I need HELP! FOR A CODING NOOB

Excellent, we have a compilation. Now what?

Sorry, I don’t have a 3D printer (yet) so, I’m afraid you’ll have to check the Marlin instructions. Normally, after a build, the next step wiuld be either “program” to upload with a ICSP device, or “upload” to use a bootloader.

I don’t know if the Ender has a bootloader? Teaching Tech on You Tube shows how to install one, if needed, and has a recent video on using Marlin Auto. Might be worth taking a look?

Goodluck.

Cheers,
Norm.

thank you for at least trying to help turns out i need to use the hex file

normandunbar · October 21, 2020, 2:22pm

The hex file should be there though? Is it not? There will be a .pio\build folder in the project folder. In there somewhere will be an elf file, a hex file and a bin file. You might have an eep as well.

Cheers,
Norm.

yeah i figured it out now it makes a binair file once the build is succes ,now it works although i still need to edit some settings with that BLtouch but the more i look into it the more i understand ,but for now i took a break else i get square eyes hahah

Excellent news. Glad you got sorted. That Teaching Tech guy covers Ender’s and BLTouch setup in his You Tube videos. Covers editing Marlin config etc.

I watch him all the time and I don’t have a 3D printer.

Cheers,
Norm.

I tried on 3 different computers, marlin auto compile spits out the same lines, …that it does not recognize platformio or doesn't know where to find it. I find it odd that it worked twice before ... then I moved on to another computer and it didn't work from the start, then a third and again .. same error from the start. I know it must be an easy fix, and that somebody probably posted this, and someone is going to facepalm when seeing my post, but please tell me how to fix it, I really like the idea of auto-building marlin and its getting annoying not knowing why it's not working. I was able to compile the firmware through platformio no problem, flash it etc ... but I want to use auto build marlin (it even recognises the board and the firmware version, author and everything, just then I hit the hammer it spits out this error which I am tired of seeing) error: platformio : The term 'platformio' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + platformio run -e rambo + ~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (platformio:String) [], Co mmandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException Thanks for helping out if someone will help out, Cheers !
