 Firmware Update

In Issue 76 Pages 15 – 16 are the instructions for “Updating the Printer Firmware” prior to Calibration. Follow these steps after downloading the “V3_Firmware_PC file“.

  1. Drill into folder arduino-0023
  2. Run Arduino (an old Alpha Build)
  3. Ignore “Update” prompt if it appears
  4. Click on File and navigate to folder “V3 software firmware/Sprinter Melzi”
  5. open **configuration.h file. (*see below for other 15 files in this directory)
  6. Select the Arduino board type “Sanguino W/ATmega 1284P 16Mhz“
  7. Select COMM port to which printer is connected (COMM3)
  8. Select “Upload” and wait for completion.

Now you can calibrate the V3 Printer.

The “Sanguino” is a third-party hardware add-on for the Arduino IDE.

To use it either use the Arduino board manager and add the following url: or simply create a folder named hardware inside your sketchbook directory. Now move the “Sanguino” directory inside that folder. The structure would look like this:

    • hardware/
      • Sanguino/
        • avr/
        • bootloaders/
        • variants/
        • README.md
        • boards.txt

Since the ATmega1284 is not supported by Avrdude. You will have to burn the bootloader manually from the command line. See this file for help: ATmega1284.md.
