Testers NEEDED

[boelle]

We are in the process of getting the issues list down to 0, or as close we can.

For this we need a lot of people, with as much different machine setups as we can, that are willing to load the latest development and report back any faults, the goal is not to do features but just to test for faults.

What tools did you use to compile and upload to the printrboad, did you use platformio?

I use the DFU bootloader and FLIP. Here's my crib sheet for DFU-fu:

1.You will need a USBtinyISP or similar ICSP http://www.ladyada.net/make/usbtinyisp/ Mine is avrisp2,not USBtinyISP. 2.Download WinAVR http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/ 3.Install AVR dev tools http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-win.html 4.Obtain a compiled DFUbootloader http://blog.lincomatic.com/?p=548 5.Installing A Bootloader reference: http://reprap.org/wiki/Printrboard 6.Remove the BOOT jumper from the Printrboard. Press the Reset button 7.Connect the 6 pin programming cable to the Printrboard’s ICSP header. \ Red wire is next to the SD card slot!!!** 8.Connect your programmer’s USB cable. 9.Run the following avrdude commands, avrdude -c usbtiny -p at90usb1286 -U lfuse:w:0xDE:m -U hfuse:w:0x9B:m -U efuse:w:0xF0:m avrdude -c usbtiny -p at90usb1286 -U flash:w:BootloaderCDC.hex:i 10.Replace jumper on the Printrboard. Press Reset again.

Re-flashing the printerboard with DFU: Install the BOOT jumper (for Rev D,E & F boards) Press and release the Reset button. The AT90USB's bootloader will appear as

a new USB device the first time you boot into the bootloader. Allow Windows

to install the USB driver and note the new COM port number.

DFU BOOTLOADER Open Atmel's FLIP software. Select the target device: AT90USB1286. Select Communication medium as USB.

Click Open. Compile firmware within Arduino. You will need to copy and paste the

compiled .HEX file into the HID application directory. The HEX file is saved in the temp folder, C:\users{currentuser}\appdata

\temp\build1234567890\Firmware_Name_Here.cpp.hex Open compiled HEX file within the FLIP software. Make sure the Erase, Blank Check, Program, and Verify checkboxes are

checked. Click the Run button Remove the BOOT jumper on the board (for Rev D, E & F boards) Hit the reset button

I would be interested if you can make this work under platformio, i currently dont have a windows machine.

See, platformio.org

There are a set of platformio config files in the root of the marlindev folder. And there is already a printrboard target in the platformio target. It would automate most of what you have outlined here, for installing the toolchains. You do however need to add python support to your machine.

Im trying to bring it up under linux this weekend.

Ps: i thought that printrboards already used dfu protocol when in programming mode. Certainly the ones from printrbot do, im not sure what some of the clones like geeetech ones have as bootloader.

i use linux. so what i did is install teensyduino and compile marlin for teensy ++2.0 and then use dfu-programmer to flash the hex file. i have herd that you can flash the lufa cdc boot loader and upload code directly to the printrboard with the arduino ide i haven't had any success with that.

The CDC/arduino process sucks; that's why I went to the trouble to re-flash the bootloader on my old boards to DFU. the FLIP process is quick and dead reliable, but irritating to dig out the .hex file.

Yes, the current printrboards from the mothership have DFU. Clones seem to have CDC on them. I really wish printerbot would add some dc power pins for fans and lights!

[giliammc]

What do you want the lights for? Have you tried useing the expansion pins

The panelolu2 cable occupies those pins. The Solidoodles have LED lights inside the case; quite nice. I have rigged up cables to power them. The Solidoodle version of printrboard (old, old, old) had pins for the lights.

[giliammc]

Are you using both of the expansion headers

Yes, the Panelolu2 adapter mates with all of the pins.

@shampine1 If you are not using the estop pin that might work

@shampine1 The estop pin number in marlin is 37.

@shampine1 it looks to me like the panelolu2 only uses 1 of the expansion ports

[shampine1]

It has an adapter that covers all the expansion pins. In any case, I've already solved the problem; just whining about it ;-)

[Lukelectro]

Okay, A lot has changed since I last looked at this... Is anybody using my fork or can I remove it, fork again and try to fix things that way? (I know that's not how you are suposed to use Git but I'm no git guru).

As for testing: I plan on trying the latest "RELEASE" (from marlinfirmware/marlin, not marlinfirmware/dev) and see if there are some issues that are no longer an isue. So they can be closed.

[Wackerbarth]

@Lukelectro -- Don't use "Release" for testing. That branch is the old 1.0 material that has actually been released. If you want to test something either work from RCBugFix (which is the latest 1.1 Release Candidate + some fixes) or go to the MarlinDev repository and test "master" or "dev" which is currently a little behind master, but I will be catching it up soon.

[shampine1]

I have a new printer running now; a highly modified Cobblebot with a 15" printing volume. It has a prox on it and I have been experimenting with mesh bed leveling. I've been running the Marlin RC from 9/29/2015, but I'll switch over to the latest rev tonight.

[jbrazio]

Thank you for your interest making Marlin better and reporting this issue but this topic has been open for a long period of time without any further development. Marlin has been under heavy development for the past couple of months and moving to it's last mile to finish the RC cycle and release Marlin v1.1.0. We suggest you to try out the latest RCBugfix branch and reopening this issue if required.
