Issues flashing Davinci 1.0a to Repetier

[Amdivns]

Hi all,

Firstly - i'm admittedly a n00b when it comes to this sort of thing - however i'm quite able to follow instructions, and am a quick study (I work in IT Security, and build electronics hobby kits all the time - so this isn't a huge leap)

For reasons unbeknownst to me - I can't seem to flash my printer over to Repetier and wanted to check I was following all the steps correctly. Here's what I did.

Printer - DaVinci 1.0a (bought in 2014) with J37 jumper flash and micro SD

What I did:

Flashed printer on J37 jumpers

Installed Arduino 1.8.0.

I downloaded the Repetier firmware

I copied over the Hardware file from the firmware Zip over to the Arduino install directory on my C:// drive.

I opened the Repetier sketch and changed the configuration.h file correctly.

I ensured my com port and board type were set correctly (Com 9 and Arduino DUE/Native USB)

I verified the sketch then uploaded it.

Still getting black bars and have reflashed and attempted it again to no avail.

Am I missing anything or doing anything in the wrong order?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers!

yes variants.cpp and USBCore.cpp are not in arduino install directory check FAQ to get correct location another way is to use binaries of compiled FW from release

[luc-github]

any update ?

I am having the same problem with the 1.0A bought in 2016 (I think) using the latest release: Bossac -p com17 -R -e -w -v -b Davinci-1.0A-v0.92.10rc2d.bin

Any advice?

I also tried compiling and uploading with both 1.8.0 and 1.6.9, with the Due package version 1.6.8 with the same result. I have re-shorted J37 between attempts, and also tried the version 1.0 binaries and configuration via both methods, just in case.

[elipriaulx]

I just had success!

I'm not sure if any of the following are critical steps, but I have been logging my actions for my own sanity and after:

1. Short J37
2. Turn on Printer (connected to PC)
3. Turn off after 10 seconds
4. Remove Short
5. Turn on
6. Change COM configuration in Windows from 17 to 2.
7. Attempt to execute: Bossac -p com2 -R -e -w -v -b Davinci-1.0A-v0.92.10rc2d.bin
8. Observed failure: No device found on com2
9. Unplug printer from USB port
10. Re-plug printer
11. Verify COM2 setting
12. Attempt to execute: Bossac -p com2 -R -e -w -v -b Davinci-1.0A-v0.92.10rc2d.bin
13. Observe success
14. Load failsafe config and store on EEPROM

@gpriaulx please explain it to me better. Where do you have been putting the "bossac ...." commands? I have a Da vinci 1.0a (j37) I Followed your steps , other 2 youtube guides steps , installed all arduino version suggested , i tried the master and the dev branch but still nothing. In arduino console output it says

Verify successful done in 36.848 seconds Set boot flash true CPU reset.

But the 3d printer is still stuck at 2 bars on the screen. What should i do? Please help meee

Edit: done with bossac procedure

Hey, I have been trying to flash my printer for months now and all I want is for it to work. Id there anyway that I could find out what I'm doing wrong. I am 97% sure I'm not copying my files in the right location. Is there anyway I could send a video or screenshots of the process I follow and someone could walk me through it?

[luc-github]

@Jay1011 the way to find the path to copy is in FAQ here : https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92/issues/114 if you are not able to compile properly you can use the binary from here : https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92/releases/tag/v0.92.10rc2d and directly flash using bossac using proper port and target binary : bossac -p <your com port> -R -e -w -v -b <the binary for your printer>

[Jay1011]

Luc, I can't find bossac or any specified files. I just don't know none of them are in the specified paths,

[luc-github]

bossac is there C:\Users\<your user id>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\bossac\1.6.1-arduino

[Jay1011]

I've looked there and when I open "Appdata" all that is there on my laptop is a file labeled Microsoft

[luc-github]

did you installed due module ? FAQ https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92/issues/166

[Jay1011]

Luc, It's Working!!! thanks so much for everything. Now I just need to learn how to use it XD

[luc-github]

Ok I close issue as seems no feedback from original owner

@gpriaulx, I had a question on one of your commit? Can you spare 10 minutes to explain? feel free to reach me at eyerulul@gmail.com

Thank You!

Hello I've been having ALOT of trouble bouncing between forums and videos figuring out the hard way as to which method is outdated. I am trying to flash my XYZ Da Vinvi 1.0A printer with repetier host software so that I may print with 3rd party filaments and use the Cura slicer. I've tried every Arduino version including 1.8.0 and have always added the correct Board through manager and selected the native USB option. I have selected COM 4 as this is the printer connection and have entered 1 for both of the configuration options. I started by flashing the printer by shorting the J37 pins and achieved the 2 black bars. I have transferred the correct hardware files from the repetier folder into the arduino folder. When I verify the arduino code it says successful however every time I upload to the printer even if it results in the code saying "upload complete/successful" the USB becomes unrecognized by my computer and the only way to re-establish the printer as "COM 4" again is by reflashing by shorting J37 again. It's been an endless loop of failure for me and I can't quite find the solution. As I've read from above there is a "Bossa Procedure" however I can't quite seem to find anything to walk me through it. If anyone has any recccomendations, I'd very much appreciate it!

@CollinsCreations1 I did it with bossac method, with arduino method i couldn’t do it. You can follow @luc-github ‘s instruction above:

the way to find the path to copy is in FAQ here : #114 if you are not able to compile properly you can use the binary from here : https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92/releases/tag/v0.92.10rc2d and directly flash using bossac using proper port and target binary : bossac -p -R -e -w -v -b

Thanks @zipippino but Luc was actually able to help me with it on a seperate thread, appreciate the willingness!

Ok no problem. Just woke up and saw this thread reply in inbox :)
