troubleshooting firmware update

Just installed the E3D on my R1 + Trying to upload the Lead Screw Update Firmware but keep getting this error:

Arduino: 1.6.11 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

Please help!

 

Probably need this in another thread, but it is an easy fix. Just open up arduino ide with the firmware and do a globel search and replace. You do this by doing ctrl-f and select the box for search all tabs. Then search for fpos_t and replace with filepos_t. Recompile and you will be all set. I put those instructions on the firmware download page under comments, but I don't think people read those. It is a change in the new versions of the arduino ide software that is doing this. The newer releases of the Marlin firmware have that struct named filepos_t so this won't have any negative affect on your firmware. Cheers!

 

Yes the INO will open into the arduino IDE...sorry that isn't a term everyone is used to. So you did ctrl-f to open up the find window with the full sketchbook (firmware files) open and it found nothing? Did you make sure to have the "Search all Sketch Tabs" checked like below?

 

I am using the XXL LCD display......is there a way to run those commands in side the arduino software...i can't seem to get matter control to connect to my printer

 

So the arduino software is able to connect, but you are unable with matter control? Maybe matter control has the wrong com port defined? Is this the first time updating the firmware?

 

The arduino seems to be connecting since it lets me upload. Yes. this is my first time updating firmware

 

ok so check the com port setting you have selected in each and make sure they are the same.

 

Ran the the upload again and the display finally came up...is there a way to see if it actually updated....everything looks like it originally did?

 

Well that's great. I bet you feel relieved to have it working again. Your question is a very good one. Since with the V6 install you only needed to change the thermistor type it makes it hard to know it took. I started a habit of changing CUSTOM_MENDEL_NAME variable in the Configuration.h tab to something meaningful to my change. So if you change it from ROBOR1PLUSV1 to something like below it might help when you are done uploading and sending the two commands M502, M500 you can then see the name you gave it show up on the XXL LCD.

#define CUSTOM_MENDEL_NAME "ROBOR1+E3DV6"

 

So the root of the issue with the newer versions of Arduino is that they already define an object named fpos_t in one of the global files installed with Arduino called stdio.h. I highlighted the path in red below to the stdio.h file on your machine. This has been an issue with many users online switching to the new arduino and compiling the older Marlin based firmwares. That is why the new versions of Marlin have switched to using filepos_t for the struct name instead. If Robo just made this small tweak to their published firmware versions, then no on else would have the issues you had with originally loading the firmware. Again, glad you were able to get this cleared up and I hope this thread ends up helping others on this forum. Cheers!

Or you just download an older version of Arduino. Problem Solved

I also change the CUSTOM_MENDEL_NAME whenever I upload a newer version, with a simple revision scheme.

 

Yeah but who wants to go backwards when you can just fix the issue in the new version and move forwards haha
