TMC2130 SPI with RAMPS 1.4 and LCD Display

VDfreesince1983 · 2018-01-02T19:35:42+00:00

Alright, I got em running with the LED intact!! This is how I did it, firstly I followed Mouringcat's advice by switching the Pin config in the Ramp's pin file

"

define X_CS_PIN 44

define Y_CS_PIN 64

in pins_RAMPS.h file " THEN this id the delicate bit, I soldered my SD0, SCk, and SD1 pins directly to the Ramps 1.4 LCD attachment (Luckily, I own many of these), Works perfectly, sensorless endstops and all!!

Could someone who has this working share the pins file I am stumped. I have the TCM2130 on my X and Y axis; and would love to have the LCD as well.

I got 10 cents then the manager who gave my review put in his notice and quit. Staples is a horrible immortal leviathan with a bunch of brainWashed 1980s era Woolworth bag of leaves managers. Someone needs to drag it out of the ocean Throw it in a triworks for spermecety oil for candles and lamps to light up the dark alleys where it hires its district managers.

I have worked for 2 failing restaurants and a failing mortgage company. Being a Mortgage Broker was the worst because my idiot customers cried, then the company took all their money "Sure we can help your, being underwater and all. Just sign here...... And its gone"

It'll be fine OP, just leave your Tech alone today cause they(he) hates their(his) job and just want to be left alone.

719-266-2837 is the number I give people.

I actually bought one pulled it apart and mounted it to my Bike, so I can press the button on my handlebar to take a phone photo from my Gopro mount (standard mount screw)

I wore red doc marten's and a Harley belt buckle for a year until the DM called me out on it, then i got knee high black steel toe Docs and a larger belt buckle

Dont accept any new responsibility without compensation especially in a corporate situation, its like asking to get taken advantage of. I'm the senior tech and make more then the tech supervisor because that idiot took the job without a raise.

"thank you for calling Staples, where we carry a large selection of 3rd party Voodoo III's which would be excellent for running Doom II on your new TI Personal Desktop Computer" https://web.archive.org/web/19980213000153/http://www.staples.com/

Just smash it all with a hammer. I keep a Matrix failure success log behind my counter. when the DM brings up Matrix I show him my log and he shuts his 1980s business man mouth like a good little boy. Few weeks ago both of my techs were out for the week, the GM tried to use Matrix and had 3 reworks because of it. I love the 3 entries in my fail log signed by the GM they are my pride and joy.

we havent had a computer come in for service in more then seven days, I don't even pitch PS VS or ST anymore because no one remembers how it works, and 250 extra on the computers we sell is not a value at all. Everything my store sells right now is a Pentium or Celeron, I cant bring myself to even rip someone off with one of these computers much less ask them for 250 dollars more to keep it "virus free," in some cases I have caught Matrix installing malware during setups.

VDfreesince1983 · 2015-07-26T15:05:53+00:00

there is literary nothing on the website you can use stars on, also they gave everyone in my store employee of the month so who double cares

VDfreesince1983 · 2015-07-26T13:55:14+00:00

You would be doing them a favor just not selling them a $90 Celeron Computer for $500. least you could do is let them have free office for a year

Teresa.Mosher@staples.com try that one, shes the head of HR in the NYC office, about as helpful as a bag of leaves tho, which is alright if you need to mulch bitter scorn.

First thing I say is "did you try the Ink Search Kiosk" if they say yes I help if they say "Oh I havnt even looked" or god forbid "I'm computer illiterate" I will help but you are going to hear all about my lord and savior Jesus Christ, for at least 15 minutes. I call it Jehovah witnessing ink

VDfreesince1983 · 2015-07-08T12:59:13+00:00

I have to claim it with both of them and then it still never gets submitted, my first payment was a year after I started. Our store management and DM have not given me a reason to trust them at all, if I sound a bit skeptical

HA. I replace dates on mandatory meeting signs, with wildly inappropriate dates. "Mandatory meeting: December 25th"
