So I am having problems. I bought my Rambo board directly from Ultimachine as it was out of stock. I need to update it with V1’s firmware for the ‘dual endstop’ variety. I am following this procedure:
docs.v1engineering/learn/platformio/
I have passed the ‘build’ step but am failing the ‘upload’ step. I’m using a Mac with VSCode with my Rambo board connected using the USB connector it arrived with. I haven’t connected the board to anything else except my mac yet.
When it was doing the ‘upload’, I saw a light flash for 1/2 a second on the board, but that was it Also, the board doesn’t appear in my Finder on Mac though it is connected.
Do you know how I might overcome this issue? I am using the ‘Dual endstop’ version of the Rambo 1.4 firmware

The terminal process "platformio 'run', '--target', 'upload'" terminated with exit code: 1.

Also, check out Xloader if you are trying to flash stock firmware. I think you got through the hardest parts of platformio, but xloader with the firmware.hex should be a lot less moving parts to worry about.
