#Ramps 1.4 usb 2.0 serial driver update#

If your host is still connected to the board, you can not update a new firmware.

If the MOTHERBOARD setting does not match your board settings, you will get a corresponding error message.

But you can already ask firmware name with „M115“ or move the printer head a bit (no long distance before you set up the correct steps per mm for your axis). You can start your host software and connect to the board with the set baud rate. After it stops flickering, the upload is verified and then you see the message „Upload done“ in the IDE.Ĭongratulations! You just compiled and uploaded your first firmware. On most boards you will see a led starting to flicker.

After a while you see the length of the compiled firmware file and the upload starts.

That is the button with the arrow to the right.

Make sure the printer is connected and port and board type are set correctly.

Change the baud rate to match your preferences or leave it.

Near the bottom you see a line „#define BAUDRATE 250000“.

Search the line „#define MOTHERBOARD“ and change the number behind to match your board.

Open the register tab named „Configuration.h“.

The port can only be selected, if your printer is online and connected.įor a first successful upload, follow the next steps: Start the IDE and go to File->Open and select the file „Repetier.ino“ in the repetier subdirectory.īefore you can compile and upload the firmware, you need to select the board and port. Download the file and unpack the contents. All you need is to download the contents as a ZIP file. It is not necessary to clone the repository. To understand the IDE, you should now download the latest version of Repetier-Firmware. If you are a Windows user – I didn‘t mean you. Some board/OS combinations don‘t need a special driver.

#Ramps 1.4 usb 2.0 serial driver install#

That is the reason, you need to install the usb driver used on the board. The designer of the Arduino knew this problem and have added a usb->serial converter on board. Which is fine if your printer had a serial port. Not included are files for Gen 6, Sanguinololu, Gen7, Teensylu and Printrboard. If your board is not included, you need to install the missing device files. The IDE contains only the officially supported board driver. Follow the instruction on the Arduino site. The software is available for WIndows, Linux and Mac. Get your version of the Arduino IDE from. Don’t worry, it is easy and you won’t need special programming skills. First you need to get and install the development software.
