Hi folks,
I bought a TevoUp Tarantula Pro. * Easy quick assembly. Stock firmware. It wouldn't home properly - X Axis travels all the way to the right seeking the endstop, but endstop is mounted to the left. Y Axis jerks then promptly stops, out in the middle of the build area. Oddly, the X and Y axis both travel just fine, in the correct directions, when manually incrementing.
Thought I would start by flashing a new Marlin. After a lengthy alternate battle with VSCode/PlatformIO/AutoBuildMarlin and then Arduino IDE, fixed error after error until hitting a wall. Finally just loaded a pre-compiled bin from the MKS Github successfully, only to promptly realize it didn't have the proper controller selected (doh!) leaving me with a black screen after the upload. The controller is a MKS MINI12864 V3.
A major part of my compiling issues stemmed from the fact that TEVOUP replaced the older Tarantula Pro motherboard with a MKS Robin E3D v1.1, and TMC2208 steppers. These are compatible with Marlin, and yet... I don't know if it was pin defines or something else, but I was getting out of my depth on the errors (see attached).
So:
1. Does anyone happen to have a working Marlin configuration for the TEVOUP Tarantula Pro that they'd be willing to share?
2. Does anyone have any ideas regarding solving the erratic homing axis behaviors? **
Thank you. First time poster, so if I've showed any apparently blatant disregard for wiki policies please let me know.
Firmware that I couldn't compile was based on Marlin-2.1.2.2, with the attached configuration files, custom bootscreen, and modified pins.h.
*WHY I picked a TTP over anything else is a longer story, involving a previous high-quality experience with TEVO, the forerunner to the current TEVOUP. I have reached out to TEVOUP's support, but have good reason to expect little from them now. I will try to make a return if necessary, but I'm a problem-solver and would rather work this out if reasonable.
**I think getting the firmware fixed is a good start. However, NONE of the several reviews/topics I have found regarding the TTP have mentioned the homing issues, leading me to suspect that it may be more of a hardware issue (reversed motor wiring, faulty endstop, etc.)
