Software
We recommend using Arduino IDE version 1.0.5 to load the firmware into Gigabot's brain (aka Azteeg X3 controller board).
There are two versions of the firmware:
No heated bed. Download version (V3.1)
Heated bed: Download version (V3.3)
You need to have Arduino set up correctly to perform this upload to your Gigabot. Whether you are on a Mac, PC, or Linux operating system, the Marlin library files, along with the supporting libraries for the LCD display, need to be downloaded before the firmware will compile.
Configuring and compilation
- Install the Arduino software
- Open Arduino and go to File-> Preferences. Under "Sketchbook Location" click on Browse. Navigate to the Arduino Sketchbook folder you downloaded above
Start the arduino IDE. Select Tools -> Board -> Arduino Mega 2560 or your microcontroller Select the correct serial port in Tools ->Serial Port Open Marlin.pde
Click the Verify/Compile button
Click the Upload button If all goes well the firmware is uploading
