Compiling From Source
Windows 10: If you are using Windows 10, one of the easiest ways to build the firmware is using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Simply follow this guide to set up WSL and get yourself an Ubuntu shell, then proceed with the steps for Linux.
Linux: Open a shell and execute the following commands one at a time:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python git make rename
sudo apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
sudo ln -s "/mnt/c/Users/YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_DIR/Documents" Documents
cd Documents
git clone https://github.com/drunken-octopus/drunken-octopus-marlin.git marlin
cd marlin
./build-configs.sh
./build-firmware.sh
Once this process is complete (it may take several hours), the firmware files will be in the build directory of your Documents folder.
If you only wish to use a specific printer and toolhead, you may select the desired one from the command line, for example:
./build-firmware.sh Oliveoil_TAZ6 Angelfish_Aerostruder
The names of the various choices are printed when running build-configs.sh (the last two elements of the path).
Arduino IDE: In order to use the Arduino IDE, you will need download and extract the zip file from the GitHub repo.
The, go into the unpacked folder and replace the "Configuration.h" and "Configuration_adv.h" files in the "Marlin" subdirectory with one of the example configuration files from "config/examples/AlephObjects". Drunken Octopus will only include the configuration files for the standard printers and toolheads.
Open the "Marlin.ino" file from the "Marlin" subdirectory in the Arduino IDE.
Choose "Preferences" from the "File" menu and add "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ultimachine/ArduinoAddons/master/package_ultimachine_index.json" to the "Additional Boards Manager URLs".
In the "Boards Manager":
- For TAZ Pro: Search for "Archim" and install "Archim by UltiMachine"
- For all others: Search for "RAMBo" and install "RepRap Arduino-compatible Mother Board (RAMBo) by UltiMachine"
Choose the board corresponding to your printer from the "Board" submenu menu of the "Tools" menu. For a TAZ Pro, select "Archim"; for all others, select "RAMBo"
Lastly, you will need to copy the contents from "ArduinoAddons/arduino-1.8.5/libraries" into your Arduino IDE "libraries" directory which is in the location specified by "Sketchbook location:" in the Arduino IDE.
To compile and upload the firmware to your printer, select "Upload" from the "Sketch" menu.
