how to activate EEPROM function
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2016 4:37 pm
With Marlin’s EEPROM functions activated, a user can set, adjust, tweak or otherwise modify a printer’s settings until everything is just so, and then save them such that they will not only survive a reboot (or even a complete re-flash of the firmware), but they will also appear as the default settings every time the printer is turned on.
This is a whole lot faster, easier and more productive than making all these changes within the Configuration.h file.
In most cases, the EEPROM functions are disabled by default. The good news is that it is quite simple to activate them. Simply open up your Configuration.h file,
find these two lines:
//#define EEPROM_SETTINGS
//#define EEPROM_CHITCHAT
comment them out and make them look like this:
#define EEPROM_SETTINGS
#define EEPROM_CHITCHAT
Now save your changes and re-flash Marlin. Your EEPROM functions are now active, congratulations!
You can verify this via your LCD controller by entering the menu, then selecting Control. Inside the Control menu, you should see two new options:
Store Memory and
Load Memory
