Errrr no... You download either only the hex file from that repository or use the URL of that file. I didn't try that by the URL myself so no guarantee...
So I pasted this URL in the address bar and it reported the Firmware Flash was successful: https://github.com/joshuarowley42/B.../BigBox-Pro-Marlin/blob/master/Marlin.cpp.hex Is there something I can look for or try to see if in fact the firmware was properly flashed? This was reported in the Terminal window:
At the very top of the terminal when you connect must be a M110 command... There is a time stamp... That time stamp must be the same like in the Default_Version.h. Rebeber that after a firmware flash you gotta level the bed. On Dual this is essential because the default values are loaded...
WOW! How would the firmware upgrade help this 1st layer lay down like this? This has to be the best 1st layer my BigBox has laid down on the heated bed!
Is there a settings guide somewhere? I would like to turn in mesh leveling for my pro, but I do not know where and what to change to make that happen.
Not really. All documented in the files. Look in Configuration.h I am setting up a fork RC4 for Pro but not yet finished...
I get the following errors when I compile: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\U8glib\utility\u8g_rot.c:48:1: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] u8g_dev_t u8g_dev_rot = { u8g_dev_rot_dummy_fn, NULL, NULL }; ^ C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\U8glib\utility\u8g_rot.c:48:1: warning: (near initialization for 'u8g_dev_rot.dev_fn') [enabled by default] Is this OK or am I missing something? I added the U8glib.h file so my include sections looks like this: #include "Configuration.h" #include "pins.h" #include <U8glib.h> When I compile it says "Done Compiling" oddly enough, if I compile it a second time, the errors go away. I do not want to brick my printer so any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, is there any way to download the software that is already on the printer and just make modifications to it?
Thanks Mike. I just uploaded the new version with the mesh changes and it appears to have taken the changes. Thanks again
Has anyone given the latest Marlin 1.1.0-RC4 release a go? https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases/tag/1.1.0-RC4
@Mike Oda Check out the last post http://forum.e3d-online.com/index.php?threads/which-firmware-to-update-to.960/
@PsyVision Thanks for this. Just been through the full setup (with Josh's RC3) and connected to BB without yet flashing (plan to go directly to Alex's RC5). Feedback on line from original instructions "Copy the U8glib folder from Arduino_1.0.x\libraries\ and Arduino_1.6.x to the libraries folder in the location we installed Arduino IDE" Did copy U8glib folder from Arduino_1.0.x\libraries\ Note there is no U8glib folder in Arduino_1.6.x . Does this matter? In any case the Arduino IDE then announced it had an update for U8glib and I allowed it.
No but if you use Arduino and direct USB connection there is no difference. You need no drivers. Works out of the box. On a Mac you neither need putty. Just open a "terminal" and put "ssh pi@octopi" in there.
@PsyVision have you any thoughts on the USB driver for Win10? I am trying to update the firmware while waiting for parts to complete my build and have downloaded the revision by @Alex9779 and successfully compiled it through Arduino IDE; I also downloaded the driver you pointed to as Win10 did not see the board but it still does not see it or connect. I have switched to USB power on Rumba and power is confirmed but the IDE does not show a COM port. I am assuming it's a driver issue but have I missed anything? It used to work on Win8.1.
