I recently completed the
gen 7 1.5 board for my printer and I'm having trouble uploading the firmware to the Atmega1284-pu. I followed these
instructions... all well except the zip download doesn't work and I don't have a programmer. I did all I can by improvisation and other sites and ignored the bootloader process(I'm not sure if mine has one or not) and uploaded to the microcontroller from arduino IDE 0023. The message left was:
Binary sketch size: 48602 bytes (of a 131072 byte maximum)
avrdude: Can't find programmer id "stk500v1"
Valid programmers are:
...so I guess it means i need a programmer to upload the bootloader? If so, will a parallel programmer suffice? Or do I need to find that zip, which I can't find... so I will need to find a new set of instructions. The board has a mcp2200 built in, and I configured the boards.txt to accomodate my atmega and 20 mhz crystal. I don't want to spend too much more on the printer, already spent 300$ on it and this is the last element... I hope
Any advice, change of direction, thoughts and links will be greately appreciated
I live in Poland, so links to stores out of Europe won't be helpfull.
