History

Scott Lahteine 7ec7bb31c4 Send a Busy signal to hosts during long processes, wait for input, etc If Marlin is blocking the serial input or command queue for any length of time (for example more than 2 seconds), it needs to send a message to serial out to inform the host that it is busy. Marlin should only send these messages out when busy, and preferably not when trying to print formatted output.		2016-03-18 22:38:35 -07:00

Felix 2.0/3.0 Configuration for Marlin Firmware

Bringing silky smooth prints to Felix.

Build HOWTO

Install the latest non-beta Arduino software IDE/toolset: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
Download the Marlin firmware
- Latest developement version
- Stable version
In both cases use the "Download Zip" button on the right.

cd Marlin/Marlin
cp example_configurations/Felix/Configuration_adv.h .

The next step depends on your setup:

Single Extruder Configuration

cp example_configurations/Felix/Configuration.h .

Dual Extruder Configuration

cp example_configurations/Felix/Configuration_DUAL.h Configuration.h

Compile Firmware

Start the Arduino IDE.
Select Tools -> Board -> Arduino Mega 2560
Select the correct serial port in Tools -> Serial Port (usually /dev/ttyUSB0)
Open Marlin.pde or .ino
Click the Verify/Compile button

Flash Firmware

Connected directly via USB

Click the Upload button. If all goes well the firmware is uploading

Remote update

Find the latest Arduino build:

ls -altr /tmp/
drwxr-xr-x 5 chrono users 12288 Mar 3 21:41 build6072035599686630843.tmp

Copy the firmware to your printer host:

scp /tmp/build6072035599686630843.tmp/Marlin.cpp.hex a.b.c.d:/tmp/

Connect to your printer host via ssh, stop Octoprint or any other service that may block your USB device and make sure you have avrdude installed, then run:

avrdude -C/etc/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -patmega2560 -cwiring -P/dev/ttyUSB0 \
-b115200 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/Marlin.cpp.hex:i
