Geeetech

I have bought a Geetech i3 Pro B back in april/may 2018. I have now ordered a Geeetech 3D Touch Auto Level Sensor. My concern is how to figure out which settings I need to use in the firmware.

I have (professional) programming experience, and also has experience with both Arduini, Platformio, C/C++. So I have no concerns getting the firmware compiled, and I also understand where to set the apropriate values.

1. Is there an option to either backup existing firmware (I think it is version 1.0.3)? (From my reading I guess answer to this is "NO")

OR

2. Is there some function I could call to identify what are the actual settings in the firmware. (I can only see the firmware version in the log)

OR

3. Is there a list of values I need to identify before (eg. boards make + revision, ....)

And

I see a lot of repos in github, where can I find the best or even better a correct Configuration.h file?

What I do know is:
1. Board is GT2560 Rev A+

I have found this https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to ... nd-Arduin/ which seems to describe a brute force approach, if I can't find the correct Configuration.h
Sorry for the newbie questions, and thanks in advance

Hi!

If you download marlin you have example configuration files for the printer. probe and noprobe. The probe configuration files are for the 3D Touch/BLTouch sensor, these are a configuration files for make work the printer.

1. No possibility of backup firmware, at Geeetech download section you have the last two compiled firmware made by GEEETech https://www.geeetech.com/download.html?download_id=34

2. Only by Gcode commands, slow and ineffective.

3. If you download marlin and configuration examples all are ready to work.

Fine tunning are necessary for work correctly: Probe position, steps, offset....

Best regards.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So I can always just go for the precompiled firmware? I guess it isn't as complicated as I was fearing

Is there a good guide on how to tweak the values that I can play with?

Hi!

I know a good guide, but in Spanish

The site is 3dwork.io if you need help say and I try yo help you.
