Then you need to tell it what COM port your Arduino is connected to, look at Ports in the Tools menu.
Board has a list of all Arduino hardware that this program can work with, the Robo runs on the Mega 2560 so select "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560". To make Arduino talk to your Robo correctly, you need to tell it what hardware it will be communicating with. Disconnect Matter Control if it is already connected. Now you can connect your computer to the Robo with the USB cable, do not connect Matter Control to the Robo.

I found that the Simplif圓D software allows for much more control and i've seen a significant improvement in print quality while using this software, you should check it out. Larger pieces printed since then have been dimensionally accurate. The test pieces that I printed with the new firmware appeared to be too large on the z-axis, but I believe this is because of the layer height of the final layer.

Yes, the new firmware has a different value for the z axis steps and you should print a test cube to measure the dimensional accuracy of your prints after you update the firmware. This might be why you're interested in updating your firmware. Your robo was/is probably printing everything 10% too short. Use control+f keyboard command to search for these values, or just keep your eyes glued while scrolling down. Personally, I increased the max bed temp to 100 (#define BED_MAXTEMP 100)Īnd I fiddled with #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT You can look around on the forums for what useful things you can do by editing the configuration.h file. Once you move the firmware file into that directory, you should see this:Ĭlick on the sketchbook listed there, another arduino window will open you'll see this: It is probably the same on your computer, but if it is not, you can find the directory in Arduino if you click File, Preferences, and it should say at the top of the window that pops up. On my computer it was C:\Users\\Documents\Arduino To open your Robo firmware, you need to move the file you just unzipped into that directory. The Arduino program has a certain directory where it looks for Arduino "sketchbooks", like a library.

zip to your desktop of whatever convenient location you want. Once you have a copy of the latest firmware appropriate for your machine, you can use the Arduino software to look into the Robo firmware, edit values if you want, and then upload it to the Arduino controller in the Robo. When you click the link for your firmware, you'll get a grey/black screen with a white box, the download button is the symbol in the top black section and it looks like a downward facing arrow standing on a horizontal bar. Sorry i dont know exactly when the 8mm version started shipping, maybe someone here can fill us in. If you got your printer recently then it will be the Auto leveling 8mm rod version.

This is the code that Robo made to control the Arduino board and it must be downloaded from Robo, here: Once you have that, you need the Robo 3D firmware. You need the Arduino programming software to send new firmware to Arduino devices. Ta-da! The code that governs this hardware is called firmware. The main application for Arduino devices is for building the control systems for robots, such as, a 3D printer. It's really not hard.įirst: what is Arduino? Arduino is a tech company that builds universal devices that can be programmed by the user to do whatever they need. I will attempt to make this process as clear as possible. There are existing tutorials out there but as the Robo has changed so much during its development, some of the information is out of date and some information is just missing. Hello, I'm guessing you're here because you're apparently the only person on this planet that doesnt know how to use arduino to update the robo firmware.
