Topic: cannot get past 28.91 celcius

Hi,
I am receiving the printer, quite good the condition is, and now after installing arduino FTDI the heat still cannot lezve the floor, although the buttons are quite alive but not functional, am I rewriting the arduino board by running its application then upload a blink code script using upload button, which was not sure its success, there is sync error in it.

i really need to get this working, my business is crawling with no real cash flow, i appreciate any quick help

thx,

Re: cannot get past 28.91 celcius

I guess i skip the ftdi installation and into arduino  hompage and after downloading their environment, i might rewrite the chip?
is this a dream come true bad case scenario, too pessimistic? and too determined. please HELP somebody...

Re: cannot get past 28.91 celcius

Help us help you.

1. Are you using a windows or Mac?

2. What software are you trying to control the printer with?

3. What is your exact problem? You try to start a print but the extruder temperature never exceeds 29 degrees?

Firstly, you should need the Arduino software unless you are changing firmware. Do you have a good reason to do so?

Windows XP

I am just trying to install it and start to make money out of my falling bussines , damnit!

3. What is your exact problem? You try to start a print but the extruder temperature never exceeds 29 degrees?
yes the extruder and bed temperature

Firstly, you should need the Arduino software unless you are changing firmware. Do you have a good reason to do so?
it was a wrong installation i guess, now i am updating the firmware Marlin and please continue to read if you are ready

there is this error

Re: cannot get past 28.91 celcius

Why are you updating the software? It should come ready to rock out of the box.

have you got pronterface connected to the printer? Remember to set your baud rate to 250000 not the default 150000 otherwise it wont work.

Re: cannot get past 28.91 celcius

Can you move the printer around with the manual controls?  Is it only the temperature that doesn't work?

Did you check the "Monitor Printer" box near the top of the Pronterface window?

You shouldn't need to update the firmware if you are only printing with Pronterface.  However if you still want to, you must use Arduino version 0022 as it says in the instructions.  Arduino version 1.01 won't work.
