How to update UM2 firmware

Yes, I did so but Pronterface still just shows rubbish.

correct baud rate is 250000

In addition you have to find the correct COM port of course.

 

But USB cables highly differ in quality. There are even cables "for charging only". So  - if you have the choice - try a different cable first. Preferable one with ferrite cores.

Hi Simon,

 

You may have a problem with the USB to Serial conversion, to fix this it is better to use Arduino.

Here is some picture s of how to do it:

 

When setting up Arduino select card type first. Select tools, then card type.

 

Next, tools again and then Port. Here it's show only Com 1.

 

Now you connect your printer and you should get this -but maybe another com port number.

 

The above see your printer, but it is not connected.

 

But when you select the printer it will connect, shown like this.

 

This example is with my UM2 ext.

You should be able to use this one..

 

When you see it connect, then exit Arduino and try Pronterface.

 

Good luck.

 

Thanks

it worked right now but(of course) there is a Problem about the hex  file... does someone have a link wehere I can download Xloader?

Use Cura 15.04.5 like this.

 

 

Just connect your printer and install default firmware.

 

Thanks
