3D Touch software not uploading from arduino IDE

[JaxenWP]

I recently bought the A20M and have everything assembled but i cannot figure out how to update the firmware to get the 3D touch sensor to work. I watched a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deq10MaxQBw on how to install and update the firmware but even copying everything he did exactly does not work for me. Does anybody know what i might be doing wrong?

Hi, You can try downloading the hex format firmware with 3d touch on the official website,
https://www.geeetech.com/download.html?download_id=33

Then upload it using the firmware toolkit,

Firmware Toolkit download link: https://www.geeetech.com/download.html?download_id=40

would i want to download the latest version of each software? also when i do download the latest files for each, it wont let me open the hex file

Hi, you just need to download is the firmware with 3d touch corresponding to your printer motherboard,
No need to open it,
Just unzip it and upload it according to the instructions of the firmware kit.

How do i know what motherboard my printer has? i think i have the 2nd version of the printer because the accents are white instead of blue.

Hi,You can remove the card from the printer and check the motherboard version.
The version of the motherboard is marked on it.

Most probably it can easily upload from arduino IDE but sometimes it shows the error while uploading https://www.upsers.run/
