Hi guys, im trying to update the firmware on my new A10. I keep getting error code that says using typedef-name 'fpos_t' after struct

Im very new to this so any help would be appreciated. thanks ade

Hi
If you will use to FW 1.0.4. My advice is don’t do it. Its still a buggy. But if you still want to try use arduino ver 1.0.1

Hello.

You can use my own firmware based on Marlin 1.1.8: (Firmware files included in project)
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3020915

Or you can look to github: https://github.com/Geeetech3D

It looks like the "official" firmware for the A10 is broken and will not compile.I get a strange error starting with : Using the latest Arduino 1.8.6 and the official firmware posted on the forum.

It looks like the "official" firmware for the A10 is broken and will not compile.I get a strange error starting with :

Code: Select all

"In file included from sketch\Marlin.h:21:0,

                 from sketch\Marlin_main.cpp:30:

pins.h:1404:32: error: pasting "/*PIN that has to be turned on right after start, to keep power flowing.*/" and "_DDR" does not give a valid preprocessing token

Using the latest Arduino 1.8.6 and the official firmware posted on the forum.

Man i have the same issue...
Fortunately, I understand something electronically. except that my logic board was to be thrown away, due to the failure of the bootloader after the flash posted. Now I find myself with a printer that does not read the sd card. Then,I wanted to compile the marlin firmware on its own, but without touching any parameters , if I choose "check and compile" from the menu, here is the string of errors.

What I ask is: "how the hell did he compile it?"
Find the post here: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=61503&start=20
Or im stupid,or here someone like joke

Can I ask you if the sd card of the printer works?

Please check the FAQ viewtopic.php?f=96&t=61534
Marlin 1.0.x -- Arduino 1.0.5
Marlin 1.1.8 -- Arduino 1.8.5

you can’t just download something, compile them and believe it works.
The original firmware from here: download/file.php?id=4279 made with an very old version from Marlin and develop with an very old version from the Arduino-IDE. Maybe I think it’s version 1.0.1 or older….

You can’t compile the original Version 1.0.1 with Version 1.8.x

To develop a firmware you need to know about the included type of the mainboard. The A10 use a ATMEGA2560 CPU combined with a RAMPS1.4 + Ultimaker.
Download the firmware: download/file.php?id=4279
Unzip it into a folder named A10_OLD.

Download the actual version of Marlin: http://marlinfw.org/ now.
Unzip it into another folder named A10_NEW

You can open marlin.ino from A10_NEW with Arduino version 1.8.5 or higher now.
And everything has to be adjusted now!
In the configuration.h you need to define the correct mainboard. After that you need to setup the pinout into the right header file.
Are you using Ultimaker you need to setup the pin_Ultimaker.h with the correct pin numbers for the extruder, the endstops so on.
Into the folder A10_OLD you could see the setup from geeetech. You need to know that into the old version you found the pinout into pins.h only.
You can't copy files from A10_OLD to A10_NEW. Sometimes you get many many errors...

After setup the pinout, you need to setup the configuration.h again. Setup the display are you using, Character only, or full graphical or touch screen… Setup Jerks and PID, the dimensions of the printer, the functionality of the Endstops and Extruder continue over the fans.
You can setup more functionality to define autolevel with a sensor or manual level. Activating debugging to use M43 to watch the pinout. M42 to setup manually on and of input or output pins from the 2560 CPU……… and you need know somthing about the G-Code. The speech from mostly 3d printers...

always nice to compare with the A10_OLD folder and....into Arduino-IDE you need to activate all the libraries that Marlin use. Library for the display, the type of CPU and so on.

This is how programming works with a 3d printer.

Download - compile - to believe you did something yourself -
Change one value and watch the many errors you get....

Hi


Alex, would it be possible for you to prepare binary files for a few basic configurations?

The current situation is very troublesome for many users, not necessarily newcomers.

@kaktus

You mean .hex file? Yes.

I will push new smartto tool which can upgrade machine with .hex file at the same time but not today.

Yes, I think users don't have to compile the code themselves.
If they could download an already compiled file from the repository, it would be much easier to do so.



Facing further problems related to this. Files must be well described so that you know which one is related to which printer and its configuration.
