Sprinter Firmware RepRap

Projects Programming
1

Hi-

I am about to embark on the project of constructing a RepRap (RepRap - RepRap) (3D Printer). I just downloaded the file for sprinter firmware and tried to compile it... it wont.

Is there anyone who has done this before and has a successful version. If so it would be very helpful if someone could send me it.

tried to compile it... it wont.

Presumably it told you why it wouldn't. Perhaps you'd like to share. Silly question, but you do have a Mega 2560?

There are many configure options in the code. You have to get them correct before it will compile.

  1. The error it first gave was said "HIGH" was no declared in this scope, when I delete that line as a try, an endless number of more errors come up. And yes I do have an Arduino.
  2. How do I configure it so it will compile.

HIGH is defined in the core Arduino libraries, so it sounds like you have a problem with your installation. If that wasn't the only error, we need to see all of them.

How do I configure it so it will compile.

That would be a question for the RepRap forums.

As noted, issue 1 is the fundamental problem - can you compile any of the arduino example sketches - you are using the IDE aren't you?

I suspect issue 2 will not trouble you, at least as far as compilation - I would expect the sprinter code to compile without issue, although my experience has been with its predecessor. You will of course have to configure it to match the setup of the reprap hardware you have built. I'm at that stage myself - how far along are you with the build?

Just throwing out an idea but the reprap has been around for a bit.

Is there a version of the code specific to ide 1.0?

I don't know, but that wouldn't explain the problem with things as fundamental as HIGH not being defined.

  1. Yes, I have a 2560
  2. I am using the Arduino IDE. I've tried it in 1.0, 0018, and 0023, none have worked.
  3. As far as seeing all the errors, I don't know how to do that. It wont tell me the others until this one is fixed. I delete the line with an issue just to see if it might work (I didn't think it would), and repeat until it might compile to see all the errors. I see that that may cause many more errors itself. But any way if i do that it gives endless errors.
  4. The RepRap build. I haven't actually started. I tried the code so that I don't spend a lot of time and money, only to find it doesn't work.

Is the code something you found online or something that came with the reprap that you shouldn't post?

I can only think that there is something wrong with your IDE installations. I would try deleting all versions of the IDE from your machine, then installing 023 again.

  1. I got it off Github.
  2. Ill give that a try.

Well i'm not sure what happened but I deleted all my Arduino IDEs and re-installed 0023... now it compiled without a fuss.

Thanks for the help.
