Working awesome with the Anet E-12. Did use the 10 to 6 pin converter, worked like a charm! Big thanks!
That's some crucially helpful comment! Thanks bud, almost crying because I couldn't unterstand why it didn't want to work.
any chance you can walk us through installing the USBasp drivers?
When you do this process can you leave everything else connected? Or do you have to disconnect everything your not using ie motor
Thank you!
Ok I'm just about to do this but no idea what I'm doing lol just ordered the things off Amazon the reason for flashing is I can't seem to set the print bed bigger than 220.o g I got loads of questions to ask you I will top over to your fb group hopefully community will help me. Oh great vid
Do you need to remove the board from the printer? Or did you just do that for easy access?
Hi Dude on the tronxy x5s is this board anet or something else also there is a six pin rj3 header on the X5s control board
can this be used to flash with the adaptor that you are demonstrating ?
Thank you sooo much for this. I have been struggling for a couple of weeks with uploading marlin to my anet a6. I am fairly new to printing and decent with computers, My question here is, Doe the TH3D firmware have the thermal Runaway protection for the anet like the marlin firmware is supposed to have? I will try to read into the firmware deeper and see if I can figure this out as well. Thank you once again for your help
Yes we always enable thermal protection as this is a safety feature that should NEVER be turned off.
TH3D Studio thank you so much. This firmware is so nice. I bought this printer heavily used and after a little lube and clean up it ran smoother but I had no idea how much different the firmware would make......now to get octoprint to work remotely. No my printer is never ran unattended, wife works from home and is always there but has no clue how to make my printer work but can definitely watch over it. Thank you again.
Fantastic video I have a question though I’m just getting started in 3d printing my question is do you have to take the motherboard out to do this or can I just leave it in place and just disconnect what I need to please answer as I’m serious about the question
You can leave it in when flashing. Just disconnect the LCD connections.
Thanks!!! A8-L have a big problem jeje and this solution works for me :) OSX El Capitan, last Marlin 1.1.x
Hi, i have an A8-L too, im currently using manual bed leveling, so when you get Marlin 1.1.x on your A8-L, is there an option to do auto bed leveling?
Hello!! Yes, it's a little complicated to use jejeje (for me), but it's customary
Carlos Alberto Carvajal Avila Hi again, i dont know why mine is not having auto bed leveling. Is there any option i should activate? Thanks
JAMBISALE yeah it's possible in a editor of firmware check the option auto level
JAMBISALE check this video th-cam.com/video/3gwWVFtdg-4/w-d-xo.html
Anet A8 isn’t listed under boards for me and no matter what I try, the machine is not detected while connected through usbasp. It is detected though usb though obviously without the boot loader doesn’t help me. My computer does detect the usbasp. Any Ideas? Should I give up on the Anet board and buy a better one?
hi thanks for the great imformation so i did everything you said and flashed the bootloader great then tried the download and it will not except keeps coming up with avr not in sync st500 error , tried many times had to walk away i must be doing something not a clue
Solved the Problem for me, TYVM
Hi, must the motherboard rewmoved from the printer? Grtz Ron
You can do it with it installed, just disconnect the LCD cables.
I was wondering what the pinout is for the 6 pin connection from the Anet to the USBASP
If you look on bootloader.th3dstudio.com there is the pinout for the Anet board. As for the ASP you would have to refer to the manufacturer documentation for that.
I have been trying to do this without luck. I have the Anet A8 board, Version 1.5, which does not have a boot loader.
same here
can Anet A8 board able to use BIGTREETECH Mini12864 LCD screen? if yes, what do I need to change in configuration.h file?
Probably not. I mean you probably *could* but it would take a lot of time to figure out. It's not worth it. Just get a newer board. The stock Anet boards are so outdated and poorly made.
bought the USBasp usb with 10pin to 6 pin connector. You plug the 6 pin in the middle of the connections, so 2 pins should be available on each side. If it says initialization failed, you probably have the 6 pin connection backwards, so just turn it around.
