Re: Sanguinololu Rev 1.3a - how to load firmware

turned out the cable was wired weird, I made a new one but still issues with that unit. So I got out some old kit and got buzy with an Arduino Nano and made an ISP out of it.
Still had to mess with that for hours and just before the hammer started hitting the Sangunololu I got it to flash.

Ok, I got a lot of learning in :) Thank you. I still cant flash anything direct via the built in USB port tho.

Question, now that I can flash tho in a clumbsey way, should I flash a new bootloader? Would that maybe fix the flash directly over USB problem?

Caliberation and all the fiddly stuff that goes with a fresh flash is going to take me down a road of many many flashes and haveing to do it via the Nano soulution is going to be a path I can see hateing.

Especially since the ISP header on the Sanguinololu is where the LCD plugs in....

Still I am finally seeing a flicker at the end of this tunnel.

Btw the reason I had to flash in the first place was chageing out the threaded rod on my GeeeTech ME Creator 1 for a proper 8mm feed screw. Different pitch and direction made it necasary so I had to start over.

Thanx again :)
