        <title>Newbie question - firmware backup</title>
        <description> I have Melzi 2.0 board with Repetier firmware version 0.91 (probably).
I want to install induction sensor for bed leveling.
However, all the comments from the configuration.h and all the other files are removed.
Therefore I&#039;d like to install either newer version of Repetier firmware or some other firmware (like Marlin) and configure it.
To stay safe, I&#039;d like to backup the current firmware somehow.
I have some USBasp mini programmer, however I have no idea if and how can I backup the binary file from the ATmega chip.
Can anyone suggest how to proceed?

Thanks!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Use arvdude  (command line only) (is part of Arduino IDE, but will not be in the path) <br />
<br />
eg<br />
avrdude -c usbasp -b 38400 -i 10 -p m1284p -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -U flash:r:factory.hex:i<br />
<br />
-c is the type of programmer you have probably  usbasp or usbasp-clone<br />
-b baud rate<br />
-p is the processor either m644p or m1284p depends what your board has.<br />
-P is the com port  /dev/ttyUSB0 is a linux example, com3 for a windows eg.<br />
-U memtype : operator : filename[:format] in this case flash ROM firmware, read to file factory.hex in Intel Hex format. You might also want to dump your eeprom<br />
<br />
See [<a href="http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/user-manual/avrdude_4.html" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.nongnu.org</a>] for more details]]></description>
