Been dinging with this for 2 more days! Trying to follow the Wiki instructions for PrinterBoard Update. Got the Arduino; got the Teenyduino; got the firmware (real PIA to find) - can't find the BootloaderHID. The preovided link sends me to a 404. Did some searching on the lincomatic site and did find a HID bootloader, but the chip description didn't look familiar. One of the posters said he borked the upgrade, and had a hell of a time getting the board back - I don't need that!

Can someone provide the proper link, or even the bootloader by Email?

Another point - there in no 'install' routine for Arduino as they keep referring to. I unzip the file, and click on the exe file, and it runs.

I'll keep at this til I get it..... I hope!!

Thanx

Maybe thats where I've been going wrong. It says SB MB rev-E...
Let me have a go with the other instructions. Back later........

It says Sanguinololu rev1.3on the board?
Or does it say Solidoodle MotherBoard rev-E? That's a printerboard so you'll need to use the printerboard instructions. http://www.soliwiki.com/Updating_Solido … structions

I got the printer for Christmas 2013 - it's rev E.
I'll be back at this tomorrow.

This is the version of Marlin you want https://github.com/ozadr1an/Solidoodle- … in_v1_beta
It's simple on your board unless you ended up with one of the few Sangs without a bootloader. When did you get your printer? What revision is the board?

The process is
Download the firmware and open Marlin.ino (.pde) it with Arduino 022
Go to configuration.h and make your thermistor change and max temp change. Choose the correct board number and set SD2 or 3
In tools select the correct board and com port.
Click save
Click verify
Hit the reset button on the board
Click upload.
That's it.

Carl - I have tried 1.0.5 - there seems to be no easy option to upgrade like on 0022. I imagine it's there, but I'm looking in the wrong place.

Ward - I have saved it, but then can't find it, marlin.pde, is no longer in the place I took it from - in the Marlin directory it's gone. I've had to reload and re-unzip the mlaws... file to get another copy of marlin.phe
Assuming I find where I've saved it, do I use the saved copy, or the copy in memory?

Are you saving before you verify?

Try using Arduino 1.0.5 and see if that works. The newest version is not that friendly with some of the older hardware that printers use.

That depends on a few scenarios. Let's take it one step at a time to avoid confusion and spare me 45 minutes of typing hypothetical scenarios

Carl - I'll give that a try a little later - gotta take the Boss to eat someplace.

AZ - I changed it from 6 to 5. What else should I worry about when I get this this to go like it should?

The thermistor for the E3D is a 5, not a 6. If you choose a different sensor than 5, you will start seeing strange behavior.

Make sure your host is not still connected.. There should be nothing connected to the printer when you do this..

Sorry it took so long to respond SHMBO's honey-do list looks like a roll of toilet paper....
OK... 97 is no prob with the deck, I have a third party/home made deck that heats to 95 in about 3 min, but until now, I haven't had cause to mess with the firmware. The E3DV6 was OK with what I printed, it's now in the box awaiting a rebuild. The Lite has been working fine, until this last batch of filament, it seems.
AZ - I do run 1976 for Z height. I could,'t get much over 220 or so with the stock firmware. So I have spent most of the day trying in vain to upgrade the current firmware. I am doing it on the Bosses' Win10 as Arduino can't find com 3 trying from Win8.1 on an IMac - go figure.
I used to program years ago so I am not totally oblivious or paranoid about doing it. Try as I may all I can come up with is the errors listed below. I have only changed the thermistor type to 5 from 6, and the max heat to 295, from 225.

Wide open for suggestions here...

fully agree on the hot end temp being too low - with an E3D you should be more in the 230-240C range. most of my ABS, from various manufacturers, runs 235-237C
