E3Dv6 on Solidoodle Press (Page 10 of 21)

If you are attempting to do this without a AVR programmer on the RPi. You are pretty much on your own.
I've have only done it with one.

With that stated.

I get :

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 16c0:0483 VOTI Teensyduino Serial with issuing lsusb via my RPi with the Jumper in place.

AVR Programmer ordered.  Thanks for the obscenely large amount of help with all of this (and many other threads you've been contributing to) so far, MacGyverX.

Yeah you can flash it with only Windows teamed up with a AVR Programmer. And RPi is NOT required.

well, that old laptop did have windows xp and unfortunately it still wasnt working as it should have...im now down one less old laptop :-)

one USBTiny ordered overnight, so hoping to have it Wednesday so that this show can get on the road here. 

Thank you MacGyverX for your patience and guidance in the matter at hand here. Hopefully when the AVR programmer gets here and i assemble it this issue of flashing the firmware will not be an issue any longer.

i know have a bunch more reading to do before Wednesday because this AVR gizmo is foreign to me.

no worries man, you did say early on that THIS was your method and if other ways dont work its not on you. 

speaking of which, the AVR method i think i saw outlined on your github post?  i just want to make sure hopefully i can get this all done now without posting a shload of questions on here.

Same issue I had on the windows XP laptop I attempted it with. I gave up. Wait a few days. Get an AVR programmer. Hopefully that'll all work out.

I've been watching this thread from the sidelines, waiting for the clear instructions on how to flash the Press. I was excited to see the Windows instructions that you put together, but then saw all the hassles that people are having with drivers. You mentioned that it is way easier in OS X. Is it possible to upload the firmware via USB? If so, what software would you recommend I use to perform the upload?

Didn't touch the bootloader.

I've made a change to the direct mount for both the Press & the SD2 to work better with flexible filaments. I've also made a similar change on the bowden chassis. (This mod will not matter if you have no intentions of using flexible filaments like NinjaFlex. This only came about because I got a couple spools and I wanted to experiment.)

And this is the mod in application on the SD2 (My E3D came in today, So I figured before I installed in the SD2 i'd take a pic)

NinjaFlex is working 'okay' in the Press. It's a bit jagged. I am pretty sure I can make it work better.

Now that's a shroud! Nice work.

What's ironic is I can reprint that with that shroud to get rid of the loose bits at the bottom. Man I love 3D Printers. Can make stuff to upgrade itself.
So damn cool.

Lol
