connect_sevenswitch_to_ramps [2016/05/29 15:55] – [Firmware Modification] Note D11 being unavailable for PWM on some/most firmwares. Traumflugconnect_sevenswitch_to_ramps [2023/10/30 23:53] (current) – external edit (unknown user)

 One of the oddities of the RepRap community is the heated bed circuitry on the very popular RAMPS controller. It's undersized for modern beds and this is known for years. Even a [[http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS_1.4#RAMPS_1.4.2|claim of a fix]] exists, but such fixes aren't recognized by cheapo-china, where everybody buys, so the undersized variants are found about everywhere. One of the oddities of the RepRap community is the heated bed circuitry on the very popular RAMPS controller.

-Anyways. One of the solutions to work around this situation is to use a [[SevenSwitch]] to do the hard work. Here we show how to connect this switch to a RAMPS and how to tweak the popular firmwares to work with the new switch instead of the old one.+Anyways.

 Some vendors solder in pins there already, others don't. If there are none, you have to do this yourself. Standard 0.1" spaced pins are fine. Another option is to solder the signal wire directly into the board. Some vendors solder in pins there already, others don't. If there are none, you have to do this yourself.
