Followed "First Run Grbl Settings" - Still in Alarm state

[jerseyguy1996]

Trying every iteration I can think of here and I can't seem to get out of an Alarm state. This is using the Teensy4.1 with nothing wired up to it yet. I inverted control and limit signals. I'm actually not sure why I needed to do that because I also don't have hard or soft limits enabled and DEFAULT_CHECK_LIMITS_AT_INIT is commented out. Below is status and current config. Any help is greatly appreciated!

<Alarm|MPos:0.000,0.000,0.000|Bf:255,1023|FS:0,0|Pn:R|Ov:100,100,100> ok

Try with $14=65 and $10=1535, the last one will add the alarm number to the status report.

[jerseyguy1996]

This was the result of both of those:
(Edit: Not sure why the carriage returns aren't working in the code block below)

ok $10=1535 ok ? <Alarm:0|MPos:0.000,0.000,0.000|Bf:255,1023|FS:0,0|Pn:R> ok $14=65 ok ? <Alarm:0|MPos:0.000,0.000,0.000|Bf:255,1023|FS:0,0|Pn:HS> ok $14=78 ok ? <Alarm:0|MPos:0.000,0.000,0.000|Bf:255,1023|FS:0,0|Pn:R> ok

Did you try $14=78 as suggested in the Wiki entry? Also, are you using ioSender? Very helpful in showing what the inputs are doing.

This probably won't give you much additional insight but for others that want to use a bare Teensy this blog may be helpful.

[jerseyguy1996]

Yes I tried that (see my reply to terjeio above). I'm using Lightburn but it's just in the console window.

[terjeio]

What is the output of $I?
Are you compiling yourself or do you use precompiled firmware?

[jerseyguy1996]

I'm compiling myself. This is the result of $I:

ok $I [VER:1.1f(IMXRT1062).20201103:] [OPT:VNMSL,1023,1024,3,0] Target buffer size found [NEWOPT:*FLASH,TC] [DRIVER VERSION:201014] [DRIVER OPTIONS:USB.2] ok

[phil-barrett]

Hmmm, just tried lightburn with a naked teensy. Set $14=78 outside of lightburn as it does not recognize the enhanced settings of grblHAL. [edit: I was wrong, lightburn does allow $14=78 in the Console, not sure why I got an error earlier] Here is a screen shot of it running a simple job:

[jerseyguy1996]

We crossed in the mail. Hmmm, I am able to send $32=1 in the Console and it seems to stick ($$ shows it set to 0). I'm using the main branch. I can switch $32 back and forth. Do you have eeprom enabled?

Shouldn't $$ respond with $32=1 after setting it? Since it's just a bare board right now, I don't have any external eeprom attached. I was under the impression that the Teensy4.1 reserved a portion of flash to store settings that are expected to persist. Looks like the EEPROM_ENABLE in my_machine.h was for external eeprom.

[jerseyguy1996]

oops @terjeio looks like we crossed our posts. I'll switch back to the master branch

[phil-barrett]

eeprom should not be enabled for a naked teensy. not sure if that is the regression terje was referring to.

[jerseyguy1996]

Okay back on the Master branch and we are working again! Thanks again for all of your help! I'll keep enabling things and let you know how it goes:-)

[terjeio]

eeprom should not be enabled for a naked teensy. not sure if that is the regression terje was referring to.

Nope - the regression was bad code on my part.

Test branch has now been updated with a fix.

Do you guys have a foundation or paypal that I can kick some bucks your way to do my part in helping to support your work?

I do not have any set up yet - don't know if the local tax man will take an interest in that. What would please me if users could donate time to help out with testing the test brach - to be renamed to "Edge" soon.

[Shiraj123]

follow me I'll follow back

[jerseyguy1996]

@terjeio @phil-barrett just to close the loop on this, I wired the Teensy up to the K40 today and it is working like a charm :-). Ran some large raster images through it that used to choke up the Atmega328 running classic GRBL and even at 250mm/s it wasn't slowing down at all in the complex parts. I am very happy and thank you for putting in so much time and effort into creating such an outstanding piece of work! I'm having one spurious issue that keeps popping up but I'll start a new discussion as it doesn't relate to this issue.
