Hi @all,
I am realy new to 3D printing and have just recently bought an ANET A8 Plus. Because I read in several articles that I should update the original firmware of my printer I decided to upgrade to Marlin version 2.0.5.4. I downloaded the files + the corresponding config file from github and installed it with VS-Code on Ubuntu - as described in the article below the download. With the first start of the printer there shows an error on the printer "Err: EEPROM Version" which I could solve by initsializing EEPROM in the printer menu. But now it found out that I can not control the printer via USB cable. I downloaded Repetier Host and the connection is working: Connected. But unfortunately no reaction when I try to control it. Same problem with Simplify 3D. Do I have to adjust something to make it work? If you need more information please contact me and tell me how to get to the informations because I don't know so much about it yet.
I have already tried 3 different cables as I thought they might be the problem but same problem on all 3.
Another information the printer uses board version 1.7 if help something.
Or can be that i have to buy a new board because i have broken it by firmware flash?
Im now until 3 days to try of solving this issue, strange is that i dont see an error on the printer.
Last point i have seen is when i connect to repetier host the printer makes eatch time in automatic a restart. (Marlin logo will be displayed and afterwards the normal printing informations - temperatures and so on).
If needed i can also make some photos and upload them.
Thanks a lot in advance
