JohnSL,
Maybe I missed this detail when discussed earlier. I am using a MAC desktop connected via USB to Printrboard.
The Printrbot.com instructions for flash firmware are not well easy to follow for me, unfamiliar with the process.
I plugged in power, installed jumper, pushed reset and tried to connect to upload using Arduino IDE.
Of course it did not work.
Left out the step where I remove the jumper, then connect.
This procedure is unique to the Printrboard.
Oh, also downloaded the customized version of Arduino IDE from Printrbot to select the right board and serial port.
I will try these changes later today.....breakfast first...

I still can not get the Delta firmware uploaded to the Printrboard Rev. D
JohnSL? How did you do it?
I have been following the instructions by Printrbot.com about how to change the firmware but I must be missing some little step.
My key problem is that when I put the Printrboard in boot loader mode then the serial port connection is not available on the list of options.
When the printrboard is in normal operating mode, the serial port is available but of course then I can not upload the Delta firmware. Very frustrating.
when I have the printrboard powered on and in normal mode then I can connect Repetier Host and I can move motors however the settings are for cartesian motor movements and I have to be careful.
Everything works as if it was a cartensian printer.
So, I know the board works.
But how I upload the Delta configuration......I have done this many many times on my Mini Kossel with the Mega2560Ramps1.4, so I know how to use the Arduino IDE.
