How to install the firmware for GT2560
Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2015 3:19 pm
Hi guys, recently I find some newcomers in 3D printers don't quite know how to install the firmware for GT2560 board, so today I'll show it here~~
To install the firmware, you'll gonna need Arduino 1.0.1 for old version marlin firmware (or Arduino 1.8.5 for Marlin 1.1.8), your firmware, your motherboard with a USB and that's all.
You can download the firmware for your printer here:

Let's get start for GT2560~~~~~~~~~~

1. Install Arduino on your PC.
If your printer is A10/A10M/A20/A20M, please use Arduino 1.8.5 to finish the upload;
If it is Prusa I3 Pro B/W/X/C, please go for Arduino 1.0.1!!
Otherwise, you might get some bugs during the verifying.
Download Arduino 1.0.1 or Arduino 1.8.5 here:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftw ... s#previous
2. Connect the printer to the PC with your USB cable.
3. Unzip the firmware.
Here we take firmware for I3 pro C dual extruder for example.
The process for A10/A20 series is quite similar, except the Arduino in a different version. Also, this video shows you the example:

4. double click the Marlin.ino, then you'll open the whole firmware in the arduino.
5. Select proper Com port.
6. Under Tools, in Board, select Mega 2560 .
7. Finally click the arrow to compile and upload the firmware to your printer.

If your PC is MAC(OSX sierra or more high version)
1.Refer to this website at first
