Geeetech

Ok This time this is going to work
I have downloaded Arduino 1.6.9
I have fixed the com 2 port
It is running Baud rate 250000
Now I will try to up load the firmware and see what happens

I have tried to up load the firmware but I got a fail
What am I doing wrong ?
I will bet that you did not think you run into somebody as stupid as me!!!!!

What kind of error message do you get?
Or what text appeares in the Arduino IDE console...

Because last time I tried to compile the Geeetech firmware I had issuses too. Can you try to compile it without uploading (the symbol next to upload (left))?
How far do you get? Compiling? Uploading?

And don't worry... You aren't dumb... It took me two days to get my chinese Arduino clone with an exotic serial-to-usb chipset to work with arduino IDE
And you managed to assemble a 3d printer right?

The Baud rate is only relevant if you use the arduino IDE terminal to send messages like the G or M codes...
For upload the Arduino IDE automatically determines the correct speed setting (its preprogrammed in the bootloader).

Now I get " invalid pre-processing directive #A

Ok thats an Compilation error (source code gets translated into machine code)
An preprocessing directive is something like "#define" or "#ifdef"
So its an fault of Geeetechs supplied firmware I think. Wait a minute, i will try to compile it and see where the error occurs...

Ok I'm getting compilation errors too...
I'll try to set up a version of marlin 1.1 for your board...

OK finished...
1) Unpack the .zip
2) Open Marlin.ino
3) Hit compile... Are there still any errors?
4) Upload and test (I don't know if the formware will work as expected so test it a bit / I can't test it because I don't have the same printer.)
5) Does the knob work now? (It might need 4 steps to jump from option to option)

Well Still no motors working
But LCD now says its a Ultimaker
So I think it's the wrong controller
But it did load the firmware
Finally some progress !!!!!

I think the LCD was a REPRAP DISCOUNT SMART CONTROLLER
