Firmware upload Problems Gen 7 1.3.1

Hi

I am very new to RepRap and am struggling with the firmware side of things. I have a Gen 7 board and have managed to get it to run the test program (LED on and off).

I have been struggling to get one of the firmwares uplaoded (some fail in the compile). I appear to have got the FiveD firmware uploaded.

However on starting pronterface, it seems to connect (says printer connected) I can get any of the motors to move.

The PSU seems to be in standby i.e. it powers the board but doesnt switch on to pwoer the steppers.

I am really stuck with how to configures the firmware prior touploading.

Do I need to change anything or should the basic setup at least get things working?

Any pointers appreciated.

Apparently a new game in town: try firmwares and throw them away if they don't work on the first spot. Teacup is the only firmware really supported on the Gen7. Others probably work, too, but I have no influence on that.

Which compile error does Teacup give you?

These are after freshly installing the apps and git repos

Using Arduino 1.01 and Gen7 IDE Support 2.0 I get:

Using Arduino 0023 and Gen7 IDE Support 1.0 I get:

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hmm. So far I always thought Arduino IDE comes with it's own compiler, avr-libc and avrdude build, so one whould have always the same build environment inside the IDE. You error messages somehow make me think I'm wrong with that and your platform has a different set.

Looking at this page: [arduino.cc] , there seem to be incompatibilities between the Arduino library and your compiler. For a quick fix, look at the bottom of this page.

For a better fix, please tell me what OS you're using and what avr-gcc version it comes with. Even better whould be upgrading the IDE Support package to a more recent version of the stuff coming from the Arduino, of course. Or at least finding out if that helps.

Thanks for your reply markus,

was running debian testing, however i decided to go back to ubuntu 10.04, much better, and running a bit faster too on the old girl...

I am having dramas with my programmer though, could you please have a look?
