New software will often require new firmware. New software packages always come with the latest firmware at the time the software was released; however, sometimes newer firmware is available.
There are two families of firmware; one for the heads, or STM-103 boards, and another for the motion controllers, or STM-427 / STM-407 boards.
Print Head / Hot Bed Firmware
For the STM-103 Boards. Consult the table below for the proper version. The wrong version WILL NOT WORK.
Video instructions for flashing the 103 (HH/HB) Controllers: https://youtu.be/yM8QMZBTb4o
- Launch Repetrel ( C:\Repetrel\bin\Repetrel.exe ).
- Go to File > Update Firmware > Motion Controller
- Select the latest .dfu file for your machine from the table above.
- Your printer should show as "CONNECTED" in the firmware utility. If it is not:
- Access the Motion Controller.
- Change the vertical switch to BOOT CONFIG (away from the vertical switch).
- Reset the motion controller (small button left of the LED).
- You should now be CONNECTED.
- Click "Program" - the process takes a few seconds.
- IF you had to change the switch, change it back and reset the motion controller.
- You are done.
You should not have to flash new firmware on any heads, although some values have changed; please see the charts at Cold and Warm Flow and Hot Flow for details.
