My diy Farmbot project in China

我也做了一个,3*6米的。也是这样做,不过有些结构件我改别的方法使用了

Great tip, thanks!

我在江苏也 DIY 了一个1.5版本的, 欢迎交流 :grinning:

Welcome chinacjw, I had to use Google translate to find out what you were saying, I think you said you are building a version 1.5 farmbot?

yes

@Stack @chinacjw 两位牛哥哥,我在上海,也准备做一台,我的微信号是 swordingliang5283.
请加一下我,向你们学习。

Does anyone have a schematic or guide how to use the MKS gen l 2.1 in a farmbot?
Is it possible to use a pi 3b+ and which farmbot os to use when using that with the mks board?

Yes. RPi3B+ has been officially supported since July 2019. Use rpi3 target.
I’ve never tried MKS Gen-L 2.1 hardware but try using Arduino/RAMPS firmware first.

Hi !

Thanks for answering! Do i have to look in the arduino firmware to change the pins i want to use with another board than ramps and mega? Or is it possible to change that in some other way?

Think i found it! Its the pins.h in the src catalouge right?

Another question…do you have to use steppers with encoder or is it possible to run regular steppers without using the encoder inputs?

You can disable encoders in your webapp and run with regular stepper motors.

Thanks!!! Will go without the servomotors to begin with!
Managed to flash the software through the pi with a mega and ramps now, so definatly my farmduino board i got is fried.

I even had flashing issues with the mega/ramps combination, years ago. Always managed to flash it manually by arduino ide but it took a lot of tries every time. Can’t remember exactly how it worked, but I remember that pressing the reset button in the right moment was the key. Doesn’t really mean that it has to be the same problem on your side, but that’s what I remember.

Will be really fun to make the MKS GenL 2.1 to work !
Still waiting for delivery though ;/

Is it possible in some way to use spi drivers like the 2130spi when using the MKS gen L 2.1 board?
I know that its not possible if going for genesis 1.2 right?
