Help with burning the firmware using FTDI module #3

Closed silverSY closed 4 years ago

silverSY commented 4 years ago

Hello @mstrens, excuse my ignorance but how can I burn the firmware using an FTDI module?, I don't have STlink programmer.

and does the 4th axis works nativle as a rotary axis on this firmware?

Thank you

I have no experience with FTDI for STM32 but have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVDSHQmTjfQ Look mainly at the second part where a Hex file is loaded with a FTDI. The Hex file can be generated with Atolic.

In order to use the 4th axis, you have to activate it in a file (config.h I think. It refers to something like A_AXIS, I would have to check). I do not know if it is handled as a linear axis or a rotary axis. Perhaps it depends on the letter used in the Gcode. Best is to try and see.

Thanks for your quick reply sir, I watched the video and I get it now, I need to know if the A-AXIS is linear or rotary and I don't have the knowledge to check the code to see by my self, I will burn the hex and test to see if I can get some information.

Thanks again sir I appreciate it.
