This generates a directory with the entire code of the master branch of the repository.
You can also download the source by going to the FABlin GitHub page and using the “Download ZIP” button on the bottom
right.
Developing FABlin: version control
If you intend to develop the FABlin or bug fixes, then it is best that you create a GitHub account and use the “Fork” option
in the FABlin GitHub page. This creates a copy of the repository under your username. There you can develop anything
using the flexibility that GitHub provides and when you have something to share, you can ask for a pull request of your
branch.
Developing FABlin: The IDE
A convenient way of developing and compiling the source is to install the Arduino IDE from http://www.arduino.cc/.
It is not the only one, but certainly the most convenient (NB: version 1.06 seems to work, but 1.6.x does not).
Once you have the Arduino IDE installed, you can open the “.ino” file in FABlin to load the source code of the project. Then
you can do your edits and compile the code using the “checked” icon on the top left of the Arduino IDE window.
One thing to take into account when using the Arduino IDE is that compiling is detached from saving, you can compile a
modified file without saving it. However we prefer using an external editor (Kate, a linux UI editor), while we still use
Arduino IDE for compiling.
Before compiling, make sure you have selected the right target chip in the menu. The Totumduino has an ATMEGA 1280. If
you compile for another chip it won’t work.
The Arduino IDE generates a file with the same name as the project and extension “.cpp.hex” in the temporary directory.
In Linux is in /tmp/buildNNNNNNN/, in windows it is usually in “Windows/Users/me/Appdata/Local/Temp”.
The Arduino IDE generates one of this “build” folders for every execution and does not always clean up afterwards, so
always check the date and time of the generated firmware before uploading it or you may be uploading the wrong one (or
an old version).
Flashing the firmware
The easiest way to flash a new firmware is to upload it to /var/www/build/Marlin.cpp.hex and use the built-in flasher.
In Linux the procedure is as follows:
scp Marlin.cpp.hex root@fabtotum:/var/www/build
In Windows you should be able to use WinSCP to copy the file Marlin.cpp.hex to the directory /var/www/build/
Make sure the file name is “Marlin.cpp.hex”. Remember that Linux is case sensitive.
After having copied the firmware to the FABtotum, go to: http://[YOUR FABTOTUM IP]/recovery/flash.php and click on
Flash Local.
Wait until the web interface completes the operation successfully (it beeps a couple of times in between).
Flashing Firmware from the Raspberry Pi
Upload your firmware to /var/www/build/ and connect to your FABtotum with a ssh terminal (search Putty for Windows or
just open the Terminal on Linux/MacOS)
ssh: root@fabtotum
password: fabtotum
cd /var/www/build
/usr/bin/avrdude -D -q -V -p atmega1280 -C /etc/avrdude.conf -c arduino -b 57600 -P /dev/ttyAMA0 -U
