TAZ v.1.0 Marlin firmware

Determining which version of the TAZ and connecting to it
The “newest” addition to our collection of 3D printers is actually the oldest: The Lulzbot TAZ is actually, a Lulzbot TAZ 1.0 (according to the serial number on the back: KT-PR0010-5147).
The index.html at http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/ says, among other things: *"B" - KT-PR0010 - TAZ 1.0
Using minicom, the baud rate was determined to be 115200. Sending G28 to home it made it grind gears.
$ pronsole offline> connect /dev/ttyACM2 115200 ttyACM2 21°>
Eventually, I found http://download.lulzbot.com/TAZ/1.0/hardware/electronics/RAMBo/ which identifies the board as “based off of the Arduino MEGA” with “5 stepper drivers” and “5 MOSFET switched outputs” with documentation at http://reprap.org/wiki/rambo
As near as I can tell, the latest in firmware and other software lives at http://download.lulzbot.com/TAZ/1.0/software/current/firmware/Marlin/
Lulzbot offers instructions on re-flashing your 3D printer’s firmware and see also RepRap’s RAMBo firmware page.
Because we neither have the original paperwork for the TAZ, nor were the EEPROM settings previously enabled, we may be forced to determine the ESTEPS settings via, IMHO, a method fraught with inaccuracy by trying to manually calibrate using the OHAI instructions.
Adding a dynamic symlink to the TAZ…
After massaging the OS with the procedures listed in Dynamic symlinks for 3D printers we see:
$ pronsole WARNING:root:Could not setup DBus for sleep inhibition: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11 Welcome to the printer console!

Note the details on the firmware. Namely:
- Marlin 1.0.0
- Last Updated: 2013-03-06 | Author: LulzBot
- Compiled: Apr 17 2015
Fixing Arduino
The Arduino IDE complains
Ignoring bad library name <@pronterhost> The library "U8glib-new" cannot be used. Library names must contain only basic letters and numbers. (ASCII only and no spaces, and it cannot start with a number.)
Und zo, after tracking down the symbolic links and such…
sudo -i $ cd /usr/share/arduino/libraries $ rm U8glib-new $ mv /home/demo/Taz/Marlin/ArduinoAddons/Arduino_1.x.x/libraries/U8glib-new /home/demo/Taz/Marlin/ArduinoAddons/Arduino_1.x.x/libraries/U8glibNew $ ln -s /home/demo/Taz/Marlin/ArduinoAddons/Arduino_1.x.x/libraries/U8glibNew . $ exit
Calibrating the TAZ
$ pronsole WARNING:root:Could not setup DBus for sleep inhibition: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files Welcome to the printer console!

NOTE: Moving Z 10 “mm” resulted in the extruder assembly climbing WAY too high (especially compared to the multiple X movements which, even after 7 of them resulted in considerably less distance total.)
(Extrusion repeated until green filament residue became clear filament.) At which point Bobby took over and deemed the current feed calibration to be “close enough” but the ESTEPS value is still unknown.
BTW, Bobby says the Y calibration is 0.24 mm per step.
As of 2019.02.07… Downloading all the firmware:
$ wget -r -np -R "index.html*" -e robots=off http://download.lulzbot.com/TAZ/1.0/software/current/firmware/Marlin/Marlin/
In order to get the current settings from the TAZ, EEPROM_SETTINGS needs to be enabled which is apparently done in Configuration.h
Hopefully, the arcane details can be ferreted out of the Marlin Configuration,h documentation
