Firmware v1.1.8 not compatible with GT2560A board
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2019 5:50 am
I recently attempted to load the new Marlin 1.1.8 code referenced in this forum on my GT2560A board. This is the none PLUS board.
I am using a 3D-Touch bed leveling sensor configured as per the instructions I was provided two and a half years ago. The printer works fine with the old 1.0.x code, but i want to use some of the newer features of the 1.1.x code.
I found the PINs files are "sort of hard coded" to the new PLUS version of the board.
If you have the BOARD_NAME defined as the GT2560A+ the pins-gt2560a+ file is included at compile time. that file looks like this:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If you have the BOARD_NAME defined as the GT2560A there is no reference for a BL-Touch in the pins_GT2560A file. It looks like this:
I have a work around that corrects the lack of BL-Touch pin assignments for a GT2560A. I would not try to use this modified code for a GT2560A+ board however.
My work around:

With these changes the auto homing and bed leveling from the control panel appear to work fine.
