PR #5792 on 9 FEB 2017 implemented default drive percentages but only on the RIGIDBOARD V2. This change moves the default settings to Configuration_adv.h. Also, ultralcd.cpp won't compile because of a type def conflict. Changed it to match the one in stepper_dac.cpp =========================================================== reword stepper curent section for clarity =========================================================== change name & improve comments =========================================================== changed name from A4JP to SCOOVO_X9H per PR #6139 # This is the commit message #2: fix typo		2017-04-06 16:16:27 -05:00

Felix 2.0/3.0 Configuration for Marlin Firmware

Bringing silky smooth prints to Felix.

Build HOWTO

Install the latest non-beta Arduino software IDE/toolset: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
Download the Marlin firmware
- Latest developement version
- Stable version
In both cases use the "Download Zip" button on the right.

cd Marlin/Marlin
cp example_configurations/Felix/Configuration_adv.h .

The next step depends on your setup:

Single Extruder Configuration

cp example_configurations/Felix/Configuration.h .

Dual Extruder Configuration

cp example_configurations/Felix/DUAL/Configuration.h Configuration.h

Compile Firmware

Start the Arduino IDE.
Select Tools -> Board -> Arduino Mega 2560
Select the correct serial port in Tools -> Serial Port (usually /dev/ttyUSB0)
Open Marlin.pde or .ino
Click the Verify/Compile button

Flash Firmware

Connected directly via USB

Click the Upload button. If all goes well the firmware is uploading

Remote update

Find the latest Arduino build:

ls -altr /tmp/
drwxr-xr-x 5 chrono users 12288 Mar 3 21:41 build6072035599686630843.tmp

Copy the firmware to your printer host:

scp /tmp/build6072035599686630843.tmp/Marlin.cpp.hex a.b.c.d:/tmp/

Connect to your printer host via ssh, stop Octoprint or any other service that may block your USB device and make sure you have avrdude installed, then run:

avrdude -C/etc/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -patmega2560 -cwiring -P/dev/ttyUSB0 \
-b115200 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/Marlin.cpp.hex:i
