install
"Arduino Software IDE"for your preferred operating system
https://www.arduino.cc -> Software->Downloads
it is strongly recommended to use older version"1.6.8", by which we can assure correct compilation results
note: in versions1.7.xand1.8.xthere are known some C/C++ compilator disasters, which disallow correct source code compilation (you can obtain"... internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at ..."error message, for example); we are not able to affect this situation afraid
note: in the case of persistent compilation problems, check the version of the currently used C/C++ compiler (GCC) - should be4.8.1; version can be verified by entering the command
avr-gcc --version
if you are not sure where the file is placed (depends on how"Arduino Software IDE"was installed), you can use the search feature within the file system
note: name collision for"LiquidCrystal"library known from previous versions is now obsolete (so there is no need to delete or rename original file/-s) -
add (
UltiMachine)RAMBoboard into the list of Arduino target boards
File->Preferences->Settings
into text field"Additional Boards Manager URLs"
type location
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ultimachine/ArduinoAddons/master/package_ultimachine_index.json"
or you can 'manually' modify the item
"boardsmanager.additional.urls=....."
at the file"preferences.txt"(this parameter allows you to write a comma-separated list of addresses)
note: you can find location of this file on your disk by following way:
File->Preferences->Settings("More preferences can be edited in file ...")
than do it
Tools->Board->BoardsManager
from viewed list select an item"RAMBo"(will probably be labeled as"RepRap Arduino-compatible Mother Board (RAMBo) by UltiMachine"
note: select this item for any variant of board used in printers'Prusa i3 MKx', that is forRAMBo-mini x.yandEINSy x.yto
'clicking' the item will display the installation button; select choice"1.0.1"from the list(last known version as of the date of issue of this document)
(after installation, the item is labeled as"INSTALLED"and can then be used for target board selection) -
modify platform.txt to enable float printf support:
"compiler.c.elf.flags=-w -Os -Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_flt -lm -Wl,--gc-sections"
place the source codes corresponding to your printer model obtained from the repository into the selected directory on your disk
https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/
in the subdirectory "Firmware/variants/" select the configuration file (.h) corresponding to your printer model, make copy named "Configuration_prusa.h" (or make simple renaming) and copy them into "Firmware/" directory
run "Arduino IDE"; select the file "Firmware.ino" from the subdirectory "Firmware/" at the location, where you placed the source codes
File->Open
make the desired code customizations; all changes are on your own risk!
select the target board "RAMBo"
Tools->Board->RAMBo
note: it is not possible to use any of the variants "Arduino Mega …", even though it is the same MCU
run the compilation
Sketch->Verify/Compile
upload the result code into the connected printer
Sketch->Upload
or you can also save the output code to the file (in so called HEX-format) "Firmware.ino.rambo.hex":
Sketch->ExportCompiledBinary
and then upload it to the printer using the program "FirmwareUpdater"
note: this file is created in the directory "Firmware/"
c++11 compiler e.g. g++ 6.3.1
cmake
build system - ninja or gnu make
Create folder where you want to build tests.
Example:
cd ..
mkdir Prusa-Firmware-test
Generate build scripts in target folder.
Example:
cd Prusa-Firmware-test
cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja" ../Prusa-Firmware
or for DEBUG build:
cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../Prusa-Firmware
Build it.
Example:
ninja
./tests
