Hi Guys

I am still haveing trouble with the firmware

Can someone please send me or point me to a copy i can just load it up

Im vwery new at this programing stuff and I cant seem to get it right

I have downloaded the firmware for the GEEETECH Prusa I3 Pro B

but it seems to have an error and i cant figure out what or how to stop this error

Please help the printer was working ok when i put it together just had a problem with heat bed not getting up to max temp which is why i thought i would try firmware update I installed the wrong 1 at first and have since tried to install the correct 1 for my printer with no luck, I really need a step by step for my particular printer as ive tried the current instructions and have had no luck


thanks for any help

From what you said, i think it is not caused by the firmware.
Maybe the board has some issue.
Can you take a picture show the issue?

Hi thanks for your reply

what pics would you like the error i get with the firmware and the problem with the printer is all in the top post

the firmware error happes before i even connect to printer and i cant figure out what i need to do to fix it ?

thanks

Chris

I have managed to get the firmware uploaded the screen is now working correctly and no screaching

the problem i now have is that when i connect to the printer using the repetier software the connection button says its connected to printer but i cant control anything from the software, also i manage to manually can move all the axis from the lcd screen i can also heat up the bed manually.

but it wont print from the sd card or from the repetier software

what have i dont wrong and how do i fix this ?

thanks

Chris

Hi,I think you can reinstall the lastest version of Repetier Host to try again,and here is the download link:https://www.repetier.com/download-now/.Besides,changing the usb cable may make it work by Repeiter.
As to the SD printing,here are some tips for this case:
1、Use repetier to put files on SD-card and the G-codes have been also in root directory of SD-card.
2、Check your lcd and cable,make sure they have a good connetion.
3、Try to use some high end SD cards.
4、Reinstall the FTDI drivers.
Hope this can help.

these are the messages im getting when i try to print dont take3 any notice of the temps i did that manually and it was still cooling down

I can move all the xyze through the lcd switch manually but i cant get it to print from either the reipieter software or through SD card the message i get as you can see from the pics is it the count timer goes up when i set it to print from sd but that is all


any help would be apreciated i have tried to change baud rate makes no difference

thanks

chris

Change the USB cable. Try to use a good quality one and as short as possible. I had some similar issues...it was stopping in the middle of the print showing that communication error. The problem was the cable which was too long.

Hi Guys

Thanks to everyone for there input i have managed to resolve my problems and I am printing again with some good results.

ABS filament that im using is a bitch to get the settings right but im getting there

thanks again
