There are some people who are afraid to update their makerbot firmware. It’s really not that bad. Sorry about the crappy and dark video, but I just wanted to show what it was like.
The take away’s from this are:
- Don’t leave your bot plugged into the USB when its turned off, it can ruin the board.
- When the update says “Try to press the reset button just before you press ‘Update'” ignore that. If you’re using Windows you may want to go the other way.
- If at first you don’t succeed, don’t take it personal. Try, try again.
- The rapidly blinking light I mention is on the motherboard but can be seen through the hole for the power switch.
And in other news, My x-axis is fine now. Thanks Greg. (And Dan.)
