After 3 days of fruitless attempts to get the optional Klipper screen installed on my SV06 Plus printer, I have managed to brick the main board.
While the new screen started up and ran fine, even connecting to my WiFi on the first attempt, I could never get it to communicate via the USB port back to the main board. I tried a bucket full of cables, even stealing my webcam cable to try it, and none worked.
Tried contacting Sovol via their email address and they did respond at first, but have since fallen radio silent when I asked for a main board replacement.
Figuring I had nothing to lose, I decided to try to flash all base components with the original version of the firmware that came on the machine, but nothing helped. I did this with the new Klipper screen and USB cable disconnected and the old original screen reinstalled on the printer.
Guess those endless re-installs of firmware did something and now it simple sits there not responding, the start up screen on “Sovol”.
This happened after I tried to re-flash the main board with the original firmware “SV06 Plus main board firmware 23th Feb 2023.bin”.
In any regard, looks like I will have to replace the main board.
Long story short, when or IF I get a replacement board, I have seen a copy of the “installation instructions” which are just as useful as any Sovol document (i.e., largely useless) and it requires you to measure the voltages of the X, Y, Z and E driver output of the replacement board without illustrating where you can find these test points.
Does anyone know where they are? At least they show the regulator adjustment pots for each axis, but give no clue as to where you measure the output.
Any help appreciated…
