I have the Replicape A4A model and am unable to get the steppers to move. I know the wiring is correct because it works fine with machinekit.
It says in the redeem log it is being “INFO Found Replicape rev. 00B3”.
Is this the problem? I have gotten the steppers to hum abit but no more even with messing with the different configurations and microsteps/current.

I also tried the quad extruder setup because I believed the A4A was used but also didnt work.

Any help appreciated.

Yes, the EEPROM has been overwritten when you flashed with Kamikaze. Just update the EEPROM with A4 blob and reboot!

I forgot to mention that I tried updating EEPROM and also updating redeem to 1.2.2. Just to make sure I tried updating EEPROM again as per debian instructions on Replicape A4A page. Still loading as 00B3 on redeem log.
Any other notable differences in setting up a model A4A from revB?

Is there a line I can comment out to halt the use of the B3 EEPROM or manually switch to the A4A?

See these instructions,

but exchange for A4A

I tried with:
wget https://bitbucket.org/intelligentagent/replicape/src/bf08295bbb5e98ce6bff60097fe9b78d96002654/eeprom/Replicape_00A4.eeprom

cat Replicape_00B3.eeprom > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/at24/2-0054/at24-1/nvmem

Did not work.
I also tried editing /boot/uEnv.txt to include A4A but also did not work.

The A4A model does not seem to be tested with Debian to be reliable. I will go back to Angrstrom image for now.

*cat Replicape_00A4.eeprom > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/at24/2-0054/at24-1/nvmem
