My firmware doesnt like me

tceb1111 · November 22, 2020, 2:00am

so i have an archim 2 board and i need to flash firmware on it, I have the hardware set up for dual endstop lcd but when i try to upload the archim 2 dual endstop firmware using platform.io it gives me the error

OK…I’m no expert…but you seem to have a few issues. first off is you seem to have set a mega2560 as your target but the archim2 uses a 32bit Atmel SAM3X8E processor. you also could do with following the suggestions of changing the env_default entry in platformio to default_envs (while this is not actually causing your error at the moment the entries are going to change in the next release and will then cause a failure). also you should manually delete the .pioenvs directory as requested to ensure any old configuration data is removed and your file will be compiled using the correct variables as selected. Now I’m guessing this is all gobbledegook to you so…
load up Visual Studio Code. Open your working folder. Open platformio.ini. In the editor, find envs_default (in blue) in the [platformio] section and change it to default_envs. On that same line you have currently mega2560 - change that to DUE . … default_env = DUE
Then open file explorer, find and delete `C:\Users\brett brustad.000\Desktop\Marlin-MPCNC_Archim2_T8_16T_LCD_16step.pioenvs… the whole .pioenvs directory.

Once done try and compile it again…

Everybody feel free to add corrections!

This seems like it might be part of the issue too.

MarlinBuilder releases has an archim zip already configured from 2.0.7.1 and has the platform.ini and everything configured already. I believe it builds in arduino and in pio already. The builder can’t make a .zip unless those builds succeed.

tceb1111 · November 24, 2020, 11:07pm

with a mix between both of your solutions it now works for other people looking in i used the new file and changed the mega 2560 to default_env = DUE and it worked

but now nothing happens when i plug it in the lcd does not turn on

jeffeb3 · November 25, 2020, 5:20am

Are you using the firmware from MarlinBuilder releases?

tceb1111 · November 25, 2020, 5:09pm

Yes.

jeffeb3 · November 25, 2020, 7:30pm

Ok. It is probably just the cables. They have 4 ways to plug in and they are all harmless, but only one way works.

jeffeb3 · November 25, 2020, 7:31pm

I was surprised you need to change the default env, but I think I might be doing some tricks to change the command line instead of changing the platform.ini file. I need to document that, if that’s true.

tceb1111 · November 26, 2020, 11:57pm

ok so there are more problems number one the boot scree wont upload because it says

const unsigned char custom_start_bmp[] PROGMEM = {

has the word PROGMEM which it thinks is wrong

another problem it sees is the /**
im using pio by the way
thanks for the help

jeffeb3 · November 27, 2020, 5:22pm

I think there might be an issue with your post. Some of the characters sometimes get eaten by the forum. You can start with three backticks and then put code or error messages in and close with three more backticks.

You might try arduino instead. The archim should be flashable by arduino.

…
and i tried arduino but it works even worse
