M4 & M5 Pins Not Working

The M4 & M5 driver pins are not working properly on the board, therefore preventing the motors from operating. When the motors are switched into the M1, M2, and M3 positions for testing, they do work. I have combed through the config file multiple times now and cannot see anything out of place. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m hoping there is something which I have overlooked and that the board is not bad. Thanks!

Hey !

Can we see your configuration file ?

Cheers !

Bonjour,
Si je puis me permettre;
extruder .hotend.steps-per-mm 2500? cela n’est il pas trop élevé,
epsilon-current sans valeur! epsilon-current 1.5 exemple

Could you please explain exactly what the symptoms are ? Maybe a video ?

There is nothing we can really show in a video but here are all of the details. In addition to the extruder motors not working (although as of now with our most recent code, below, we have the E1 motor working but E0 motor still does not work), neither of the heaters are working. When setting the temperature, the T0 temperature will register in Pronterface that the temperature has been set but the heaters will not heat and when we set the temperature for T1 nothing happens. I am not sure what #temperatureswitch.hotend.enable is and if it should be uncommented? The other motors (alpha, beta, gamma), endstops, and thermistors are all working okay. Also, not sure if it matters, but we have a Prusa type printer. Thank You!

Ignore the temperaturecontrol/heaters and temperatureswitch for the moment.

It’s best to work on a single problem at a time.

So, you have one stepper motor driver ( M4 ) that works, but not the other ( M5 ) correct ?

Correct, we have one stepper motor driver that works except M5 is the working one and M4 is the one not working.

Does the M4 stepper motor offer resistance the same ways the others do, or does it turn freely ?

They are geared motors so I cannot really tell but I switched the motor from M4 with the motor on M5 and the same thing happens. Same results, M4 does not work (previously the M5 motor) and the M5 worked (previously the M4 motor).

I need to know if they turn freely or not, can you use a non-geared stepper on M4 ?

When a non-geared stepper motor is plugged into M4 it did move freely with no resistance when everything was plugged in.

And that is in a situation where the other motors did not move freely, correct ?

Can you email your configuration file to wolf.arthur@gmail.com ?

Also, what does the version or @version command return ?

Just sent you the configuration file and that command returned with Build version: edge-580cad4, Build date: Jan 15 2015 04:05:25, MCU: LPC1769, System Clock: 120MHz

These two lines : 

extruder.hotend.dir_pin                         .22              # Pin for extruder dir signal
extruder.hotend.en_pin                          .21              # Pin for extruder enable signal

Are non-sense to Smoothie so it’s normal it doesn’t work.

Could you please delete your configuration file, download a new one from here : http://smoothieware.org/configuring-smoothie and start configuring again, with the minimal amount of edits, then check if it works ?

Thanks !

I tried the new config file with the no changes and even commenting those two lines out and it still does not work.
