What information do you think is missing from the Smoothie wiki ?

What information do you think is missing from the Smoothie wiki ? What should we expand on ? What should be made clearer ?
Taking a minute to leave us a comment can help us make it more helpful to a lot of users.
Thanks !

How to wire ? :wink:

@Maxime_Favre aha :slight_smile: It’s not finished yet, apparently :slight_smile:
For those who don’t know about it, he’s doing this : http://smoothieware.org/how-to-wire it’s very cool.

@Arthur_Wolf
More precise informations about the spare pins. What can they do and what not. (adc i. e.)

+Sven http://smoothieware.org/lpc1769-pin-usage has that information, and http://smoothieware.org/pinout points at some of the capabilities too.
What do you think is missing and/or where do you think this information should be linked from ?

Thanks but I know these already :wink:
But for me it’s a little bit confusing to be honest. I simply can’t find spare adc pins. So maybe there no or I’m just too blind :smiley:

In general I would say your documentation is already quite good. But I just started with the schmoothiware topic. So obviously I’m best reference here if you ask “what could be better”

@Sven_Eric_Nielsen This page : http://smoothieware.org/lpc1769-pin-usage has a list of all 8 ADC pins. And the pinout diagram helps you find where they are located. Am I missing something ?
If I understand what’s missing I can add it :slight_smile:

Thanks for the comment anyway.

So as far as I understand it p0.2, p0.3, p1.30 and p1.31 are free adc pins. At least if I don’t want to program the bootloader?

But anyway, I need some more time to work with the whole topic a bit more. Too many ideas and a lot of possibilities are a quite time consuming combination :smiley:

@Sven_Eric_Nielsen Yes that is correct. You don’t need to change the bootloader, Smoothie configures the ADC pins on the fly as requested.
Anything else you need or think is missing just say !

At least this I know for sure, I’ll be back :smiley:

For me it would need some guide for dummies on Grid Compensation for cartesian printers i just cant get it to work

@Clint Can you open a topic on the forum or the mailing lists about your problem ? Then we can work on getting it to work with you ( and the rest of the community ), and once we have your solution, we can use it to make the wiki better. How does that sound ?

@Arthur_Wolf It would be nice to have a comprehensive list of all the config-override commands that can be issued. It gets a bit tiresome finding each command on a separate documentation page. Not critical, but it would be helpful to have.

@Zane_Baird They are at http://smoothieware.org/supported-g-codes, do you think they need their own documentation page ?

@Arthur_Wolf I’ve noticed a couple missing from there but the only one I can see missing now (via the M503 command) is M143. Not sure if i’ve somehow cached a depricated page, but if I come across another that isn’t included on that page I’ll make a note of it. Also, 374.1 and 375.1 aren’t on that page, but I suspect there is reason behind that

I could sure use some information on connecting and configuring a BL Touch. Or a simple statement that it’s not supported.

@Duane_Miles It’s definitely supported, we put quite a lot of work with the BLtouch team into that.
What do you feel is missing in http://smoothieware.org/zprobe#bltouch-or-servo-retractable-touch-probe ? Tell me and I’ll add it.

+Arthur Wolf, thank you for that information. I spent quite a bit of time searching, but had been unable to find it. I will follow the instructions, and report back if I have any further issues.

@Duane_Miles The wiki has a search function, i think it would have worked in this case.

So I can’t tell from the information provided;
Does the BL Touch also serve as the Z endstop? I see the BL Touch is connected to z-min, but you do not show the endstop portion of the configuration.
When I send a M280 S3.0, the pin drops, but when I follow it with a G31, I get “probe is not triggered”.

Thanks for the help!
