Partially Solved Connected to Arduino, but printer not responding to commands

Howdy everyone!

I recently changed the arduino shield on my R1+ and edited the firmware accordingly, but now none of the motors respond to commands. Mattercontrol communicates with the arduino fine, but nothing happens when I try to have it do anything. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

 

Yes, I changed the shield to RAMPS 1.4 to go dual extrusion. I uploaded the Robo3d R1+ firmware and modified the configuration.h motherboard value to 34 to reflect the new shield. I've got a fan extender as well and modified the pins.h to have the fan controlled on pin 6. My wiring isn't very pretty, but everything that was plugged into the original shield is plugged into the new on(minus LED lights) and showing properly connected on the multimeter. I'll try and get some pictures up tomorrow.

 

I'll reflash the stock firmware tomorrow and post back with results. Thanks!

 

Okie dokes, so I flashed the stock firmware successfully, but the problem persists. What do you recommend next?

 

My pictures are too large for the forum, so I'm linking them on imgur.

That's what I was afraid of... I'll order a new one and give it a whirl. Should I close this topic out or wait until I get the new board in? Also, am I able to edit my post after closure to link to the new topic should I need to create one for continuity?

Thanks again for your help!

 

Got the new board, hooked it up, same result. The new board is advertised as tested so it's got to be something else.

 

What works: All temperature sensors, Arduino, Heating bed(sort of? Still doesn't turn off), power supply

What doesn't: All steppers, All extruder heaters, All fans besides PSU fan and RAMPS board cooling fan.

I cannot preheat extruders, the bed will heat past any set preheat temperature, attempting to move the printhead around with directional commands does nothing, but attempting to extrude, either direction, will throw an error that cold extrusion is prevented(at least that bit works). Looking at the terminal output, the arduino is acknowledging all commands.

I've tried compiling and uploading both stock firmware and adjusting firmware to support dual extrusion. There's no problem connecting to the arduino and it's responsive to machine code(returns 'ok' codes), it just doesn't do anything.

I don't believe there are any issues with the RAMPS boards, as both old and new exhibit the same behavior.

Unless there is some sort of issue with the arduino to where it can still communicate with the PC and sensors, but unable to send signals to RAMPS, the issue has to be with firmware. I'm not thinking it's a pinout issue, as I don't see how I could have set the heating elements wrong by simply switching the motherboard value from 33 to 34. I've messaged the user who created this guide to get a copy of their firmware, but haven't heard anything from them yet.

Will the steppers be damaged if I reverse the pins and power it on? I was very careful to change everything over to the new board exactly as it was on the old, but I'm out of ideas.
