Firmware download
There is a firmware for our printers, adapted by German RepRap GmbH. To be able to install this
firmware on the Arduino board, the Arduino software version 1.0.x has to be loaded at first. It is
important to choose version 1.0.x.
If your 3DPrinter has no heated printing bed, you have to set the temperature of your heated bed to
“0” inside your printingsoftware (i.e. Repetier Host or Simplify3D)!
Otherwise your Hot-End wouldn´t heat up an you are unable to print!
Only
Mac OS X
After connecting the board via USB, a note appears that a new network connection was found. Click
the cancel (in German: Abbrechen) button here.
Detecting the Arduino board
Only Windows After connecting the board via USB, a Windows request appears, in which the drivers
can be selected for the installation. If this request does not appear, the drivers have to be updated
manually, via Control panel → Hardware and Sound → Device manager. Therefore please select the
following: Arduino Mega 2560 → right click → Properties → Driver update. Search for drivers on the
computer and select the path ..\arduino-1.0\drivers\FTDI USB Drivers.
