How to switch motor outputs and use E1 as X, in Marlin firmware?
I broke up my electronics and now the output for X is not working. The stepper is OK.
There is any simple solution to remap the output pins? I want the E1 output to act as the X output.
When using Marlin firmware you could easily change the pin layout of the extra extruder (E1) with the broken X stepper pins by changing the pins_RAMPS.h file.
Download the firmware and open the firmware project in Arduino IDE. Navigate to the "Steppers" section of the pins_RAMPS.h file and replace:
#define X_STEP_PIN 54
#define X_DIR_PIN 55
#define X_ENABLE_PIN 38
#define X_CS_PIN 53for:
#define X_STEP_PIN 36
#define X_DIR_PIN 34
#define X_ENABLE_PIN 30
#define X_CS_PIN 44and also change:
#define E1_STEP_PIN 36
#define E1_DIR_PIN 34
#define E1_ENABLE_PIN 30
#define E1_CS_PIN 44to:
#define E1_STEP_PIN 54
#define E1_DIR_PIN 55
#define E1_ENABLE_PIN 38
#define E1_CS_PIN 53When the file is changed an saved, build and upload code to your board and plug the connector of the X stepper into the E1 header.
you can find pin.h in marlin directory and in pin.h file change # define pinout of z motor and extruder motor
Exactly! I found thease in pinsRAMPS.h thx for help!
This answer is very terse, and might not include enough details for some users. Perhaps you could improve it by including a bit more detail on what needs to be changed exactly?
