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?

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

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

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

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.
