We just assembled the Afinibot A3 and are getting no signal from the LCD after assembly. We have double and triple checked all connections per instructions and seems OK. Do we need to update the firmware to be able to do anything or should the Repetier software connect to the printer?We are absolutely clueless about what to do at this point after assembly. We would like to begin using the printer but we don’t know what to do. We have looked for some type of help guide but have no found anything concrete to lay it out.1) Should the LCD automatically start displaying something?2) Do we need to update the firmware to make something work?3) How do we connect the Afinibot to Mac OS X (El Capitan)? We have attempted this but seem to get no connection to the printer.We need some serious help in getting this done. Any help would be appreciated since we don’t know what to do at this point.
Can you post some pictures of both the LCD and Controller side of the wiring so we can have a look ?
Usually, the Afinibot A3 should not need any firmware update, it is flashed from the factory. One thing you might try is to remove de SD card before powering up and see if the LCD is working.
1 - It should display on startup
2 - No need to do that unless the manufacturer didn’t do it at the factory
3 - Afinibot use the Repetier software that can be dowloaded for MAC HERE
