Anet A8 (Plus) Marlin 2.0 Installation Upgrade
In this video, I show you how to install Marlin 2.0 firmware on the Anet A8 or the Anet A8 plus using Visual Studio Code and Platform IO as well as the new Auto Build Marlin plugin, which makes this a much easier process. Also you will see some troubleshooting tips.

Sehr hilfreich, Daniel. It's amazing how the available instructions for flashing Marlin are so fragmented. You find a piece here, another one there. You really streamlined the process for me.

I was bricking this upgrade, I bought an AM8 a few months back with a fault on the board I managed to gt it printing PLA find without a heated bed then found another a8 and got the board from that. No bootloader (note it was from the wooden frame one not the acrylic) managed to follow this and get it updated I just wanted to thank you mate I know you'll probably never see this but this has helped me so much.

This was a Journey for me. Thank You for the help. I ordered two USBasp devices and was unable to update the bootloader. Finally ordered a set of M to F jumper cables for arduino and updated the booatloader using the GPIO pins on a raspberry pi and avrdude and the 10 pin ribbon cable to the board. Successfully loaded the boatloader that way. Just came back to watch the video as a reminder of how to use VScode for firmware. I am almost up and running.

@marcodorso7830 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your guide, very precise and clear. I had the issue of the bootloader on my Anet A8 (board version 1.5) but I solved without installing it again with Arduino or something else. Because of the different baud rate of the processor you have to modify the 'update_speed' parameter in the 'platform.ini' file. My processor is ATMEGA1284p, so I went to all the profiles that use this type of processor in 'platformio.ini' (it's written in there, simply look for it) and wrote 'upload_speed = 57600' in EVERY profile that use ATMEGA1284p. With this little adjustment I was able to load Marlin without any issue. Give it a look, perhaps make a video for it because it can really help people. Cheers!

This is an awesome video. Worked for me and I use Linux Mint (VSC and all those extensions work fine on the linux version). I have one of the CTC A8 clones made out of plywood and it works surprisingly well. I have some experience flashing atmel atmega microcontrollers so already have a USBasp programmer and was able to hook that up and dump off the existing flash, eeprom and fuse bit settings incase I needed to revert. Upload in VSC failed and I flashed it using the USBasp. I then tried to flash the optiboot bootloader but it seemed to overwrite the fw so I just reflashed it again using USBasp. Maybe Marlin 2.x is getting to big for the 128Kb in the atmega1284p? Its late in the day so did not have a chance to test the fw yet. Just read the comment below about the bugfix branch; maybe need to do another build tomorrow?

Thank you for the great video. I have Anet A6 that I have used very little. Recently I started experimenting with PETG filament and the stringing issues were horrible no matter what adjustments I did. As a last resort I started to look into firmware side, would there be an upgrade to help me. It turns out that yes there is, my printer is now running Marlin 2.0.5.3 and no more stringing issues. It turns our that for some reason retract never worked with the original Anet firmware but as I'm new to 3D printing I never realized that. Mesh bed leveling is also great. It's feels almost like I have a new printer now!

Hi, I would like to start with a thank you for your help and Information I have received when watching your videos. I would like to ask a question about the anet a8 plus. I was following your marlin 2 upgrade for the anet 1.7 board and it went wrong. I flashed it and it seemed to take it ok. When I went to reboot it I get nothing on the screen and no lights on the board. I messed up I thought the mains power was on but after the flash the main cable was not in the printer and it was powered with the usb. The board is getting correct power to all the voltage test points. I think this has damage a stepper driver but none have any physical damage. My question is would you recommend replacing the main board with another anet 1.7 or one of the bigtreetech ones.

Thank you for a good tutorial video! I uploaded the firmware to regular anet a8 with v1.5 board. Just wanted to share that in my case the: avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x65 . . problem was caused by platformio using the baudrate of 115200 instead of the one given in the anet board.txt (57600). The fix was simple when I found out the problem. In your Marlin firmware folder in platformio.ini file add upload_speed to the sanguino env: . . [env:sanguino1284p] platform = atmelavr extends = common_avr8 board = sanguino_atmega1284p board_upload.maximum_size = 126976 upload_speed = 57600

I'm new to this, let me see if I get this right, I tried to flash the Marlin 2.0.7.2 on my Anet A8 1.7 board but I got "a few out of sync" errors, so this should mean it doesn't come with a bootloader. If so this means I need to flash a bootloader with Arduino IDE and a USBASP and then flash the Marlin firmware through USB with Visual Studio Code?

Thanks for the video. By any chance can you share how to do the upload from a mac running big sur? I've been struggling with that since the os upgrade. (I don't have other machines) thanks

Sorry, I can't. Don't have a Mac running that software and it cannot be updated anymore. Maybe later this year if I get a chance to get a new machine

Isn't thermal runaway enabled by default in the anet a8 plus?

I have an Anet 8 with a V1.0 board. If it has a pre-installed bootloader can i still flash it to marlin 2.0? From the arduino IDE?

Autobuild failed for me. It says: "SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Please unplug/plug device ...")?" I need support please. I did everything exactly as shown in the video. I have the Optiboot Bootloader installed on my Anet A8 Printer. Why does it not work??

After enabling AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR and FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE program was too big, You suggested disabling SDSUPPORT but it's important to me. So I shortened messages in src/core/language.h - I've managed to recover ~150 bytes of memory. Now it's under a limit. Most of the messages is not displayed during daily usage - those are perfect candidates for shortenning
