I need a Python with a C+ GPA.

Hi all newbie to forums. I did read some of the stickies prior to post.

I know nodda about programming period. I am wrestling with a problem that is probably quite simple to fix.

I added a heated bed to my printer, aquired the firmware for the printer from the MFR, and quite easily enabled the heat bed in the config.H file using the IDE. Easy so far. De-bugged the program and it compiles.

The problem:
Sketch too big; see http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#size for tips on reducing it.
text section exceeds available space in board
Error compiling for board Sanguino.

I did remove unneeded parts of the sketch and tabs, this did not help. So I realize reducing the sketch has to be done by some other means. The sketch probably contains instructions for several printers as their product line uses the same PCB for entire printer line.

Any thoughts? Use crayons when responding. Cannot find any video's or good instructional guides.

Please post the code that you have problems with but first look at the advice in this topic Read this before posting a programming question

I can't see how that relates to the Title you have chosen. Where does Python come into the picture and what is "C+ GPA" ?

UKHeliBob:
Please post the code that you have problems with

I suspect the OP is using Marlin or something similar and if so I don't think posting the code will provide much enlightenment.

GPA = Grade Point Average, or high school grades. :slight_smile:

Try a clean copy of the firmware without your changes. Does it upload?

Hi Bill,
no, sadly it still will not load. Just to re-iterate problem I cannot flash stock firmware b/c it is too large.
Best I can do here is add the .zip file of firmware and perhaps someone looking at it can understand why it is too large.

Also, the title was meant to be a programming chuckle. And I have learned alot in the past few days working with this.

Talk to the manufacturer and see if you can get the actual firmware they put on your printer.

Humour is always welcome, but the purpose of the Title is to catch the attention of people who may have the knowledge needed to help with your problem. There may be many who have seen "Python" and decided to give your Thread a miss because they are not familiar with that language.

I thought I'd never start.
