2.2 – Initial Function Tests
Before the calibration process can begin, we need to perform a test of the end-stop switches to
make sure that they're functioning correctly. In order to perform this test, you'll need to be able to
directly "talk" to the Rostock MAX v2. Click on the Options button as indicated below.
Click on the SHOW TERMINAL button. This
will open up the terminal screen that we need to use to
directly communicate with the printer. When the
terminal window first opens, you'll see it displaying
information that's coming from the printer. This data is
being processed by MatterControl to update the
temperature displays, etc. The terminal is easier to work with if we turn that information off. To do so,
click on the Filter Output check-box as shown below.
Now we can send the commands necessary to test the end stop switches. It's important that they
operate properly as they're used by the printer to determine the "home" position for the three towers.
Ensure that the end-stop adjustment screws are not in contact with the switches and then enter
"M119" into the terminal input box and press the ENTER key.
The M119 command instructs the RAMBo board to return the current state of the three end stop
switches.