This will work for the ANET V1.7 ? Which is the stock board for the Anet A8 Plus-? THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Yes it will
@@TH3DStudio Thank you_ I just ordered the Bootloader so (fingers crossed) this will solve some of the many issues I have with this machine.
@@TH3DStudio Great Videos by the way
Hi, So I followed all the details in this video and from the /arduino-mac-setup/ from th3dstudio. The problem I'm facing from clip 1:25 of this video, I can't find the AnetV1.0 on the Board menu of audrino. Its default board is "Audrino UNO". Im using mac el capitan, anet a8 and a usbasp. The board reads anet3d v1-5. Please help! Thank you!
You need to use the Unified Firmware from our website. Remove all Arduino Installations.
Did you use the standard firmware in the "EXAMPLE" folder in Marlin?
Did you flash 1.1.9 or 2.0.X Bugfix?
Does this method work on all Anet boards? 1.0 1.5 and 1.7?
This process works on all Anet board versions.
We use our own firmware from Firmware.TH3DStudio.com
We'd highly recommend posting this question on our forum (its open to anyone) to get help with their machines. TH3D Forum: forum.th3dstudio.com/
@@TH3DStudio hey there I am currently moving all the ANET hardware over an Orballo frame (Tatara like one). Is there a chance, I may have support from you guys regarding the flashing ov the board? Do you offer paid services? Support trough Patreon?
I have a 10 pin USBASP. I was wondering if I could just trim the 10 pin connector to a six pin or do I have to buy an adapter.
how you solved this problem? i have the same problem rn, dont want to wait for adapter and i am trying to connect with some wires
@@szwos I actually managed to unbrick my Anet motherboard another way. I basically reinstalled Marlin onto the motherboard and it worked so I never used the USBASP. I don't know if that's helpful.
How did you reinstall marlin? I am kinda in similar situation bcs i want to update marlin to a newer version, but i cant do it with usb - propably bcs i have no bootloader on flash memory
@@szwos Sorry. I didn't see the reply until now. You've probably solved it already but I basically just pressed the compile button again.
I didn't get the issue from upgrading my Marlin. I had the issue when I was trying to install the Marlin software for the first time. My hot bed wire burnt through my V1.5 motherboard recently so I had replaced it with a V1.7 board before I ever upgraded my Marlin so I am not familiar with upgrading Marlin. I am so sorry I couldn't help.
I have my Anet A8 and I was using Marlin for some time . But yesterday when I was printing it showed on LCD "Max Temp, Restart The Printer...". After I restart it. It shows on the LCD that the Head Bed temperature is like 180, even if I unplug the Heat Bed thermisor. And now when I connect it to Cura by USB the printer just restart itself in a loop. Could I fix it burning the bootloader or do I need to buy a new board?
The thermistor could be bad. Mine did that last week. I replaced the hot end thermistor and heating element, might as well, that fixed it.
Hi, can I ask why did you not upload the firmware while the usbasp was plugged in?
You upload it over the USB port on the board. Thats the whole point of installing the bootloader.
Trimakasih 👍👌
Hello, i,m new in the world of 3D printing. How can i put the TH3D-Undifiend file in Arduino 1.8.5 program? The files that are in the directory of TH3D are not reconized in Arduino and most of them are read me files. I bought this printer un assembled new in box, but that was a long time ago. i couldnt build the machine because i was sick for a long time and now the warranty is passed. Now that i build it i found out that there is no software/bootloader or anything on the board. I just get 2 rows of blocks on the screen, the coolers works but thats all.
I'm not sure what you are referring to but the Anet firmware is still on our website. This video is very old. Check uf2.th3dstudio.com for the firmware lists.
Hi i have an USB ISP version 2.0, it came with a BLTouch pack for an Ender printer, its posible to use that instead of the USB ASP?
You should contact the seller of the USB ISP for documentation on their device.
Hi my Anet A8 board USB is not recognised when I plug it into my PC. I have tried reinstalling drivers all sorts of USB fix's on my pc I can only put it down to the board. Every thing else works just no USB will a Bootloader fix my problem?
It's worth a shot. We've recovered Melzi type boards (like the Anet) doing that in the past.
