I have bought this printer:
[www.aliexpress.com]

I was trying to uprade the printer to auto level, asked the seller for a new firmware that suported autolevel he as sent me this:
[www.dropbox.com]

Due to a problem whit the usb chip i could not upload the firmware, so i decided to have replaced the melzi with a ramps kit
(Ramps 1.4 Kit + Mega 2560 r3 + 5x a4988 + LCD 2004 Display)

Needless to say that i don't know much (to sai the least) about programing.


Now i have received the ramps 1.4 board.

Made all the conections, and it seams ok.

But i can't managed to get the firmware right, downloaded and tried to made the changes of the board.

Can someone please send me the firmware to upload to ramps

Your links to AliExpress & DropBox don't work.

You will need the Arduino IDE (or similar) to be able to change the firmware.

The RAMPS board is just dumb electronics... it is the Mega2560 that you program.

Without knowing what sort of printer you have, no-one can send you the right firmware.

Those MELZIs always were a bit twitchy.
If you're using a RAMPS 1.4 then you have a few firmware options.
Marlin and Repetier Firmware are the most popular.
Personally, I prefer Marlin. [github.com]
