Anytime someone sees conflicting or wrong info please PM the poster so it can be corrected or changed, same goes for the wiki's let one of the editors know so it can be fixed or if you have the means take care of it.

The problem is not incorrect information, it is that the information does not apply to all of the different iterations of solidoodles and most tutorials (including the wikis) not only cater to a single version, they dont even distinguish the different versions.

Sounds like a job for the guys making money selling these printers...

Quoted for truth.

Someone should throw together a google drive doc and start putting the correct tutorials in it with a damn good menu system. 4 websites (Solidoodle main, these forums, and 2 wikis) and most people cant get the right information anymore. Wait until the new extruder and box makes things even more confusing.

At last I think I did it..
Used adrian instruction: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/3098/gui … board-wip/
and then took part about bootloader from wiki

well, problem is that there are hundreds of manuals in wiki.soliidodle, in soliwiki, in github, here etc. and usually most of them are useless ..

I agree and was suggesting that satman49's post get a sticky.  Not that you weren't looking in the correct place.
It is getting so confusing to separate out the different boards and the process to change firmware and flash it.
A Sticky for how to do that for each board type would help separate it out.

Configure means to make changes to the firmware as needed.You can do this under the configuration.h tab.Do you need to? If not click the circle under the word "file" , that is verify(hold the shift key then click) At the bottom should say compiling.If no errors , when finished should say some thing like:  C:\Users\TJ7DF4~1.SAV\AppData\Local\Temp\build6511266106596834075.tmp\Solidoodle2_6142013.cpp.hex
Binary sketch size: 53114 bytes (of a 130048 byte maximum).

Now did you do this?
Download Lincomatic's BootloaderHID.zip and extract the files.
Move the firmware.cpp.hex file from the previous section into the BootloaderHID folder.
Connect your motherboard to your PC via USB. Add a jumper to the BOOT pins and press the RESET button to reset into bootloader mode. If you do not have a jumper, just short the pins together and press reset.
Open a command prompt window. Navigate to BootloaderHID folder in the comand promt window and type the following command, substituting your file in for "firmware.cpp.hex":
hid_bootloader_cli -mmcu=at90usb1286 -w -v firmware.cpp.hex

This worked for me.

This post should be a sticky separated out  Printer board from the Sangs.... etc.
How many times do we see this same question?

Man, be so kind and tell me what installation instrucions did you use? Need all in details....

ok you said it didn't compile and got an error?What version of Arduino are you using .022?That's what I used and it worked.
What version of windows or you on a Mac?

I am using Windows 7. And I tried on different machines to compile (which button you push in Arduino prog.? Verify or verify and compile?) , that means I do something wrong..
Well, as I said, I use this manual: http://wiki.solidoodle.com/update-firmware

They say:
•Once you have configured your firmware, hold "shift" and click "compile" for the verbose output. The last two lines will say something like:

C:\Users\TJ7DF4~1.SAV\AppData\Local\Temp\build6511266106596834075.tmp\Solidoodle2_6142013.cpp.hex
Binary sketch size: 53114 bytes (of a 130048 byte maximum)

In this directory I try to find firmware.cpp.hex file. I use Arduino 0022, right.
