Upgrading Zim Board for Octoprint

#1

Hi There

I wasn’t using my Zeepro for about 9 months due to sickness etc.
Now I noticed that this project has stopped due to tragic circumstances…anyway… I read that the way is to upgrade to Octopi.

After soldering USB ports, installing Raspberry PI’s etc I got it up and running.
BUT:

I still have the old version (1.1) on my zim board (which is connected via USB to the octopi).
3 questions:

  • HOW to upgrade the firmware -> because I miss my dual extruder in Octopi
  • What offset do I have to enter in octopi for the 2nd extruder?
  • Is there any special configuration I have to watch for?

greetings

-steven

ok, so far - Firmware upgrade worked by using:

Ok, yet another update - dual extruder found and so on…
what helped? --> using this firmware from @jpod.
Thanks!

but still:

  • What offset do I have to enter in octopi for the 2nd extruder?
  • Is there any special configuration I have to watch for?

This was posted in a previous tread, I believe the official values are 15mm x and 1.7mm y. I actually measured mine and came up with 15mm x and 1mm y. I’ve tried both, the 1mm y came out looking right (e.g. the output from the extruders aligned). I can’t explain the discrepancy because the firmware clearly uses 1.7mm for y, but using this value on mine seemed to show misalignment.

Hi all,
I am having trouble compling
Martin (Kingmartin @ Forum) Lauber - 20150727_(1.1.0.15)_OCTOPI_marlin-zeepro-master.zip
Can anyone help!

Arduino: 1.6.12 (Windows 10), Board: “Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)”

In file included from sketch\thermistortables.h:4:0,

This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Thanks,

Did you get this sorted? I had a similar issue and it was because I was using a newer version of Arduino. Once I went to an older version of Arduino I was able to compile.

#7

yes, thanks, The folder marlin need to be Marlin, the “m” need to be a cap “M”

#8

I am having some trouble with this as well . I tried the “M” in the file

… once I did that it started throwing some other code …
This was on the newest release of arduino 1.8.x
Going to try and downgrade the arduino see if that works. Which version did you end up using ?.
