Thank You I'll give it a try, hope it works!!!by viper412 - General
Thanks my friend! That's good news but even after a fresh start up I get that same message. The main problem is that I picked up this new board (a Melzi 2.0) and I need to install the firmware, I verified the code and it checks out with Arduio IDE now when I hit the upload and I get that message I can't figure this one out I feel like I'm going in circles. Thanks again!by viper412 - General
OK, OK I passed LEGO101, no problem I also have have everything verified and it all checks out OK, the problem, that I am having is this, I get the error "Serial Port 'COM3' already in use. Try quitting any programs that may be using it." I've done everything I could think of, I checked the port and Repetier Host finds the board and connects, however the Repetier slicer does not find the port. Alby viper412 - Reprappers

Also when I try and use the Arduino IDE to flash the firmware to the Melzi 2.0 control board This happens even on a fresh restart any ideasby viper412 - General
It sounds like your in the same boat as me and you have to flash your control board to put the firmware on it to make the printer work. Everyone acts like it is some big secret and you just can't get a straight answer for any where. I took me a month to even start to figure the interface between the printer and the board and I still can't upload the firm ware to the printer because I can't findby viper412 - Reprappers

OK guys if you have read the other posts I had to order another board and it did not come with any firmware loaded I down loaded Marlin and Arduino and I also watched and followed Toms Guide on you tube to the letter but I have two problems one I can not get the Melzi folder to load in Arduino and I can not get Marlin to upload to the board I checked the port and that its connected to and that isby viper412 - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi first off thanks for the help, Yes I just found them on the SD card (nothing telling me that they were loaded on the card) I have included pictures of the file folders in order. of how I would open them but what to do with them is the question. I also did plug in the printer as you advised and the LCD screen came on, (see pictures) The hot bed and the Hot End started to heat as the temp went uby viper412 - Prusa i3 and variants
