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 copied to either the arduino install location "library" directory or the Ardunio sketchbook directory before the firmware will compile.
Once your library locations are set up properly, the instructions for installing Marlin from https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin are as follows:
"Configuring and compilation: Install the arduino software
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
