uploading reprap gcode interpreter firmware to arduino
January 23, 2014 05:57AM
Hi all,

I am trying to understand exactly what files i need to upload to my arduino from the rep rap package (http://sourceforge.net/p/contraptor/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/firmware/reprap_new_firmware/)

reading through some of the guide, it just say upload the code, however i am not sure if i just upload the the reprap_new_firmware.pde file or do i open each one in the Arduino IDE and then click upload for each file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Anu

My advice would be dont even try. Use Marlin [github.com]

a pde file needs to loaded and compiled to produce a binary, that is then uploaded to your hardware

But in saying that... The firmware your looking at is old... hasn’t been touched since 2010.

Get Marlin [github.com] you still need to compile and upload it...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had a look at the supported hardware and it seems that it wont work on an Arduino Uno. Possibly TeaCup or GRBL. I have tried GRBL but have not had any success with it yet in regards to flashing it to the arduino.

Teacup will work on that...

But your going to miss out on all the new features...
