Topic: Firmware Update Problem
OK, I have combed through the threads and looked at the wiki's... here is my issue:
I can't seem to update the firmware.
I always get the message "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding"
Just got the SD2 today. I can connect to it using Repetier on my OSX machine. Using Repetier, I can manually move the bed up or down and turn on the extruder heat, extrude or reverse, etc. I know the machine is working perfectly with regard to that and it shows that I have the correct serial port selected.
I have checked the board and it has the auto-reset jumper in place so I should not need to press the reset button to get an upload working correctly. I have tried version 0022 and 0023 of the arduino software and there isnt any change in the response between them.
It doesn't matter if I wait for the sketch size message to press the reset or hold the reset and release when the size message is shown or not press the reset button at all.
I have avrdude 5.11.1 installed and sym-linked in the arduino hardware tools directory along with the conf file in /etc.
I have also changed the boards.txt file to use arduino upload protocol and changed the upload speed to 38400.
What am I missing? It seems like this should be very simple and in my novice state of mind, I just can't see what is wrong.
Thanks,
