I set it to 115200 and it worked like a charm.

With the new chip, now I can not connect to/use the printer anymore. is this because the new chip does not have solidoole's firmware on it either?

I will put the old chip back for now.
I also sent a email to solidoodle support.

Binary sketch size: 51852 bytes (of a 63488 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

This is the same error I had before. Now I am runing out of options, is there a way I can confirm this new chip has a good boot loader? 

Is there anything else i can try?

Please help.

Well that's not good at all. The only reason that this error would come up is a missing bootloader. May we send another?


We'll get on it immediately - did a spot check on the boards going out, and these all have bootloaders.

I have the same issue where I can't get the firmware updated. I get that same error. I tried Bad Coffees' suggestion, that didn't work for me. I tried both versions, neither of which work for me. Repetier does connect to the SD, and i'm able to move the bed, and the extruder around. Any ideas?

This is an acknowledged issue - you may have a faulty boot loader.

If not, then please check the wiring for the end stop at the electronics and printer end. There have been reports of loose wiring that has triggered a warning erroneously.

I use the regular software that Solidoodle recommends & I control the printer with Pronterface. When I press the button to move the Y axis to the back, I get the error "echo: endstops hit Y:xxx" where x stands for numbers.

I'm using the latest of my firmware which is now officially supported and have had no such issues. https://github.com/mlaws/solidoodle2-marlin

Please post more details, like what software you are using to control the printer and wjhat commands you are sending that are causing the error.

Each time Pronterface gave me a lot of weird symbols and errors (I'm not a programmer so everything looks weird, but this was not readable). A friend suggested to update the firmware (i didn't have problems with that), but now I have a new problem after I updated the firmware:

The Y axis only moves in one direction (the opposite of the limit switch). It seems like the metrical values are changed. When I try to print, X & Z axis move to the right position, but the Y axis puts the head almost through the door ;-)

Anybody an idea?

Already send a email to Support.

Thanks guys.

You can fix this issue yourself if you have an ISP programmer, or a breadboard, Arduino and jumper leads. Either of these allow you to upload either a bootloader or the firmware to the micro controller directly.

Absolutely. The Tiny ISP from adafruit is ideal.
