Can you start out by finding the firmware that you would like to install? From there, we might be able to get it on your board.

Probably another version of marlin.  Where can I find what works?

First of all, I will mention that I am by no means an expert. I hardly know about this topic, but I recently had to troubleshoot my way through and upgrade and in the end I did manage to get it done. I am happy to try my best to help you get through yours, however, I am no expert.

Many others have reported that they are able to get their boards to communicate with their computers using the Arduino software by pressing and holding the reset button before uploading. This video I found on YouTube demonstrates it: https://youtu.be/plCxXwiUK-w

In general this is how it worked for me:
I was not able to get my motherboard to communicate over USB (period).
I bought an ISP device (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C7V … detailpage) that connected to the motherboard on the 6 pin, the cable looks like this: http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_330523_3.jpg
When I connected it to my board, I was able to read and determine for certain which board I have. It turned out that I have: AT90USB1286
I used the Arduino software to open and read/write the HEX file from the Arduino firmware. After that, I verified and compiled using the Arduino software. I took the resulting HEX file and pushed it to the board using Atmel Studio.

Are you trying to modify your firmware or just get Marlin installed on it or something else?




it has marlin firmware already according to repetier.  I would like to get an updated version of marlin or something that will work well with it and be more up to date.  the board says its from 2014 and I can't confirm my firmware build so knowing solidoodle and their horrible customer service its likely out of date. 

If I can get it to connect with the makerbot desktop that would be a huge plus as that software is way better and easier to use with 3d printers as far as their slicer is concerned. 

I don't even know where to begin with this though.  I dont even know how to find the file to compile and build.  or even how to compile it in arduino.

I'm stuck on all of it really. 

I was following this.  http://support.solidoodle.com/hc/en-us/ … 0-Firmware

I don't know where my new firmware is found as they haven't made that clear.  And When I installed the arduino they listed it did not have teensylu. 

I also don't know how to compile the firmware as there are no directions for that.  I wish I could get support from solidoodle but we all know how awful they are.

I have a solidoodle press just purchased a few months ago.  I only see ATMEL 1418 or maybe 141B written on the chip.  The board says Solidoodle 2014 SD5 Rev CA on it but there are no other identifiers I can make out.

I can't take a picture currently but will work on that.

I installed http://www.atmel.com/tools/ATMELSTUDIO.aspx Atmel Studio and connected by board with an ISP programmer, using that I was able to figure out exactly which board I have. I clicked "read" in the programming window.

Can you help guide me through it?  I have never had to do such an in depth firmware upgrade.  I haven't ever had to do it like this.  Makerbots just upgrade without anything extra this solidoodle is over my head. 

where do I find the latest firmware?  I am struggling with that as well.  there isn't anything obvious on their site.

Extract the files from the zipped folder, and open Arduino.exe
Go to Tools, Boards, and select either "[USBtinyISP]Teensylu/Printrboard" or "[BootloaderCDC]Teensylu/Printrboard]

from this site.  http://support.solidoodle.com/hc/en-us/ … 0-Firmware

Is not specific

Yes, I have tried for a half second, one second, ten seconds, thirty seconds. Nothing seems to make a difference. The reset button certainly registers (I know because I can hear the Windows USB disconnect and reconnect chime), but the boot pins don't do anything at all. I thought my jumper might be bad so I tried connecting them with metal, still nothing. Then I just plain bent them together, still no response.

Could this mean that my bootloader isn't installed correctly?

I wonder if there is any way to get the Marlin beta installed with my ISP? In the end, I just need to change the max temp so the hot end can get hot enough for the new extruder. Right now, the max temp is too low and it is turning off before it gets to the temp that I need for the new mods that I did.

I really appreciate your input and reply!
