Help | Trouble writing config file

Hello,

I have been using the smoothieboard for a few months now, mostly when I have free time (which is rare). Unfortunately I have not been able to make a config file that works. My first config file is freezing my printer randomly, that file was taken from the GitHub page as a template then edited to my specifications. My second config file was rewritten from the template and had no luck there. The third config file was written from scratch and that one always turns on one of the mosfets! This is frustrating!

I am hoping for somebody to guide me through or just write it for me! I have read through the 3D Printer Guide, the 3D Printer Delta Guide, and all the function descriptions on the Smoothieware website.

Here is my current config file…

First of everything you should check wich program open your config.file, example:Notepad++ is the worse!!! DO NOT USE IT!!!
Try Notepad, and always unmount the SD-card after…

Thanks for the advise, I don’t use Notepad++ and yes I un-mount the card after use.

Have you tried a different SD card?

Hello,

So far I have tried a new SD card with the config files written from scratch, I have not done a test print to see if it freezes because those config files are turning on mosfets for no reason, I should try the old config file that was on the old SD card to see if it freezes or not with the new SD card.

It should be some config option. Have you solved it?

No not yet, have not had a chance lately to play around with it.

Turns out the SD Card was giving me trouble. Not sure if it’s because it had lots of files on it or just that the SD Card itself couldn’t keep up (This was the SD Card that came with my Smoothieboard). I went out and bought a Sandisk Ultra Class 10 SD Card. Copied my original config file right over and it works!

If anybody is interested, I can post my config file for reference.

Happy Printing!
