I am getting very frustrated with my ancient electronics, for the life of me i cant seem to upload the new marlin firmware to the board. i keep getting that avrdude serial error since the board does not auto reset before an upload, i remember this being fidgety but i think something is wrong now. im using arduino v0023 and i have the sangu files needed, everything else is stock. also the debug led is solid all the time, idk if that is normal but i would think not. i currently have an old version of marlin on there now and it doesn't seem to like the new repetier so im trying to update.
any help or should i just spend the 140$ for a smoothieboard :\ ?
