Firmware not loading

[CJGerard]

Im stuck on page 145 in the build directions and when i got to upload the new settings i get this screen.

You have downloaded the RepetierMAX software from github and extracted the .ZIP file, right?

In the Arduino IDE application, use File->Open. Navigate into the RepetierMAX/Repetier folder and open Repetier.ino.

Now you'll see a whole bunch of pseudo-C++ source code.

Select your board and port as Gene describes, then hit Upload.

Something will happen. Hopefully, something good.

OK, I'm feeling stupid because evidently this is something relatively easy and I can't get it to work.

Using Arduino IDE version 0023 on windows. I am trying to install the new .91 firmware on a Rostock Max, Rambo 1.1, .80 firmware, shipped in May or June 2013.

When I do file->open and select Repetier.ino in the .91 repository, I get a popup with this error:

(TRIANGLE with a !) BAD FILE SELECTED
Processing can only open its own sketches and other files ending in .pde

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

First thing you need to do when you are ready to update is open arduino, then go to file>examples>eeprom>eeprom_clear and upload that little sketch first. That erases ALL eeprom values from any leftover firmware, so you know you are starting with a good clean fresh install.

After this is completed, you upload the firmware and this is directly from the Repetier Website:

All you need is to download the Firmware as a ZIP file. Download the file and unpack the contents. Start the IDE and go to File->Open and select the file „Repetier.pde“ in the repetier subdirectory.

Before you can compile and upload the firmware, you need to select the board and port. You do this in the Tools menu. Start with your board. The port can only be selected, if your printer is online and connected.

For a first successful upload, follow the next steps:

Make sure the printer is connected and port and board type are set correctly.
Press the upload button. That is the button with the arrow to the right.
After a while you see the length of the compiled firmware file and the upload starts. On most boards you will see a led starting to flicker. After it stops flickering, the upload is verified and then you see the message „Upload done“ in the IDE.

...but before you do any of that, upgrade the Arduino IDE to 1.0.5. 0023 is too old.

Good point, that one got by me. Thanks!

I thought there were compile problems with the 1.xx series of arduino. Is 1.0.5 what the cool kids are using now?

OK, I'll try that and report back.

However none of that changes the fact that there is no .pde file in the .zip I downloaded from github.

If there is no .pde then use the repetier.ino

as part of the upgrade to 1.0.5 I got a checkbox that said "associate application with .ino files ?" or something of that general gist. I left it checked for "yes" and finished installing the upgrade.

And after that, I can open the .ino and it looks like all the right bits are loading in the IDE. so that's progress! Now to try installing it on the machine.

PS i already exported my config and ran the "clear EEPROM" sketch so hopefully the rest of this should be straightforward.

Great, you should have no further problems uploading the new firmware.

The pde extension was dropped for ino when v1 came out I think.

just to close my loop here, I finished the firmware upgrade with 1.05 and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks guys-
