Topic: Flashing DaVinci 1.0a FW 2.1.0

Question for the Community/Luc or mpoffo

I am relatively new to the 3d Printing world and recently I purchased a DaVinci 1.0a ser#3F10A with FW 2.1.0. I wanted to follow Luc or mpoffo advise and flash my printer using the Arduino Due 1.6.5. However the latest version of the Due is up to 1.6.8. Has anything changed as far as the two files in Luc's github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92 or anything else for that matter. The two files in particular are USBCore.ccp and Variant.ccp. Can someone verify if this is the case? or should I play it safe and download the 1.6.5 ver of the Due.

Thanks in Advance

Hector

I will let Luc comment on 1.6.8.  I think I have seen that a few people have done it.  As far as I know 1.5.8 or 1.6.5 are the best ones to use when going to Repetier on the DaVinci.  I have had no issues that I know of with 1.6.5 per Luc's previous guidance to me.

I would suggest deleting your duplicate threads you made by accident.  smile

Thanks for your response! I will wait for Luc to comment on 1.6.8 if not I will just proceed with 1.6.5. I will post back after I flash and tweek Repetier.

Re: Flashing DaVinci 1.0a FW 2.1.0

Currently the IDE is 1.6.8 and the DUE module 1.6.7, I am testing it for new release of FW based on 0.92.9
the current stable based on 0.92.3 is validated only with IDE 1.6.5 and Due 1.6.4 - as I do not have time to test/support all versions
But you are free to do what you want smile

Success! went ahead and flashed my brand new DaVinci 1.0a with Repetier .92. Next I need to level the bed and buy a wifi SD card to finish the project. Now the Repetier learning curve begins!

Re: Flashing DaVinci 1.0a FW 2.1.0

I flashed repetier .92 to my davinci 1.0a printer and have success flashing it but then its all downhill.  I have followed every guide and tutorials and videos all over the internet as far and the printer settings and different bed leveling techniques.  No matter what I have done the extruder is crashing into the bed when it begins printing.

I was going to give up for now until I can afford more down time but have a number of things to get printed.  So now I need to go back to factory firmware.  So far I have had no luck doing that either.

Any ideas ???  Thanks! smile
