      Hello,

      First of all, considering everything I’ve experienced since I started this project, I can’t even begin to imagine what you’ve been through. I want to express my deepest gratitude—thank you so much for everything, we’re truly lucky to have you.

      Now, regarding my issue: I’m having problems with the gripper and the opto switches. When I enter Asgard, I can’t control the gripper. While the servo normally works with the Mega, it doesn’t generate PWM after I connect the control board. In PuTTY, the M3 command returns “ok”, but the motor doesn’t turn. The opto switches also don’t receive any signal. There are also issues with temperature detection, and the system doesn’t stop at the final point. When we press the home button, the application gives an alarm.

      I would be very grateful if you could help us.

      With love and respect,
      Hasan KANBER

        Hello Hasan!

        First of all, thank you very much for your words and sorry for the delay in answering!

        Let’s go in parts to try to solve the problems you are experiencing, and for that I need you to give me a little more information:

        – For the electronics, are you using ThorPCB and an Arduino Mega?
        If yes:
        – Have you jumpered the ThorPCB connector that would normally go to pin 41 of the Arduino Mega to pin 7 instead as the diagram in the electronics documentation indicates?
        – Have you flashed the GRBL firmware modified to work with Thor?
        – Have you configured the $$ parameters as explained in the firmware documentation?

        On the other hand:
        – What do you mean by the temperature detection system?
        – What alarm does the application give you when you press the home button?

        Let’s see if with more information we can solve the problem 😉
