Hi,
It’s been about 2 years since I built my Farmduino 2.0a board. Unfortunately, the project was then abandoned. It’s my turn now.
To give the ATmega2560 a bootloader, I used an Arduino Uno, which I turned into an ISP programmer. This is very easy to do with the Arduino IDE. Both creating the ISP programmer and burning the bootloader with this ISP programmer.
I flashed the ATmega16 with the Arduino-usbserial-atmega16u2-Uno-Rev3.hex.
And on the STM32 the encoder-tracker firmware has to be uploaded. It should be noted that encoder-tracker 1.0.1 must be used for Farmbot version 1.5 and encoder-tracker 1.0.2 for v1.6. Burning works with the SWD interface and an ST-Link programmer.
It looks like everything is working for me. The v1.6 in particular has the great advantage of being able to use the quiet mode. An absolute must.
Greetings Klaus
