Felix 2.0/3.0 Configuration for Marlin Firmware

Bringing silky smooth prints to Felix.

Build HOWTO

• Install the latest non-beta Arduino software IDE/toolset: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
• Download the Marlin firmware
  • Latest developement version
  • Stable version
• In both cases use the "Download Zip" button on the right.

cd Marlin/Marlin
cp example_configurations/Felix/Configuration_adv.h .

The next step depends on your setup:

Single Extruder Configuration

cp example_configurations/Felix/Configuration.h .

Dual Extruder Configuration

cp example_configurations/Felix/DUAL/Configuration.h Configuration.h

Compile Firmware

• Start the Arduino IDE.
• Select Tools -> Board -> Arduino Mega 2560
• Select the correct serial port in Tools -> Serial Port (usually /dev/ttyUSB0)
• Open Marlin.pde or .ino
• Click the Verify/Compile button

Flash Firmware

Connected directly via USB

• Click the Upload button. If all goes well the firmware is uploading

Remote update

Find the latest Arduino build:

ls -altr /tmp/
drwxr-xr-x 5 chrono users 12288 Mar 3 21:41 build6072035599686630843.tmp

Copy the firmware to your printer host:

scp /tmp/build6072035599686630843.tmp/Marlin.cpp.hex a.b.c.d:/tmp/

Connect to your printer host via ssh, stop Octoprint or any other service that may block your USB device and make sure you have avrdude installed, then run:

avrdude -C/etc/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -patmega2560 -cwiring -P/dev/ttyUSB0 \
-b115200 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/Marlin.cpp.hex:i
