That version of arduino should have the printrboard in it.

Now, when you do not have the correct board defined in configuration.h file, it will always say "use Teensy ++2.0". Thats just a text message error in the pins.h file and not hard coded into arduino IDE. Since you are seeing that message, you have the correct MOTHERBOARD defined.

Next question: You said  it would not compile, but you did not say you could not select printrboard. So which is it:

I cannot select printrboard from Tools --> Board -->

or

It will not compile (there is an error).

The exact version of Arduino I am using I cannot say since I am at work until tonight.

Where did you get your firmware file to begin with? There are a few floating around.

When you go to select your board type in arduino, ca you see the printrboard types in the list? You may not have those board types installled in your version of arduino.

Which leads to which version of arduino are you using?

This should help us find out what is going on. You should not be having a problem compiling under the printrbaord board type.

OK. The fact that things are moving means you are in luck. Dead means dead, no movement, no lights.

  That is certainly good news, and that was one of my theories.

  Yes I do.

  That one is news to me. I did not change any lines in Configuration.h aside from the three lines instructed. Since I have an SD2, I did not need to change from 2 to 3.

  Only way it would compile is if I clicked Tools>Board>Teensy ++2.0  as it instructed me in the bottom window.

All connectors are in their proper places. I took a picture with my iphone before unplugging anything. Nothing was plugged in/removed while the printer was powered up.

More importantly, EEPROM shows nothing but zeros in all fields. Restarted printer, same. Restarted computer, same.

First, it sounds like you have big problems with your firmware setup. Lets confirm that you have a printrboard:

Next, if this is your motherboard, you need to check the following in your config.h file:

#define MOTHERBOARD 81

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT   {88,88,2268,138}

Compile it in arduino with board type [usbtiny]teensylu/Printrbaord or [bootloaderCDC]teensylu/printrbaord.

After you upload and connect to RH, do not move any motors until you check the EEPROM:

CONFIG-->Firmware EEPROM Configuration

Make sure your steps/mm are correct.

Now, it sounds like you have 1 of two possible problems:
1. Your firmware settings are way off.
2. It is possible you plugged in all of your motors in the wrong location. Check the picture above with how you connected everything.

Check the wiring first and get back to us.

That being said - I dont think thats your issue.

I'm back from a funeral/wake, so I'm not about to try and diagnose tonight, soz... but one of the other more capable peeps around here I'm sure can help. Otherwise I'm out till tomorrow...

I looked over all connections and it looks golden.
I have tried resetting, turning off and on, even rebooting printer and computer and it still is acting up. Perhaps a video might help?

On the last page, I obviously had many issues as it would not compile as I tried for over an hour. Frustrated, today I was finally able to compile the firmware. I was excited when I wired my board back up and all the lights and fans came on. I was stoked and proud.
But:
-As I clicked Z+, the rod spun but the bed did not move an inch.
-As I clicked home, it began moving back and to the left instead of back and to the right.
-I heated the extruder and it smelled as if something was burning. I retracted some filament and it FLEW out at a rediculous speed.
-I extruded 50mm and it violently grabbed the filament and bent it at the top, causing the filament to want to "double up" inside the E3D.

One thing that struck me odd: When I was updating the firmware, Arduino would not compile until I clicked on tools and changed the board to ++2 Teensy.
Also, on the thread I linked, it said to change Motherbard from 62 to 81. But this is not mentioned one bit on the Soliwiki page.
Please oh please oh please don't tell me it is dead! Can I fix it????
