The software is available for WIndows, Linux and Mac. Get your version of the Arduino IDE from. Don’t worry, it is easy and you won’t need special programming skills.

WHATS THE SIZE OF ARDUINO 1.8.5 SOFTWARE INSTALL
If you go to upload and get errors that look like this then either your baud rate is wrong, wrong board selected or you need to burn the boot loader:Īvrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00ĭust: Are you sure about the board in the configuration.First you need to get and install the development software. I never verified my backup just moved forward:
WHATS THE SIZE OF ARDUINO 1.8.5 SOFTWARE DRIVERS
I did backup my firmware which I used an install of Arduino 00XX that was previously installed and had the Sanguino drivers built in. This link talks about using AVR dude to backup the firmware but I am not sure how the port portion of the command is phrased on a mac. The information Dust posted replaces my link for downloading the drivers for Sanguino and putting them in the arduino/hardware folder.
WHATS THE SIZE OF ARDUINO 1.8.5 SOFTWARE UPDATE
Since my Gen6 was older and I would be wiling to bet yours is as well you will need to update the boot loader unless someone has done this which would most likely be the case if it is running 1.1.x. Yea the method I posted gets around the old boot loader generating errors when you attempt to upload firmware. (can be as simple as another ardunio board running AVRISP firmware)Įdited 2 time(s). A device that lets you put data on the chip without a bootloader. If you cant upload then you probably need it. Rotinaj13 recommends installing a new boot loader, this may or may not be needed. Then you can verify (which just complies but doesn't try to upload) Then load up marlin and make sure in configuration.h the motherboard line is "#define MOTHERBOARD SANGUINOLOLU_12" No this is just how you add Sanguino support to the Ardunio IDE (your chip is a Sanguino)įrom there you select the board Sanguino then select the processor 644p 16mhz (or 20. To make sure I got it right: This is the procedure to compile and then install the new firmware, right? Hopefully it also works this way on my Mac. Wow that sounds like it has saved me a lot of trouble.

004" that bed leveling wasn't able to correct.
WHATS THE SIZE OF ARDUINO 1.8.5 SOFTWARE MANUAL
Well time to move on to getting manual mesh bed leveling setup so I can compensate for the +/. So if this saves one person that frustration it is worth it. Sorry if this seems overly simplified but I was tired of searching the net for all of this info and second guessing myself on if this would work on a GEN6 board. The process takes about a minute or less.Īfter Arduino reports "Done", press the reset button on your GEN6 board.ĭisconnect the power from the Uno board, unplug the USB cable and disconnect ISP wiring. Under Programmer, choose "w Arduino as ISP".Īrduino will begin burning the bootloader. Set Processor to "Sanguino W/ ATmega644P or ATmega644PA (16 MHz)" (Obviously you will want to verify what chipset you have by looking at the print on the board and what numbers areĬlick Tools.

After double checking my wiring to make sure the only thing connected to the GEN6 was the Uno I burned the bootloader to the GEN6 by following the instructions below:Ĭlick Tools. [ Once everything was wired up I plugged the USB into the Uno and applied power to the Uno (the GEN6 will get it's power from the Uno). Once uploaded I powered both the GEN6 and the UNO off and wired the Uno to the GEN6's ISP pins as shown in the link below. On line 81 I uncommented #define USE_OLD_STYLE_WIRING and uploaded the sketch to my Uno. You need to connect the Uno to the PC and open the example sketch ArduinoISP (it is number 11). Since I do not have an ISP programmer I used an Arduino Uno R3 as an ISP. Once added you are ready to burn the bootloader from the Arduino IDE via the ISP method. [ Now the Arduino IDE 1.8.5 does not have native support for the Sanguino based boards, so you need to download the files for that board and put in the. I downloaded Arduino IDE 1.8.5 and installed it from:

Marlin 1.1.8 needs to be compiled in something newer than Arduino IDE 1.6.8. So as I am sure you have found out the GEN6 board has an older bootloader which is most likely from Arduino legacy days (00XX). Ok so I got over my fear of bricking the only controller for this printer and was finally able to get Marlin 1.1.8 on my GEN6 board.
