Topic: Time to Upgrade...

Alright so i bought a E3D hotend , a QU-BD silicone heat pad,a MeanWell 29A constant voltage power supply. its Time to get into the Firmware and make a few changes!  I was "lucky" enough to get a newer SD3 and ended up with the Printrboard Revison - E main board.  im trying to use Atmell FLIP 3.7.4  i vorrectly entered into bootloader mode and the aplication is giving me an error saying AtLibUsbDFU.dll isnt found along with libusb0.dll not found. and dynamic library cant be found... anyone know of a bootloader that i can use for the at90usb1286 ?

solidoodle time to speak up on how to use this board lol.

EDIT:

So I installed that libUSB driver and i tried again.... Made a jumper put it on the BOOT pins  pressed RESET.... This time no errors failed to connect no errors given.  any help??

It uses HID bootloader.

Follow those directions exactly (including installing the modified arduino 0022). If all you are changing is the max temp, it works without a problem.

Re: Time to Upgrade...

okay i downloaded the HIDbootloader and it seems simple enough to upload the firmware. is there a how to on reading the firmware on the printrboards flash memory.  Then after i edit this file how do i recompile it? the link on the solidoodle wiki is broken. says i need  a modified arduino IDE ? anyone have a good link to that ?

sorry for all the questions im not a programer by trade lol.

Update: link has been fixed. or just magically started working...
