GNU/Linux Users, you can upload hex file using avrdude.
- Install arduino from your distro repos (Tested on Ubuntu 12.04)
- Download your new firmware for your board from: http://www.prusa3d.com/drivers/
- Extract
- Open a terminal and cd to extracted dir
- Upload by running (Change "3mm-RAMBo13a-PrusaNmk2.hex" to your board and extruder):
/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -v -patmega2560 -cstk500v2 -P/dev/ttyACM0 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:3mm-RAMBo13a-PrusaNmk2.hex:i
Under Linux I flashed the firmware .hex file with avrdude:
avrdude -c stk500v2 -b 115200 -p Atmega2560 -v -P /dev/ttyACM0 -D -U 1_75mm_MK2-RAMBo13a-E3Dv6full-3.0.8.hex
Even better would be compiling the firmware myself, but so far the Arduino project didn't want to be built..
I confirm it is working with avrdude on OSX too. Just uploaded doing: avrdude -c stk500v2 -b 115200 -p Atmega2560 -v -P /dev/tty.usbmodemFA131 -D -U 1_75mm_MK2-RAMBo13a-E3Dv6full.hex
To install avrdude: brew install avrdude --with-usb
You guys saved me here!....
With standard Arduino software install I was able to do:
$ pwd
/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin
$ ./avrdude -C ../etc/avrdude.conf -P /dev/tty.usbmodem1421 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:/Applications/Prusa3d/prusa3d_mac_1_7_5/1_75mm_MK2-RAMBo13a-E3Dv6full.hex -v -patmega2560 -cstk500v2
and now my printer is back to normal...
Anybody get continuous timeout messages doing this? This is from a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint. I did hit the "disconnect" button in the OctoPrint web interface to try to prevent port conflicts.
pi@octopi:~ $ avrdude -c stk500v2 -b 115200 -p Atmega2560 -v -P /dev/ttyACM0 -D -U flash:w:1_75mm_MK2-RAMBo13a-E3Dv6full.hex:i
