[SOLVED] Can't update firmware on UM2 - I think I've checked all the obvious stuff!

Posted (edited) · [SOLVED] Can't update firmware on UM2 - I think I've checked all the obvious stuff!

Hi everyone. Any and all help would be much appreciated, as I am slightly worried about my little printer!

Cura does not recognise my UM2. I'd like to think I've checked the obvious stuff. I have...

- Tried several different cables.

- Tried 3 versions of Cura (2.4, 2.5, 15.04.6, 15.04.5 in that order).

- Tried above versions on both Windows and Linux computers.

- Using Linux I have checked with "lsusb" that the printer is recognised, and it is - Arduino SA Mega 2560 (CDC ACM).

So the printer is currently on...

"March 17 2016 13:20:06 - Vers:_15.04.5"

Any ideas please? My UM2+ Upgrade Kit arrived today and am just about to do the hardware upgrade, and I see the instructions are quite adamant about doing a firmware upgrade!

Cheers,

Matt.

    If you're on linux, rather than lsusb, try dmesg and see what it gives you.

    I get:

    Also, what kind of USB ports are you using? Not sure if anyone has experienced issues with 3.0 on the Ultimakers, but a lot of Arduino people have had trouble with some chipsets.

    As for the USB ports, I'm using my wife's old laptop (with Mint) so I'm pretty sure that won't be USB 3.0 - the ports aren't blue.

    Any other ideas?

    Well to me it looks like your machine is not loading the driver.

    Try:

    sudo modprobe cdc_acm
    lsmod | grep cdc
    

    Then plug the ultimaker USB back in and see if dmesg gives you a little more this time.

    I feel physically sick. Just tried to contact the guy I bought the printer from, and his eBay account has been closed. He had told me his thingiverse username, and by pure chance I happened to see the same name on these forums when googling the price of new mainboards - his name is @spiracy

    Check out these threads...

    https://ultimaker.com/en/community/11294-ultimaker-2-sos

    https://ultimaker.com/en/community/11492-ultimaker-2-main-board

    Really worried I've been sold a duff printer here. Paid £920 for it.

    I'm going to open it up and see what the mainboard looks like, maybe it's been replaced with a cheap copy or something?

    Alright, can you try plugging it in again and checking what's in

    /sys/bus/usb/drivers/cdc_acm/

    Assuming you're getting the same "cdc_acm 7-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device" there should be a directory called 7-1:1.0 there. Otherwise I'm guessing definitely a driver problem.

    I'm looking at the mainboard now - it's genuine at least.

    I'll put it back together and check what you suggested shortly.

    Thank you.

    Yeah just

    rmmod cdc_acm

    modprobe cdc_acm

    ... just to be on the safe side.

    So it looks like it's there.

    Hmm. I think I'm barking up the wrong tree. It's odd though. Has it ever worked for you, I mean is it the first time you try uploading new firmware on it? Also, have you ever tried printing from USB instead of the SD card?

    No it's never worked. Had the printer about a month.

    I have been using the printer solidly for a month and I was very happy with it. It seems to print just fine.

    Those threads from @spiracy were in March 2015 and the current version is March 2016... So he either managed to update it, or it's a brand new mainboard I'm guessing. But I don't know.

    Never tried printing from USB. Why do you ask?

    Basically, I just figured it would be a way to see if the USB interface is in fact functional. If you can print directly from Cura via USB, then it must be. In which case you might have a bootloader problem on the ATMEGA2560 on the main board.

    I would be tempted to say to re-flash the boot loader through the ICSP header, but if it is broken, how was the initial firmware loaded?

    A shot in the dark: I appreciate usbcore is not registering the device, but we have

     

    [  115.383050] cdc_acm 7-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

     

    Is /dev/ttyACM0 created?

    If yes, we could try to flash the firmware with avrdude (I always use avrdude to flash my firmware as I have a Rasberry Pi connected to my printers). It probably won't work, but it is easy to try...

    Also a very basic question: can you confirm your printer is powered on when you attach the USB cable (I am not sure for the Ultiboard 2, but on the old Ultimaker the Arduino gets power from the USB, so it answers even when the printer off...)

    Well, it certainly wouldn't be the first time an arduino bootloader got screwed up for some unclear reason. In my time playing with various Atmel parts and Arduino, it's happened to me at least a dozen times. In any case, I think flashing from the onboard headers would be a very good idea. Was actually going to make a how-to concerning that at some point since there seems to be little step-by-step instruction available for the UM2 board.

    Hmm. I must admit I'm very much out of practise with driver binding these days, but I figured since we get

     

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 20 20:26 driver -> ../../../../../../bus/usb/drivers/cdc_acm

     

    something must be going right?

    The UM2 board is dead as a hammer when only connected to USB.

    In case it helps, here is how I flash firmware with avrdude (works for both UltiBoards 1.5.x and 2.1.x)

     

    Port="/dev/ttyACM0"HexFile="MarlinUltimaker...."  # Your firmware fileavrdude -C /etc/avrdude.conf -v -p atmega2560 -c wiring -P "${Port}" -b 115200 -D -U "flash:w:${HexFile}:i"

     

    There is a demo of this method in this (boring) video (at 5:00):

     

    (It is on an UMO+ which has the same board as the UM2)

    Definitely worth a try. You never know!

    Regardless of whether or not it works, that's a super useful post for the tinkerers. :D

    Off topic - why does the forum insist on indenting the first line of code?

Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
