IDE Firmware (Beginner)

[blandified]

Hello!

I have been working with Tony through email and just registered here! Excited for the future! To begin, our team consists senior electrical engineering students with no gcode experience but a fairly competent programming background.

I'll keep this as brief as possible. My team is working on a school project for a 3D bioprinter and we are using the Duet Ethernet (which will be connected to a Rpi and then to a TBD touchscreen). We just purchased the board and while it comes in, we would like to familiarize ourselves with the firmware/code/software portion of the Duet.

Tony has provided me with the link to the firmware: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware

Tony has also informed us that Eclipse is the IDE that Duet/RepRapFirmware uses.

So what we would like to do is familiarize ourselves with the RepRapFirmware through the IDE Eclipse (assuming it is similar to C/netbeans, Unity/C#, and/or Matlab).

When I go to the download page, there are so many version of Eclipse I do not know which one to download to be able to edit the gcode/firmware.

You can see this here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/

Looking for some direction on this matter. Yes, I know this is an extremely basic question for most of you, but we all have humble beginnings and we are motivated to learn!

Thank you in advance!

I believe it is the c++ version you are after

I guess this is what you are looking for:

UPDATE:

Okay so I am following this guide here: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/BuildInstructions.md

I am stuck on Steps 6, 7, 8.

When I try to build either CoreNG and RepRapFirmware, I get the error

Error: Program "make" not found in PATH
PATH=[C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\7 2017-q4-major\arm-none-eabi\bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_161/bin/server;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_161/bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_161/lib/amd64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\TEC-IT\TBarCode\10.2;C:\Program Files\Common Files\TEC-IT\TBarCode\10.2;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client;c:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\PROGRA~2\IBM\CLIENT~1;C:\PROGRA~2\IBM\CLIENT~1\Shared;C:\PROGRA~2\IBM\CLIENT~1\Emulator;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\runtime\win64;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\bin;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\polyspace\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets\command;C:\Users\pvimaint\Desktop]

Here is a picture of the error message:

Looking for some insight.

Hopefully all the pictures I posted shows that I have been trying to research this and solve this on my own, but the similar threads to this problem have not resolved my issues.

Thanks!

As mentioned in the build instructions, you need to have a copy of the 'make' program on your PATH. However, you can probably make do without one if in the project properties you go to "C/C++ Build" and select "Builder type: Internal builder".
