It works with Windows 10, 64bits without problem. its recognised as USB serial interface without any driver installation.

Hey does the MCP2200 work with windows 10 or does it only work with windows 7 32bit operating systems. Because even I am having the same problem. My windows 10 computer is not detecting the MCP2200. But if I connect the 5v of usb-b-type to Vusb terminal of MCP2200 it shows an error message 'Power Surge on USB port'. I have seen all the connections and they are perfect.

My windows in Ubuntu don't have a menu bar that I can use to change file opening preferences.

It's a file manager preference. View the contents of any folder to get a file manager window, then there should be a menu bar at the top of that window. Menu -> Edit -> Preferences, then the 2nd tab (my translation, it's german here).

Here's another solution, the last answer is right: [stackoverflow.com] . On my Ubuntu it's set to "ask each time".

Thanks - I had to use the Terminal command to start the Teacup configuration window and I was able to load Teacup to the control board.

I couldn't use your last suggestion, though it would be preferrable. My windows in Ubuntu don't have a menu bar that I can use to change file opening preferences. Looking into it, this is apparently a common problem. Do you know how to get window menus to display? I know this is off-topic from the Gen7 control board, but thought I'd ask.

when I double-click "configtool.py", a gedit file opens

The file shouldn't open in gedit, it should open a window on its own. Apparently it isn't recognized as being an executable.

Open a Terminal, change directory to inside the Teacup folder, then type

python2 configtool.py

and hit Enter.

Trying by double clicking I just see that it's surprisingly difficult to execute executables by (double)clicking in Ubuntu. Will have to find a way to deal with this.

I would like to get Teacup loaded on my Gen7 1.5 control board, but am having some troubles getting it ready.

I have the prerequisites: Python 2.7.6; I think I have wxPython (how do I make sure?), and Arduino IDE.

Teacup_Firmware is downloaded; when I double-click "configtool.py", a gedit file opens. I'm stuck here - I see no options to choose Menu -> File -> Load printer.

I'm running this in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Hopefully something simple I'm missing - any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Traumflug, that was it. After a wife-imposed two day hiatus from working on this, yesterday I checked the solders you suggested and found a bad one. Firmware uploaded nicely. Now I'm on to putting together the printer itself.

Thanks a lot for your help and quick responses!

I've tried entering characters into the serial window, but I've never gotten an echo.

Ah, problem found :-) Check the RX line for bad solder joints, the light green one in this picture (seen from the top):

If the ATmega doesn't receive characters, it also can't receive a firmware.

In the past, I would get ACM0 every time I plugged in the Gen 7 control board, but I recently followed the steps outlined at this site:
[ww1.microchip.com]

Since then, every time I plug in the board, I get increasing integers almost every time I plug in (I'm up to ACM10 now). Do you know how to undo this?

You mean, you run a stty command each time? That's pointless. As long as the ACM device appears, the driver part works fine.

How do I check if multiple applications are using the serial line? Or was this done with the 'ls /dev/ttyACM*' above?

Close the known applications, unplug the device. If the ttyACM* goes away, it was unused. There are more

I'd unplug the Gen7 and use 'ls /dev/tty*' to look how many are left. Unplug all other devices, too. All ttyACM* should go away.

I did this, and the ACM* went away. Plugging the Gen 7 back in and I get a single entry for ACM10.

Another one is, if you have more than one application connecting to the serial line, uploading doesn't work. Arduino IDE is fine, because it knows when the upload happens, but other ones like GtkTerm don't, so they have to be closed before uploading.

If all ACM devices are gone, the Gen7 should show up as ttyACM0 when connected. Chances are better in this case.

Hmm. Seems to get tricky.

The already uploaded SetupTest can also answer incoming characters. Simply connect to see the messages, then type a few characters in the Serial Monitor window, hit Enter. You should get extra messages, echoing these characters. With this working one can assume safely that serial lines are fine.

Looking through the log above I see this:

Using Port : /dev/ttyACM4

ACM4 is an unusual high number. It means, you have four other devices with serial lines connected (ACM0, ACM1, ACM2, ACM3). I'd unplug the Gen7 and use 'ls /dev/tty*' to look how many are left. Unplug all other devices, too. All ttyACM* should go away.

Press and release the reset button shortly before Arduino IDE start the upload (you have a time window of 3 seconds).

