			== USE ==

			The Ultimaker board can use for many printer machine,such as Ultimaker



			If you is a DIY user,you can follow the picture and the guide






			'''Firmware'''


			The Ultimaker board apply with MAGE, so it is most easy way uploading firmware from the IDE.

			Steps to take:

			*Close all programs that you use to communicate with your Ultimaker (RepG, Printrun, SendG, Netfabb, etc.)

			*Connect your Ultimaker via USB to your computer. You don't need to turn on the red switch.

			*Download and install the latest version of the Arduino IDE at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software (at the moment it's version 0022 and 0023).

			*Download and extract the source code of the firmware (Marlin is better for Ultimaker ) you want to upload onto your Ultimaker.

			Recommended source for Sprinter: https://github.com/bkubicek/Sprinter

			Recommended source for Marlin: https://github.com/bkubicek/Marlin

			Just decide for one of them and click "Downloads" and extract the archive.

			Note: You can decide wether you want it to be archived as tarball or zip file. Zip will work on all major operating systems out of the box.

			*Start Arduino

			Select your board (usually it's "Arduino Mega 2560", if you weren't amongst the first Ultimaker buyers).

			Do so by clicking: "Tools" -> "Board" -> "Arduino Mega 2560"

			Click "Open" (It's the upwards facing arrow icon).

			Select the firmware file from the extracted archive.

			In the case of Sprinter (given you got your source code from the link provided above): Tonokip_Firmware.pde

			In the case of Marlin (given you got your source code from the link provided above): Marlin.pde

			Click "Verify" (It's the very first play icon).

			Completion is indicated by 'Done compiling.'

			Click the "Upload" button (It's the right sides arrow icon).

			Note: DON'T detach your Ultimaker during this step. Please wait until the completion is displayed in the status bar. If you detach the USB cable during

			the upload procedure you risk to leave the board behind without a working firmware!

			After the successful upload you can close Arduino and start up your control program of choice (RepG, Printrun, etc.).

			In the case of RepG you have to this: In the menu, go to "Machine" -> "Driver" -> click "Ultimaker v1.0 (EXPERIMENTAL Sprinter firmware)".

			NOTE: If you don't see the Sprinter profile do this: Open "Preferences" ->Activate "Show experimental machine profiles".

			Restart RepG afterwards to see the change.

			In the case of Printrun you have to make sure that you're using the correct baud rate: 115200

			Carefully check all important functions like temperature control, endstops, etc. for proper function before you start any unattended print jobs!

			You're done. Happy (s)printing or even better: printing with Marlin!


			'''warning'''

			If you use double extruder heads and select Marlin , you must know there is a mistake in "Pin.h" of Marlin ,the "#define EXTRUDER_1_ENABLE_PIN 51"

			should be "#define EXTRUDER_1_ENABLE_PIN 48".
