I3 Pro W, MAC OS Catalina & Firmware upgrade

Post by grandawoo » Mon Nov 18, 2019 7:36 am

Hi All, I have a Macbook which i have stupidly updated and now it won't let me use 32bit programs so does anyone know how I can use Arduino, Version number please, to revert my firmware back to stock on my pro W. I need to do this because the genuine BL Touch has become unreliable and I would like to use the original levelling set up.

Thanks in anticipation

It can be downloaded from here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17046

Hi William, I have tried this but arduino 1.0.1 will not work on a mac which has been upgraded to os catalina. Is there a hex file for this firmware I could upload using Cura??

I cannot see another way of doing this

Thanks

Just in case you not fixed it. Download marlin 1.1.9 from the marlinfw.org site. There is a configuration.h and configuration-adv.h in the examples folder for the i3pro. Download the firmware from Geeetech, and compare the two files. The Marlin file is setup for autoleveling. Also look at the install instructions for the auto leveler, and compare those. The only real difference is the pins.h file is not there in 1.1.9 but uses a define to set the correct pins. most of the time just comment out #define bltouch. ( \\#define bltouch ).

Marlin 1.1.9 compiles using a Mac and Arduino 1.8.5.
