Marlin firmware rev sanguinololu 1.3a

Hi there,

I have posted this in the sanguinololu section so apologies for posting again. Just desperate to find a solution.

I just got a new sanguinololu rev 1.3a for my old Huxley printer. I am trying to upload the Marlin firmware via Arduino. I have installed the Sanguino 'board preset' in the board manager. But when I try upload the firmware it says:

pins_RAMPS.h:48: error: #error "Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu."

#error "Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu."


I tried using the Arduino Mega 'board preset' but that doesn't work either. Normally it just times out.

I have come across this online: "Since the ATmega1284 is not supported by Avrdude. You will have to burn the bootloader manually from the command line. See this file for help: ATmega1284.md."

Is that the problem that I am having since my board is a Atmega1284p, In which case I need to get some sort of programmer to redo the bootloader?

Please help! Thank you so much!

Hi there,

I've managed to get past that problem.. Well at least I think I have.

But now Arduino gives me this error message when trying to upload:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Damian

A lot of times this happens when you have the USB Serial port in use by a different program. For example, you might have PronterFace connected to the board and in that case Arduino can't get the connection that it needs.
