Topic: Guide for using printrboard rev f with solidoodle
This is a guide for anyone wanting to replace their old or broken solidoodle board with the newest printrboard(Rev F currently)
1. install the printrboard to your machine and connect all the wires except for the z endstop connector.
2. The Z endstop needs to be re-wired to work with the rev f board. Just follow the link below on how to modify it.

3. Reconnect the endstop to the board.
4. go to http://www.soliwiki.com/Updating_Solidoodle_Firmware and go to the printrboard instructions section.
5. Download everything except for the BootloaderHID
6. Follow the rest of the instruction to step 16 before you compile.
7. You will have to make two more change for the firmware to work with the rev f board.
8. Open the tab pins.h. It wont be visible in the row of tabs but if you press the downward facing arrow on the right it will be in there.
9. Go to the section beginning with "#if MOTHERBOARD == 8 || MOTHERBOARD == 81". It was on line no 1642 for me.
10. Go down a small bit until you see this part
11. On the line "#define Y_STOP_PIN 8" change 8 to 12
12. Save and go back to the configuration.h tab
13. Scroll down to the mechanical settings section (Starts at line no 329 for me)
14. scroll to the part with endstop inverting
15. Change the "Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING" line to true
16. Click compile and you should get no errors.
17. While holding shift click verifly/compile.
18. This has created a temporary hex file. To get this file go to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp
19. The hex file will be in a folder called build followed by a series of numbers.tmp
20. Within this folder will be the marlin.pde.hex file you will need. Copy this file to your desktop.
21. Save the arduino files and close them.
22. Time to upload the hex file to the printrboard using FLIP. To upload using FLIP copy printrbots guide on re-flashing linked below
https://printrbot.dozuki.com/Guide/How+ … 78?lang=en
When It says to download a hex file don't as you will be using the "marlin.pde.hex" that you have already.
You should now have uploaded the firmware succesfully and the printer should be behaving like it should.
If you have any trouble with the guide let me know below or send me a PM.
