Jan 29th 2016 For those who own the Zonestar P802M, I have uploaded an unofficial thread on the REPRAp forum where you can find more information and help. Check out http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?406,587131. Mar 2nd 2017 After using this setup for a year, I switched to a photoelectric sensor without changing firmware settings. Simply replacing hardware made it work flawlessly! However, I realize now that using a voltage divider wasn't necessary since the signal pin looks for short - ground connections instead. To achieve this, power your sensor directly from the same power supply used by your controller board. Then connect its signal wire to your controller's S-pin and voilà! Only one cable is needed for a seamless experience. Jan 29th 2017 I was facing Marlin firmware issues with some users but fortunately Repetier Host, along with its built-in Slic3r software, solved my problems easily. If you too encounter such trouble, add the start code and end code under printer settings in Slic3r within Repetier Host to troubleshoot quickly. Jan 20th 2016 To assist all of those using Zonestar P802M printers on Marlin firmware (Version V1.0), this post details the essential modifications needed for ABL - Automatic Bed Leveling. By utilizing the inductive sensor attached securely, it makes level detection more accurate. Aug 14th 2023 My printer configuration details: PC Host- Repetier Host; 3D Software - Blender and I'm also utilizing Zonestar V3b's original Melzi board as well as firmware Repetier V0.91 (note - ABL isn't a function within the current settings, thus requiring upgrade). The method below will allow you to implement a single-point sensor using the Tom Sanladerer voltage divider trick with 10K and 4.7k resistors. To get the setup going: connect Prove+, Prove-, and ProveSig (Black wire) directly from the same source supply as your control board and it should clear all previous issues out. After a while I got my machine finally set up so you won't have to go through these troubles. Please refer to Tom Sanladerer's video tutorials where everything can be understood with an accurate, precise description on this one!
