Trying to update the firmware on the printer. We have the Sanguinolou board. Followed directions about unzipping the Merlin files and dragged/dropped the files into Arduino.

Dropped Marlin files into Arduino 1.0.5r2 (Downloaded from the site)
Selected Sanguino W/ ATMega1284p from Tools/Board (per instruction)
Selected Com3 for Serial port
Clicked on Upload arrow.
Getting the following error:

In file included from /Marlin.h:23,
from BlinkM.cpp:5:
/pins.h:1273:3: error: #error Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu.

Tried changing to Arduino Mega2560 or Mega ADK and uploading again

Getting a timeout

Binary sketch size: 52,348 bytes (of a 258,048 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

I am able to control the printer the Repetier. What are we doing wrong here?

Please make sure your mainboard type is Sanguinololu.
The error says:/pins.h:1273:3: error: #error Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu.

I think your mainboard type is Ramp1.4+Mega2560.

In looking at the boards on the website, and comparing, I'm nearly positive we have the Sanguinololu. Please let me know if I do not.

Yes, this is Sanguinololu. There must be something you do wrong. You can refer to this page to upload the firmware:

But I think there is no need to upload the firmware, because all the printers have been burnt the correct firmware before sending.

Is there a way to verify firmware version?

No version, because the firmware is open source.

Is there a way to verify that Merlin is what is already burned?

Sorry, I don't get your point.

Hi,

I'd like to share the solution for "The error says:/pins.h:1273:3: error: #error Oops! Make sure you have 'Arduino Mega' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu.", I'm using the Sanguinololu board + Atmega1284 16Mhz.

You should config as on this page"http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/ ... le_Burning" on the topic
" Get Started

Sanguinololu is the CPU of a 3D printer, manipulating the whole process of printing. Sanguinololu can’t be put in use directly without uploading firmware............."

Please try it and reload again. Hope this can help.

Finally got the firmware to upload to the device. Now LCD screen is not showing anything on the display except blocks. What happened? The Repetier software can still control the printer.
Also trying to set the home points on the printer.
