Updating Firmware old machine?

Posted · Updating Firmware old machine?

I'm looking to update the firmware of an older ultimaker I have.. I think it has the 2560 atmega installed.

when I look at cura it says I cant as it it doesn't support my config (heated bed)

and also warns that I must have the extruder upgrade.

Is the extruder upgrade warning, just due to the different e-steps with the newer V3 bolt? or something else.

So i'm looking to use http://marlinbuilder.robotfuzz.com/ and construct the custom hex. would this be ok on an older machine, if I just change the esteps, until my new V3 bolt arrives?

Thanks for a stunning forum btw ;-)

    The E-steps in the firmware don't really matter if you set them in Cura machine settings. Those will override any value in the firmware, and the firmware from marlinbuilder should work just fine with your machine.

    You should be fine. Do you have the old hex file in case you want to go back to an older version again?

    robotfuzz works quite well. yes I suspect the only thing is the steps/mm for extruder. So you can calibrate that and set it to whatever you want.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. 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.
