THANK YOU DANIEL!!!! I have owned an Anet A8 for two years but was always hesitant to change the firmware as other tutorials and info were kind of confusing and I did not want to brick my printer. Daniel's videos are very clear and understandandable as to showing what steps are necessary to upgrade to Marlin. I followed step by step as Daniel showed and was able do the upgrade without any problems whatsoever! I now have Marlin 1.1.9 and thermal runaway protection. Once again THANK YOU DANIEL!!!!

I am glad to hear that the Anet v.1.7 boards are still flashable via USB. I just bought my first 3D printer, an Anet e16, and that is what it has in it. I'm going to go and try this out this weekend!

This was a fantastic guide. Even though now the 1.8.9 version works just fine. The one problem I had was my own fault was make sure no other programs are running that may block access to the printer. For me it was cura, even though I've had it open for days before getting my printer it automatically connected itself the moment I plugged it in and it was blocking me from updating merlin. That added about 20 minutes to my day lol. Now I get to actually try setting this bugger up to print!

That is a lot of detail GOOD JOB

Thanks again for another great video daniel, i already flashed my Anet using a method from one of your previous videos..Next is my ender 3..

Your videos are the absolute best

Great Video Daniel!

I remember figuring all that out myself without knowing anything about it prior to putting my printer kit together a number of years ago. I won't say how many hours, days, weeks or months (I don't even want to remember how long) it took me to finally figure it out but I did it! All by myself! I didn't know what Marlin was or what printer I had or anything. LOL!

NIce explanations!@! thanks Daniel :)

Another great vid

Perfect! Thank you!

wonderful thanks for that!

This is a great way to get in touch with the shortcomings of the Atmega1284p and then long for the days of through-hole chips and sockets. Graphic display + SD card + filament change is already too much for 128k. Technically you could still swap it for the 2560 and enable features to your heart's content but it's safe to say that's a good option for only the most skilled of absolute cheapskates vs Arduino Mega+ RAMPS. My cheapskate solution was just not to get the graphic display and hardcode my calibrations into firmware without EEPROM save.

HELLO Does the BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo mainboard have a bootloader already within it??

so does the Sengquino config work for the ender 3 pro even if its ATMega2560 instead of ATMega1284?

If I do this one time and install Marlin into my anet A8 board, then if I need to change something in the programm few days later, for example some data in configuration.h folder, do I need to use USBASP, USBTinyisp or Arduino UNO all this percedure again? Or I need just connect Anet A8 board with computer and upload without these programmers?

Thank you for this tutorial it works well, i use an arduino nano as a ISP programmer because i bought a fake USB ISP that not working :)

So if I have a working anet a8 board that is already flashed with marlin but I want to make changes to the config, and those changes result in drawing too big. I will need a usbasp module to get optiboot loaded so I can further customize marlin? Am I understanding this correctly?

@Crosslink3D

Hi, Thanks for your comment! If you managed to flash Marlin with the USB cable you can do this multiple times. The usbasp is only needed if you run into issues or if you run out of flash memory because the firmware gets too big. Then you need to flash either the optiboot bootloader or flash without a bootloader. The bootloader is making it possible to flash over usb.

Just ordered one have a couple tevo's and like them, a lot and they are dialed in. I feel like building an anet a8 is a right of passage :D in the 3d print world.

Yes, normally it can be fixed by using one of the three other methods that I have shown 1.) Arduino uno 2.) USBAsp 3.) USBTinyISP

Dumb question...the A8 board is basically plug n play no need to change some things and no way...that I know ...of changing other things. So if I upload Marlin, the board gets a cut down version due to chip size limits....do, is whats left going to put me back to the start up ready to go as the A8 firmware does?

Sir, I have an Anet A6 that I modded so it can possibly print up to 450mm in Z (changed chassis, longer rods, ..) my problem now is that when I print something that is higher then 250mm the printer stops moving the Z-axis because it thinks its as far as it can go. Will I be able to make the printer go higher in Z-axis if I update the firmware? Or, how can I make the printer think it can go more then 250mm high?

Hello David, I might have a workaround. Sometimes the avrdude tool behaves a little strange but you can still convince it to still flash your bootloader anyways. Check your output section of Arduino IDE what command line gets executed to flash the firmware. copy that complete command with all parameters and execute it in a console window but add the -F parameter to it so it will skip the verification. If you are not sure what to do, please come over to the discord channel so we can help you better. It's linked in the Description.

Daniel, I got USBasp from your link. I istalled the driver using zadig and checked it in Device manager. Then, I plug 6 pin cable end into my Anet A8 1.7 board, but I got no any kind of LED light or flashing. Just nothing. I powered my board 24DC and turned off the power. It doesn't matter. No any kinda led light activ on the board when 6 pin connected. Whats the problem? Is there any way to check if the board is working without any software installed yet? Maybe I should buy USBTinyisp ? Or maybe this new 1.7 board is not good? During the flash in the very beggining I saw some LED red light flash on the board and that's it. I probably bricked it. I don't know if it is possible to fix bricked boards. :(((

LEDs flashing on the board while you do the firmware upload is actually good. If the firmware flashes to 100% you did everything right from a connection perspective. What's the issue afterwards?

I tried USBTinyISP and USBasp but board led doens't flash. Probably I bricked the board :((

The 6 Pin adapter can be turned 180 degrees without bricking the board. Does this change anything?

@@Crosslink3D It has key like plastic bump in front of 6 pin connecter, so you can insert it only one way, I guess that's the only the correct way. But anyway I tried both programmers. I cannot flash the board. I don't see any led light flashing. So that means that bootloader was not installed. Now I ordered Arduino Nano to unbrick the board. Someone use Arduino Nano to unbrick the board. I want to try this. Please See here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZWpsNquY7fQqbw.html

I tried doing this in my anet 1.5 board but i got an error and a time out error when trying to fix the last error. with the upload now my printer only starts with a blank LCD screen and a constant beeping. But i read somewhere that you need to set up AVRDUDESS to get the correct communicating baud rate of 57600 for it to communicate correctly with the main board.

Im having similar problems with and anet 1.5,,, on my a6 the board eprom has presets for the A8 and even corrected with repetier it continues to return to a center offset of 30 mm on x axis and 4mm on y axis. downloaded avrdudess and still same "avrdude.exe: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xb8" error win 10 win 7 all the same. tired of the fight, going to submit to new board and going to send the old one back to anet,,, even on the repetier server software the board is labled A8 but they don't seem to understand that the offsets are machine design differences. I shouldnt have to work this hard for a product i paid for. bought a anet a8plus $150 and no issues, going to flash that with marlin shortly

@@MrOiam ya i ended up scraping the a6 for an ender 3 pro and now I'm working on a CR 10 S5. Trying to modify the duel z motors to work on a single plug so that i can install a SKR mini E3 into the printer. I'm not sure tho if i need to change voltage settings or not. They are pancake motors not the standard nema 17s.

for anyone that is struggling to install a bootloader via a USBasp you will need to download zadig and install the driver for the USBasp via that and have it as libusbk(v3.0.7.0) or libusb-win32 (v1.2.6.0) so arduino ide can use it and if it fails to burn you will need to change the arduino AVR Boards by arduino ( the one at the very top) on the board manager to version 1.6.9 and make sure your 3D printer board has nothing plugged into it and is also powered off and it should work but you will need to change the board back to what you had it as before changing it so you can then upload marlin onto it
