Sanguinololu Rev 1.3a Firmware

[john]

Hi Troy,
It is not very difficult to upload firmware, We also have an instruction on our wiki page, here is the link:

John,
I am sure you mean well, and I would assume that for someone who has already been shown how to successfully upload firmware it may not be difficult. So from the perspective of someone who has not been shown, nor has been successful allow me to describe the difficulty I have with your "procedure".

1. You show under the section "File Burning" a photo... that indicates you are using Arduino 1.01. Yet the Arduino link you provide has you download Arduino 1.05. Thus from step 1 your procedure differs from what I am starting with.

2. Step 1 of the file burning procedure has you verify the Sanguinolo board and com port. You offer no instructions on how to import the Sanguinolo board library into Arduino, yet it is not part of the Arduino version downloaded on the page you linked.

3. Step 1 of the file burn procedure show a photo of the Arduino with multiple tabs showing the sketch configuration. You offer no instructions on how configure the Arduino to match this sketch configuration.

4. Step 3 of the file burn procedure instructs you to "Click the check“ Button1.jpg” button to check if it is right". Right here is where I am stuck. Every way I try to configure the Arduino sketch I get validation errors and I am unable to resolve this.

So your procedure was written using a different version of SW than what is offered for download, and you have no instructions on how to configure the SW to match what is shown in your procedure... and you are surprised people struggle to duplicate your success? You and I have a different definition of what "Instructions" should be written like. The instructions you have provided are not as simple as you suggest.

So after working the past 3 days on learning Arduino I have gotten to the point where I can using the FW provided by Rita compile a sketch without errors. Yet when I try to download to the Sanguinololu board I receive an error: AVRdude: stk500_GetSync():not in sync: resp=0x00

any advice on how to fix this error?

Did you select Tools\board\sanguino ATmega1264p 16mhz and right Serial Port?

[my900ss]

John,
Yes, I have the Tools\Board\Sanguino ATmega1264p 16mhz selected along with comm 2. I verified comm 2 is correct under Control Panel\Device Manager. This comm port displays and disappears as I plug or unplug the USB cable connected to the Sanguino board.

Regards,

Troy

Okay, Please contact to our customer service for a replacement. Give them your order number and whare you bought it.

I am having a similar problem trying to upload the firmware. I have the Arduino software version installed that W/ATmega1284p selected, the compile fails saying I need to use the Arduino Mega instead. It allows me to compile the firmware with the Arduino Mega 2560 but when it tries to upload, I get several errors that say it timed out:

Binary sketch size: 52,348 bytes (of a 258,048 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer

I have powered off and back on the power, reconnected the USB and even tried another USB port same problem. I have the correct COM port (COM30) selected. Please help.

Do you use firmware for Sanguinololu?

[cgrothrock]

Perhaps I am doing something wrong. I use the Arduino program to open up the marlin.pde file then try the compile. If this is incorrect, please tell me exactly what I am supposed to do.

You should drag all the files into Arduino IDE.
