    The pinter cord port fail on the printer requiring replacement of the MEGA 2560 board. This requires a upload for the firmware. I have tried to upload using Arduino 1.8.1. I get error codes. So I have tried Arduino 1.6.9. Following upload steps is fine until ..File...Sketchbook....Arduino 1.6.9..then another drop down menu opens listing many options.

    Can anyone guild me to properly upload firmware to the new Mega 2560.Do I have the correct version, am I missing a step somewhere?

    Thank you

    I have a R1 Plus. Is 1.6.9 Arduino the correct firmware to upload? The error message for 1.8.1 is

    I do not get an error trying the upload now. When following the instructions as outlined in Arduino the drop down box has multiple items.

    Why are you messing with Sketchbook at all.
    Here is a rough outline of the steps.

    1. Go to the directory that you have your firmware located and double-click on Marlin.ino, that will load the Arduino compiler and all the necessary files into the Arduino IDE.
    2. Click on Tools and make sure you have Board set to "Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560"
    3. Make sure Processor is set to "ATMega2560 (Mega 2560)"
    4. Make sure Port is the correct "COM" port that the USB driver is using
    5. Make sure Programmer is set to "AVRISP Mk II"
    6. I usually verify first to make sure it compiles without error, if you do the same just click on the icon that looks like a checkmark.
    7. If it verifies properly with no errors, then click on the icon that is a right facing arrow. That will recompile and upload to the Arduino.
