Issue loading an Hex file, New member and this is my first post

Hi, All,
sorry i couldn't find the presentation section so i post it here,
I will briefly tell you my issue so perhaps you can tell me on which section should i post my tread,
I have an 3d printer, LittleRP, which is controlled by sparkfun RedBoard, the printer is second hand, i have not clue how is programming with arduino, now this printer never worked as it should, most probably some issue on the firmware, i was trying to install a firmware that i found online with the hope to fix my issue but i guess i made it worst, so that's why i'm here.
I would like to erase/format my board and install the new firmware, Can you please guide me how to do that?

Thanks and Sorry for the long Tread

now this printer never worked as it should

Does that mean that it works, but not correctly? If so it would hlelp a lot if you explain what it actually does and what it should do that is different.

If it works at all my assumption would be that the firmware is OK and some settings are wrong, or maybe the hardware connections.

You may find more useful info on a Forum that specialises in 3D printing - for example the RepRap Forum.

According to the SparkFun website the RedBoard is programmed as if it is an Uno.

Post a link to the github page

I hope you have learned the lesson NOT to delete firmware prematurely.

It looks as if the Firmware is GRBL I suggest you Google grbl arduino ide for several websites that explain how to upload it.

If you think about it I'm sure you will agree that that does not give me any useful information from which to help you.