Does it have to be a 6 pin cable? I am using a 10 pin cable.. I am getting a: initialization failed rc=-1.
ah..i see you already answered this. Can I just trim the 10 to a 6 pin?
Yep same here. I have the latest Anet A8 motherboard seemingly. I have it built and working and now slowly going from a 3D printing virgin to a complete menace to my wife (it's her fault). I plucked up the courage to flash Marlin only to be greeted with "not in sync" errors. The screen printer reboots and goes back to normal. It was then I trawled the web and found out that a lot of the latest boards have dodgy bootloaders. I now have a USBASP on the way. My 51 year old brain really can't handle this. Oh well. It keeps me on my toes!
So, few questions in my persuit of trying to get my Anet board to accept some sort of firmware.
should be noted, I have an Anet A8-L. came pre-loaded with a custom anet firmware with ABL enabled from the factory. board is version 1.5.
Now, I cannot get this thing to accept any firmware, i've tried skynet, marlin using the configurator, as well as the arduino IDE.
I'm getting STK500 errors. tried so many things so far.
I have a USBasp coming today; but my question is, what bootloader is this method sending? a custom bootloader? based off the anet bootloader? why not move to optiboot to save space? can I load optiboot and still use the TH3D firmware? is it absolutely necessary to use the bootloader? (i ask because my buddy also has an anet, and he does not have a USBasp, and he's in canada and not as tech savvy with the bootloader stuff -- he already has skynet 1.1 though)
I have the same problem, 1.5 board and tried all what you have. Is this the reason you cant upload marlin or and firmware? Because of the boot loader being missing? Really stuck with this.
I ended up having to order a USBASP and flash bootloader.. only way I could get anything to load onto it. also, Personally I went from the TH3D firmware back to standard marlin because changing some of the options that I needed weren't easily accessible in TH3D vs standard Marlin. The bootloader I flashed from TH3D seemed to work fine with standard marlin.
Munky332 Thank you for that, so I ordered one USBISP devices that's a 10 to 6 pin hope that will do it..
Hopefully its one that's actually only 6-pins wide. I ordered on that was a "10 pin to 6 pin", but it used a 10-pin sized connector but the outside pins were simply blocked off (filled in w/ plastic). made it a huge PITA to flash, as I had to basically use header pins inserted into my adapter, then perfectly line them up with the pins on the board, then with my foot click "burn bootloader" lol took me like 30 minutes of fiddling. would have been easier if I had breakout pin jumpers but i didn't have any on me at the time. order a full set of 120 of each type (Male to Male, female to male, and female to female).
Chances of u being able to help me is probably slim to none. I can’t find any answers/solutions. I have a anet e10. When I power it up the lcd lights up but shows nothing but small squares. It also has this annoying screech buzz idk how to explain it from the lcd screen. It’s been replaced twice and 3 power supplies and new mother board. Other than buying something different, I’m out of ideas. Js I can’t find anyone who’s had this before and anet is no help.
Sounds like it has the wrong firmware on it. Try flashing ours on there: www.th3dstudio.com/hc/downloads/unified-2-firmware/anet/anet-e10-firmware-melzi-board/
I got to 1.f but I don't have a check at the bottom of my screen to compile.

i have a Anet A3 ..so witch do i use A6 or A8 my board is a verion 2.0 Anet
A3 isn't supported right now. Thats the little cube style one right?
@@TH3DStudio yeah the Acyrlic one mk1 ..it as a Anet board in it version 2.0 thats whats on the board .it as all the right plugs as in your video j3 ..ect ..my z axis gos up and down like a ender 5 is it ..so could iuse like Anet A6 as my x carriage is bascally the same and just change the rest in marlin ..like bed dimentions ect
@@darren990 Yeah we have one of those somewhere in the junk printer pile but never added it to the firmware so it's not going to work with our firmware we have. You should use Marlin for that machine.
@@TH3DStudio cheers
will this usbasp work with anet et4 too?
No that's a 32bit board. It needs a STLink
gutted no matter what i try i can not get a com port does it matter ir is it importaint to have a six wire rather than a ten wire ?
yes it must be a 6 wire.
