The Debug Screen The Debug Screen is used to troubleshoot/test various aspects of the TF-1800 machine. The screen can be broken down into three sections. The Setup Commands on the left will make the machine perform an action. Status Request Commands will read off what the software believes to be the current setting, position or status of the different parts of the machine.
Before operation, check for any components on both the top and bottom of the PCB that may not fit in the TF-1800. Ensure the components are not going to crash into the heater head or camera arm as they move up/down and in/out.
Small Components The TF-1800 and TF-2800 are capable of working with very small components, as small as 1mm square. When working with components ranging from 5mm down to 1mm there are some additional steps required for accurate placement during installation procedures.
