LDO Leviathan Control Board Information

Flickering can be a issue when your cycle_time of your LED's , extruder a somehow interfere with each other

Check which item either hotend or bed see causes you flickering with your LEDs by turning you LED's on, then turn on your hotend,

if one or the other flickers add "cycle_time: 0.01" to the LED and "pwm_cycle_time: 0.01" to the extruder causing the flickering

If its your bed it's another similar config, I can't recall off the top of my head but that would be similar to pwm_cycle_time or just cycle_time

Hey that fixed it! Thank you.

If anyone is interested, the Z motor brakes work well. There's a Nero3D video about them here. Here's my brakes.cfg file:

[output_pin brake_pin]
pin: PF9
value: 0
shutdown_value: 0

[delayed_gcode my_delayed_gcode]
gcode:
SET_PIN PIN=brake_pin VALUE=1
set_stepper_enable stepper=stepper_z1 enable=1
set_stepper_enable stepper=stepper_z2 enable=1
initial_duration: 0.01

#optional if you want to keep motors always on when powered up
#[idle_timeout]
#gcode:

[gcode_macro M18]
rename_existing: M18000
gcode:
M18000
SET_PIN PIN=brake_pin VALUE=0

[gcode_macro M84]
rename_existing: M84000
gcode:
M84000
SET_PIN PIN=brake_pin VALUE=0

[gcode_macro G28]
rename_existing: G28000
gcode:
SET_PIN PIN=brake_pin VALUE=1
G28000

Well, I rebuilt my printer with the leviathan and canbus to the tool head. Everything is working as it should. Problem I'm having is within a minute of printing, I get the dreaded "MCU shutdown timer too close." Also, LDO claims that the dedicated led strip light port for your case lighting is "flicker free". It flickers worse than when driven by the octopus 1.1. That's a fail. So far I'm not very happy with this product. View attachment 4116View attachment 4117

Klipper on the toolhead is out of date...maybe

With the less than optimal documentation for the product, can you confirm which stepper port both the A and B motor plug into please? A motor = HV-Stepper-0, B motor = HV-Stepper-1 ? Or the other way round? (The Doco mentions "Stepper X" and "Stepper Y")

Thanks.
