Need help updating my Melzi board to Repetier Firmware.
Greetings,
first off, I am quite new to 3D printers - but in these short few weeks I have came pretty far to understanding the tweaks and ends to 3D printing. Recently, I purchased a Tronxy I3 Prussa 3D printer with a bed size of 220x220 mm and equipped with a Melzi board running a firmware of Marlin v1.0 or X3A V1.1 is what comes up briefly on the start-up screen of the board as the running firmware.
On my linux computer I am running Repetier Host, which in the beginning I was able to get some decent prints, with some minimal calibration. However, as of late I have read that the best firmware to run on this board, not only as a alternative - but as a good working firmware compared to Marlin is a latest version of Repetier Firmware like Version 0.9. I read that some folks are getting better communication between the board and their computer both running Repetier.
Finally I have downloaded all the files, such as the Arduino IDE and the firmware, per these instructions here: https://www.repetier.com/documentation/repetier-firmware/rf-installation/
When I go to the first step; to open and select the file "Repetier.ino" in the Repetier sub-folder of the extracted files of the zip, I cannot find that file name. I do find a application file name "Repetier" but without the "ino" and it is actually colored and identified aqua green..
Lastly, if anyone has been here, down this, I would appreciate it greatly if you can point me into the right direction! Thanks
