Topic: Davinchi 1.0a Fails to execute repetier properly

So I just want to say how I do not want this to be my first post. Also guides here seem to be helpful.
I recently bought an XYZ Davinchi 1.0A for dirt cheap with a broken tensioner. Fixed it and ran a test print without ever hooking it to a pc because I had already read the print quality was low. I leveled the bed and jumped the J37 pin.
1. Download arduino 1.8.0 and install.
2. Download the repetier file and go into the arduino due file and replace the hardware files in the arduino package to the modified repetier ones.
3. Connect flashed printer and see which com port. In my case 3 or 4.
4. Configure printer settings to 1 and 1 in the sketch to match that it’s a Davinchi 1.0A
5. Upload sketch...
6. Restart printer
7. ( have a beautiful paperweight that connects and disconnects from windows)
8. Re do all with a downgraded bossa driver...
9. Fail for the next 6 hours.
10. Beg here for help because my brain is looking like scrambled eggs

Re: Davinchi 1.0a Fails to execute repetier properly

If I remember right, when I did my flash long ago you can't load the Repetier firmware using Arduino while the stock firmware is present. When you jump the j37 pin you wipe out the stock firmware. But now there is nothing in the printer that Arduino will recognize so it will not connect.

You have to use bossac command line and upload a BIN version of the Repetier firmware to the printer first. Once that is done then Arduino will see the printer and allow you to connect and upload sketches as you normally would.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Carl_m1968 that wasn’t the issue. The issue was I couldn’t read I shot a quick video outlining this I need to get up to YouTube. I failed to execute a step. I’ve printed to Eiffel towers now without much success but it is printing. The menu is huge in repetier.
