Hi I'm trying to update my controller to recognise an emergence stop switch that I have just installed. Trying to update the firmware via the Wizards and Tools menu. The using the Custom GRBL Flashing tool, I try and flash with the Door Interlock normally Closed. Then it disconnects and starts flashing ...however it fails, with a xFLASH Failedx message. See the attached screenshot. Can anyone help ?
Make sure you Autoreset jumper is in place docs:blackbox:jumper-autoreset [OpenBuilds Documentation] If not, borrow one from elsewhere on the board for the flashing
I tried this today and indeed there is no jumper on the two pins for autoreset. So I pulled one off one of the other jumpers poles and put it on the autoreset. Then went to do the changes. However it looks like the update on the software I got yesterday has removed this option to change the behaviour of the door open/closed ?? I guess I could go back to an older version of the control software and try again. The attached screenshot shows the options I am getting now....
Yes it was removed as precompiled option (old versions are on github.com) as you really should look into Grbl's config.h and properly configure the door behaviour YOU desire. One size fits all doesn't work well. See the comments in the source code of config.h. Parking motion etc are highly configurable - worth doing right
