Software/Firmware installation

Post by Jorzuiz » Tue Apr 14, 2015 9:51 pm

Hi, i've been reading posts from this forum in order to install all the firmware that i need for my printer to run, but i have some problems.
My model is Acrilyc Prusa i3 with Ramps 1.4 and Arduino Mega 2560. What drivers do i need to install in Windows 7? What firmware do i have to burn? How do i burn it? How do i make the connection later with the RepetierHost?
As i said i've been reading some posts and cant understand it well because im not used to that complex tasks.
Thanks for the help.

1. The driver you need to install is Arduino Mega 2560.
2. The firmware you have to burn is for ramps1.4.
3. As for how to burn the firmware, you can refer to:
http://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic ... 14&t=16097
Sincerely hope this link will satisfy you.
4. How to connect the printer with Repetier:
1) Connect your printer to PC via USB cable.
2) Open Repetier, click "Printer setting" near top-right corner of Repetier, choose correct COM port(You can see it under Device management) and buad rate(250000).
3) Click "Connect" near top-left corner of Repetier.

Hope my answer will satisfy you.

When i drag all the files from the i3 firmware to the arduino executable it opens and repeat me dozens of times the error: "Processing can only open its own sketches and other files ending in .pde"
What should i do?

I've tried to upload the code and gives me this error:
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM3": Access denied.

avrdude: ser_drain(): read error: Controlador no válido.

Please try to upload with Arduino 1.0.1:

Choose correct Serial port before uploading.
