Hi all,
I just got a new Sanguinololu Rev 1.3a board for my old Huxley printer. (the old one was broken)
From what I understand I need to load the firmware and possibly a bootloader? I don't know anything about this kind of thing so I am completely in the dark. From what I understand if windows doesn't recognize the board then that means that there isn't a bootloader and I need some sort of programmer.
Though I hope some sort of luck is on my side as windows recognizes the board and is in the device manager as a comp-port. I have installed the FTDI driver too.
I assume now I need to use Arduino.exe to load the firmware (as far as I know that is Marlin) that I have downloaded from Github. Arduino.exe didn't have the board in the board manager but managed to install the Singuino settings and now I can see the board. Though I don't know if I am supposed to choose 8MHz or 16MHz?
From here I am completely stuck. From what I can see I must drag the Marlin directory/files into the Arduino program and then there are things that need to be changed to make it work with a Huxley? I have no idea if this is right and if it is, what needs to be changed or what to do next. I hope I don't have to do the bootloader as then I have to get some sort of programmer thing to burn it? Though this is just from a bunch of reading and I don't really know what I am doing. I just don't want to break anything. :)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
Much thanks.
Damian
