One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows  

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

Nicely done. I have downloaded this to test. There is a small problem with the Prusa Firmware Development shortcut that you created. You need to include quotes around the path to the firmware.ino or it won't find it. I looked at the ps1 file and it seems like you have them there but it isn't transferring to the shortcut.

Here's what mine looked like before I changed it so it would work...

"G:\downloads\3d Printing\Prusa MK2\Get-PrusaFwDevEnv-master\Prusa-Firmware\arduino-1.6.8\arduino.exe" G:\downloads\3d Printing\Prusa MK2\Get-PrusaFwDevEnv-master\Prusa-Firmware\Prusa-Firmware-MK2\Firmware\Firmware.ino

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

awesome, a big THANK YOU.
didn't need to change anything... worked right "out of the box" here (no problems with the shortcut).

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

Big thanks.. I always wanted to try out some changes in the firmware, but could never be bothered trying to get it all setup. I am a bit lazy at times 😉

Will give your script a try shortly 🙂

Great catch and thanks for pointing it out! I've updated the scripts to correctly handle quoting upon shortcut creation so that it works in paths with spaces. I've also added the ability to select a RAMBo variant in the event that you have a RAMBo Mini 1.0 in your printer.

This is just great! It creates a nice separate installation of Arduino without replacing the system wide one. Thumbs up.

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

Sounds good, although I lack understanding (so far) why (and how) I would want to modify the firmware. 😀

But, I'm going to need this eventually I think, although I'll be wearing a frown booting into Windows.

Would someone give Allen a medal ?

This is awesome !

menue timeout parameter ?

don't want to set up a dedicated thread for my question, so i hijack this one for good purposes 😈

❓
does anybody know where i can find the parameter that determines the inactivity timout when accessing sub-menues.
for example: when i use the -> calibrate -> show endstops sub-menue, i will fall back to the main menue after a few seconds.
same with other sub-menues, like axis movement.

➡ so i'd like to increase the responsible value.... but i couldn't find it.

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

Think it's

#define LCD_UPDATE_INTERVAL 100
#define LCD_TIMEOUT_TO_STATUS 15000

in ultralcd.h

Tho' can't test it at the mo.

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

aaahh... inside the ultralcd.h.
that seems to be the parameter, it would fit the actual 15 seconds timeout.
i'm going to test it immediately.

thanks a lot !

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

did it work?

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

yes.
i altered the value from 15000 to 120000 [milliseconds], which suits me much better.

This is about the greatest thing thing since the wheel was invented. Thank you!

Quick question: If I need to download the newest firmware, can I just replace the content in "Prusa-Firmware-MK2" with the newest uncompiled release?

Yes. Just make sure to copy the correct version of your printer from the Variants folder to the Firmware folder and rename it to Configuration_prusa.h

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

Testing atm, anyway thank You for sharing 🙂

Thanks! Needed a way to turn off the lcd beeping and now I can!

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

Hi, I'm trying to adjust the Zmin height to accommodate the E3D Volcano hot end I installed so it doesn't crash into the bed during calibration, but I can't seem to get the software to compile. Even without any of my own modifications, I can't get it to compile. My programming skills are admittedly a bit antiquated, but I think I could muddle through this if I could just get the original files to compile.

Awesome utility though! Worked strait away and saved me a lot of trouble! Well done!

Thanks!

Re: One-click script to modify and compile Mk2 firmware on Windows

Awesome utility! Found this very useful.

It didn't work for me first time. I suspect this is either due to the fact that it can't handle spaces in filenames or something else. After keeping it in a simple path (c;\dev\Get-PrusaFW) it works just fine...

Hi,

Pursa uses now Adrunio IDE 1.8.x to compile. Checkout https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/prusa-i3-kit-building-calibrating-first-print-main-f6/compiling-on-latest-arduino-ide-t6211.html#p43518
