since the gtm32 pro b card, and most used in rostock, in my case my M201 came equipped with gtm32 Pro B, which in my view was forgotten in time, specifically for M201 .

All models GTM32 (M201) had several modifications

GT2560 (M201) Also had several updates,

Gtm32 Pro B (m201) was forgotten in time, which makes me very upset, because when I bought my M201, I had many positive expectations regarding the model.

Now I encounter several problems (unexpected pauses in printing, no possibility to print on SD card)

I hope one day I can solve all these problems, and make my M201 (gtm32 pro b) a machine that can print without problems.

William gain thank you very much for the attention and support.

Now I encounter several problems (unexpected pauses in printing, no possibility to print on SD card)

Hi,as to unexpected pauses in printing,could you take a video showing the details?
as to no printing on SD card,here are some tips for you to make troubleshooting.
1、Use Repetier Host to put files on SD-card and the G-codes have been also in root directory of SD-card.
2、Check the connection between the SD card and the main board and check if the welding condition of the SD card slot and LCD panel is defective.You can post some pictures about it.
3、Choose some new SD Cards which are in better quality, and try different sizes or formats ;
The USH-1 and Class10 SD Cards are not supported by Printer.
4、Reinstall the FTDI drivers.
Please feel freely to let me know your lastest situation.