I've tried pressing and releasing the reset button many times without success. Are there any other possibilities?

I forgot to answer your question about the version of Arduino: it is "1:1.0.5+dfsg2-2" for Linux 32 bit.

The Atmega is working - the PSU turns on, the bed LED blinks five times (even when not connected with the USB cable), and the serial window shows the messages as well when the USB is connected - "PSU turned on" and messages indicating the LED is being turned on and off. I would like to reload the Setup Test program with a modification to blink 10 times so that I can see it's uploading. This isn't working yet, but I'll try your suggestion of pushing the reset button later today.

Thanks for the help!

Timeout means, there's no communications at all. Press and release the reset button shortly before Arduino IDE start the upload (you have a time window of 3 seconds).

BTW., the ATmega does work, right? SetupTest is already uploaded, so if you connect with Arduino IDE at 9600 baud ("Serial Monitor" in Arduino's toolbar), you should see messages. If there are none, something else is wrong.

Thanks for the advice - I made sure that the package came from the Gen 7 support file and it is now compiling. It is not uploading, however. When I open the serial window, the pre-loaded Setup Test program kicks on and shows on/off text as the bed LED blinks on and off. When I try to upload the Setup Test program again, it begins to upload, but doesn't seem to finish. I have the Upload messages below as well:

Hello,
I'm unable to verify the Setup program - I get the below errors, captured with "verbose output" during compilation. In case it helps, I added a note where the error list begins.

I have a Gen7 v1.5, Ubuntu Linux.

Somebody cared to post the error messages. Excellent, this way one can help.

It looks like the library code for the Gen7 doesn't like other files. Two questions:

- Is it the package coming with Gen7 Arduino IDE Support package or the one coming with Marlin? The Gen7 package should work, at least up to version 1.0.5 of Arduino IDE, I use it myself.

- Which version of Arduino IDE is it? Arduino doesn't take care of backwards compatibility, so add-on libraries break often. As said, 1.0.5 is fine.

Re: Gen7 - Impossible to upload firmware

iamay — Sat, 25 Jan 2014 15:15:46 -0500

I am trying to upload the Teacup firmware to an atmega644 on which I myself have burned the boatloader file "bootloader-644-20MHz.hex from Gen7 arduino IDE support using winavr/avrdude and a usbasp programmer.

Uploading firmware won't work on this atmega644 from the Generation 7 board,
I already have another atmega644/20MHz running teacup on the same board and I can easily upload the firmware on it.

Why I can't upload teacup/test fimware to it any idea ?

Hi,
Still I am not able to upload setup test code. I have attach file which shows some part of upload but the remaining portion in image remain as it is. more than 10 min I waited but no success.
what I think this problem may be because of ->

1.Wrong Fuse by me:
I want to know about fuse whether I have set it correctly because on below it is showing something different
[reprap.org]

I have set -U lfuse:w:0xff:m -U hfuse:w:0x99:m -U efuse:w:0xfc:m (for atmega644A on 16MHz) while on link it is LFUSE = 0xF7, HFUSE = 0xDC, HFUSE = 0xDC.

2. when I connect power supply with atx24 pin option 1 then on my electronic board led of heater blink once and then turn off. This happen before the upload of setup test code. Is there something wrong in my electronic board?
any suggestion how to check, please tell me.

@Bru: so you have successfully burn the boot loader, that is good. To upload the firmware using the usb-ttl adapter cp2012, I need to push the reset button when the Arduino just showing 'Uploading' the firmware message.
Well, I manage to 'practice' it several time until get it correctly.

I have burn bootloader using command promt and before bootloader I set fuse. So any one please reply if i have done something wrong. I have attach screenshots of steps in 3 part .
after doing such thing i am not able to upload setup test code as well as firmware. I am using usb to ttl cp2012.
any suggestion most welcome.

Hi zungmann,
I have build Gen7 1.4.1 board for my prusa i3 . Now what problem I am facing is I am not able to burn Bootloader. I am using atmega644A controller with 16Mhz crystal. I tried to burn using Arduino IDE 1.0.4 as well 1.0.5 version and arduino uno as programmer. Even I tried with command prompt avrdude. I am working on windowsXP OS.
so please help me, I want to know how to burn bootloader as you have done this.