I followed this video, and am not able to burn a bootloader on my A8 board using the USBasp. The USBasp does not show up in Device Manager under COMM ports. I can plug the board into my computer, and it shows up as COMM 8, but the USBasp 'dings' when I plug it in, but no change in the COMM ports. Please help, I really need to get Marlin onto this printer. Thank you
same you ever figure it out?
@@cds20101 diddo
Look here for windows usb drivers www.fischl.de/usbasp/. Maybe that will help.
Auto 1080p60 ! Just noticed I made the same comment ......12 months ago!
Try setting to 1080p60 manually. TH-cam doesn't always actually push the 1080 to the computer sometimes depending on your bandwidth.
can you just flash the firmware onto the board with out the bootloader?
No, you need a bootloader to load the firmware over the USB port.
y axis stepper motor is getting very hot what can i do
If its the anet where the vref is fixed I'd say check the motor if the bed isn't binding up. Binding on the rods will load the motor more.
Does this work with a 10-pin USBasp?
You need a 6 to 10 pin adapter.
TH3D Studio hi. Any suggestions where I could get one?
The link to Zadig is 404. Just search Google for the download.
Well, after trying and trying I`m stuck on this, I have a anet3d V1-5, I burn the bootloader with no problem but when Im uploading the configuration.h file from TH3D, following step by step your instructions Im still having this error "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xdb" please help me im tired of trying things so far without any success. Give me a hand Please
Do you have power going to your board when flashing the firmware?
When I write bootload it presents this message
avrdude: auto set sck period (because given equals null)
avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.
avrdude: error: program enable: target doesn't answer. 1
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Erro ao gravar o bootloader.
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
avrdude done. Thank you.
Danilo silva ever get this worked out? Have same issue.
I think there is an issue with a trace in the board from one of the programming pins. I’ve used several different usbasp devices with the same issue. When you plug in the programmer cable to the board you should see a couple of led lights come on and blink. One next to the j3 socket and one near the large chip by the high voltage input. Seen this on other videos. Error seems to be that the board isn’t getting power through to the chip either a bad trace or chip input pin. I don’t get either of the leds to light on the board. So error is that the usbasp isn’t getting a reply from the chipset on the board. I was lucky enough to have a factory boot loader to install marlin through. Though the factory boot loader occupies more room than a new boot loader. Just can’t enable to many features before chip memory runs out.
got an error from the get go. something in the config h back something or other

What is the effect of flashing the bootloader apart from custom boot animations?
TH3D Studio Aahhh, what happens if you just upload the new firmware without that?
If there is no bootloader you cannot update the Anet board firmware to Marlin. I flashed a bootloader and then finally Marlin successfully and is working great along with my inductive probe.
Can this be done via Mac?
Yes. We actually just sent out a new Arduino setup program for Mac users.
TH3D Studio do you have a link?
Its part of the firmware pack: firmware.th3dstudio.com
Tidy
still no idea how to do it! not clear at all
You should use the UNO method. The USBASP is a pain. Thats why we dont sell the USB ASP and instead carry the UNO kits. www.th3dstudio.com/product/arduino-uno-bootloader-flashing-kit/
Something I do not understand. Doesn't the USBASP come with a 10 pin cable already? Why would you need a 10 pin to 6 pin adapter cable. The 10 pin cable should just plug in, right?
Also why program in a bootloader when you could just program the board directly using the USBASP? Or is it because you can program with more revisions later using just USB?
The programming pins in the pinout on the 10pin Anet header does not match the pinout of the 10Pin USBasp programmer. The 6 pin adapter rewires the pins to the proper connections.
2.08 showing instructions....no chance! Grey text over exposed almost white out! Did you not see this when editing the video?
Looks good on our screens here. Also, make sure you have the resolution on the video set high to 1080p.
Is it only me...that cannot see the text filmed on the computer screen? Maybe a written A-Z how to would be an idea for those who’ s eyesight or mental capacity is insufficient to follow this....
Talk slower!
