Firmware installation

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:

• Non heated bed. Download version (V3.1)

• Heated bed: Download version (V3.3)

You will also need the supporting libraries for the LCD display: Arduino Sketchbook.zip

Configuring and compilation

• Install the Arduino software

• Unzip the Arduino Sketchbook.zip

• Open Arduino and go to File-> Preferences. Under "Sketchbook Location" click on Browse. Navigate to the Arduino Sketchbook folder you unzipped 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