Hi,
I have built a strip prototype version of the gen 7 board running Marlin firmware. I am using stand alone motor drivers so I dont need the drivers located on the main board. I had tested the board on the bench and everything worked ok. All motors were tested, heat on extruder and bed worked and all three sensors could be read with M119. When I connected the board to the printer and tried to connect the usb I started getting errors. Sometimes I had to recycle the power as the usb driver was not being recognised. Once I got the usb recognised I could get the printer to go online in pronterface but then it would freeze and I couldn't get it to respond to any commands. I tried to reload the firmware with usb connected to my gen7 board via the MCP2200 but got time out errors. The tx led of the MCP2200 would just flash every few seconds. Troubleshooting took the following steps:
1) I verified the MCP2200's correct operation by removing the ATmega1284P ic and shorting the Tx and rx pins. (14 and 15 )
2) I reloaded the bootloader and frimware through the ISP connector using an Arduino Uno as ISP. There were no errors generated in the download. but still when I attempted to connect to pronterface the problems were the same.
3) When I first burned the bootloader I did it while the ATmega was on a breadboard following the instructions in the reprap link here; ->[reprap.org]
In this example Pin 32 (Aref) of the Atmega is tied to +5V. I had a look in the datasheet of the ATmega1284P and it says the Aref may be connected to the AVCC pin or use an internal vref. The selected ref voltage is controlled by writing to one of the control registers in the ATmega.
In the schematics of the Gen 7 elactronics pin 32 of the ATmega tied to a capacitor to gnd. The pin is also connected to connector 4 where a voltage can be applied to the pin.
4) I connected pin 32 to +5v on my gen 7 pcb and programmed to bootloader again using the ISP as before. No errors were returned.
5) Then using the usb connected to the gen 7 pcb ( via the MCP2200 ) I downloaded the firmware and it downloaded fine. I tested the board again and all functions were working fine. I power cycled the pcb and tried to connect to my printer again. Everything went ok. I had a spare ATmega 1284 ic which already had the bootloader burned and I loaded the firmware on it through my gen7 board without problems.

My question; is is possible that the connection of Aref to +5 volts could have solved this issue? Also I don't know if at the lowest level of the firmware the register is programmed to use Aref, AVCC or the internal ref. The data sheet says if the internal ref is selected in software that Aref shouldn't be connected.

"If the user has a fixed voltage source connected to the AREF pin, the user may not use the other
reference voltage options in the application, as they will be shorted to the external voltage. If no
external voltage is applied to the AREF pin, the user may switch between AVCC and 2.56V as
reference selection." (datasheet version: 8059D–AVR–11/09 pg. 248 )

Maybe Aref should only be connected to +5v to burn the bootloader and then left floating when downloading the firmware.
Any advice would be apreciated.
Thanks.

Does this happen when using a serial terminal (PuTTY, GtkTerm), too?

Yes, Rx LED starts to glow as soon as i connect USB cable to PC. Without any program. On different PCs.
In PuTTY i have "OK Start" all the way.

Done it. Did not helped.

I am having problem with MCP2200.
If I load firmware (Teacup) via ISP into 1284P and connect it to Pronteface I have message 'start' repeated infinite.

If you can read the message, your MCP2200 works fine.

Your ATmega apparently resets for some reason. Does this happen when using a serial terminal (PuTTY, GtkTerm), too?

FT232 does not work if i don't solder out MCP2200.

That's expected, both share the same serial port.

Auto reset?

Hello,

I am having problem with MCP2200.
If I load firmware (Teacup) via ISP into 1284P and connect it to Pronteface I have message 'start' repeated infinite. And nothing works.
When i solder it out and connect FT232 to 1284P directly, everything works. FT232 does not work if i don't solder out MCP2200.
Board looks fine, i checked it with magnifying glass also.
What could it be? Auto reset?

In repetier and marlin as well as sprinter you need to give the M80 command to turn on the power supply, if your using ATX as your PSU. M81 to turn it off BTW.
Also for those of you with the 1284 without the (P) - pu trust me I have tried all kinds of way to program that thing even a dedicated programmer based on the arduino design, it keeps failing so I gave up on this chip. there is something inherently different, someone might have to dig up the data sheets, even if I load the boot loader something is amiss. there have been several arduino bobduino mighty 1284 threads on this subject it just is a no go, most peeps don't succeed when it comes to that chip.
