Also, in configuration.h tab, you have to make sure that the mother board is set to 81.  Its at line 54.

#ifndef MOTHERBOARD
#define MOTHERBOARD 81 //{SD Patch}
#endif

I just went to open the Language.h file and it is listed under files but when I open it there is no tab. I used the pull down on the right and it is not listed.

#elif MOTHERBOARD == 62 || MOTHERBOARD == 33 || MOTHERBOARD == 34 || MOTHERBOARD == 81        //{SD Patch}
    #define MACHINE_NAME "Solidoodle"                                    //{SD Patch}
    #define FIRMWARE_URL "http://github.com/mlaws/solidoodle2-marlin/"   //{SD Patch}

That I copied from one of my other posts, you can change the machine name in quotes to bookmaker's solidoodle or something.  You can add a version number to keep track of what you've changed, say "Bookmaker's Solidoodle v0.1" or similar.  Only change what's quoted though, that is what is printed out in RH when you get connected to the printer.

How do I know that my current firmware update is running?  Is there a date somewhere so I can see if it took or not?

Can anyone give me further input that may solve my issue?
