How to add firmware to my Formbot Troodon 3D printer
-
@oliof Thank you very much. I will see if I can find that.
-
@RJ-0 Do I need to sign up to GitHub to access that info?
-
@RJ-0 no. Here is the link I had in mind https://github.com/InsanityAutomation/FormbotTroodon -- please be advised that this is for a relatively old version of RepRapFirmware and you will need to do some adjustments to make it work with RepRapFirmware 3.4. Some Troodon users are here on the forum and may have an adjusted version.

@oliof Thank you very much for the info. What is the only way to download this stuff back into the printer? Can it be done thru transfer from a SD card?
-
@RJ-0 I have no Wifi capability since i did the factory reset.
-
If it's just like the Duet 2, then you would have to use a USB connection to your computer and use software called BOSSA to flash the firmware back onto the board.

@Phaedrux So the board will have to be removed?
-
I'm not sure about that, but you'd at least need to be able to get a USB cable to the board.
-
@Phaedrux I had to remove the board in order to access the micro usb connection on it. Last question lol. Does the board have to be powered up (printer on) to do this or can i just do this with the board laying on my table plugged up to computer?
-
Plugging it in via USB should work I think. It does for a Duet board anyway.

@Phaedrux Thanks so much for the help. Will try and let you know.
