New Davinci 1.0 printer ?? 1.0.2 firmware.... (Page 1 of 2)

I just got DaVinci 1.0 it came with firmware 1. 0. 1 I want to be able to use the reseter has anyone gone from this firmware to J firmware if so can you please leave a link

Can you take a picture of the extruder head? Curious if they are shipping with the same extruder I got from the factory today as spare parts.

Thanks!

The little square on the silkscreen just below the sd card is where the jumper would have been populated at. Just use tweezers are something similar and short hose two pads together that are inside the little white rectangle just below the micro sd card.

That board is the board for the newer model with the scanner in it as evident by the two unpopulated headers marked laser 1 and laser 2.

looks they use the same board for all models now, they just don't populated all the parts for the lower models. Just like the older units have the capacity for duel extrusion, the components just need to be added to the board.

So just erase using the jumper then flash it again. You did something wrong, or your source bin file is bad. Get a different version from the Github.

As long as it is a 1.0, 2.0, or Aoi the board is still the same as the old board. They just don't populate what is needed for the lower models. All three Da Vinci printers use the same board and CPU. All versions of the firmware should still work on the new board. If you short the jumper again it will erase the processor even if the flash is messed up. The processor has a protected boot loader that it is near impossible to mess up with what we are doing. Note this section of the Forum is for the 1.0 so if yours is a 2.0 or Aoi then you won't find much help here.

So just erase it and start over with a different version using Bossac. The jumper location is just below micro SD card. It is not populated but the silkscreen still shows a small white box surrounding two solder pads. Turn the machine off short those two pads with tweezers, then while shorted turn the machine on for a few seconds then back off. The Processor will now be erased and in it's boot strap mode. Just do a search about unbricking  or flashing firmware and you will find the information you need to restore it using Bossac and a command line.

Here are some instructions that should help from other post.

Install arduino IDE1.5. bla bla
Use the latest version that is beta and specifies drivers for the due
go to the arduino folder in windows explorer in the program files directory probably and search bossac copy this file to c: to make this easier.
put your davinici firmware in c:
open command prompt
bossac -p com19 -R -e -w -v -b 3DP01_20140310_FW_V1.1.G_RELEASE.bin

run that command line after erasing the flash on the printer using the 2 jumper pins.
replace the com19 with your com port and the 3DP01_20140310_FW_V1.1.G_RELEASE.bin with the name of the firmware you want to use.

The easiest way to erase the flash is to use the Arduino serial monitor. Find out what COM port the printer wakes up on, set this in the Arduino IDE, then change the baud rate to 1200, then disconnect by closing the serial monitor. Voila!
This way you don't need to open up your printer.

I have a new 1.0 davinci with 1.0.1 firmware also I hope you can get this going again! also check the forums over at voltivo they seem to be alot more firmware oriented.

can we get the 1.0.2 from someone who upgrades their firmware? it has to save the firmware file to the pc first to update right? I am on 1.0.1 and would be willing to try and get the firmware file if someone can direct me.

If somebody could supply some clear pictures of the mainboard where the silkscreen can actually be read we could compare the outputs and inputs and see if there was a major change. I doubt it but they may have swapped some IO lines. Which would mean the firmware would not work. Some body just needs to install Atmel studio on their PC. They then should be able to dump the hex file from one of these newer boards through ISB and then upload it to a file share or cloud for others to recover with.

I would say yes. I would really like to see the entire board from end to end so we can compare the outputs and their locations to older boards.

After printing a few objects from .stl files it looks like the current combination of new machine, firmware (1.0.1) and software (1.1.33.1) it seems to be printing at a much higher quality than the older da vinci I had replaced.  I am blocking auto-updates until the community leans more about these newer machines and this new firmware.

I have the latest 1.0 printer as well with the j37 jumper and 1.0A firmware, or that's what it had before I flashed this.

They are still working through some minor issues with the LCD, but it's not a show stopper for me, and I think they've about resolved it anway.

I use the above firmware with OctoPrint ( on a pi ) or with Repetier host. So fare I've tried Slic3r and KISSlicer with good results.

Be warned that it took me ( a noob at 3d printing ) an entire day to get things working, but it does work now, and much better than stock.

I found this very helpful for getting Repetier/Slic3r working. youtube.com/watch?v=fWRhNyCFA6I
I used this to get a jump on the KISSlicer setup. voltivo.com/forum/davinci-hwmods/91-octopi-da-vinci-wireless-enabled#2551
