Marlin BL-TOUCH upgrade

I have an A10m. When I attempt to upgrade the Marlin to the version on Geeetech website for use with the BL-Touch, I get a timeout error. I have tried all the solutions found on the Internet from switching the board type to waiting for the upload to begin after compiling and hitting the reset button. Nothing seems to be working. I follow the instructions provided by Geeetech to the letter and I get a timeout error every time. As I understand it Geeetech uses a clone board of the GT2560. I to have Marlin 1.1.8 installed on a Windows 10 machine and the computer does see the printer on com 6. According to what I read, they use a lot of cheap components on these clone boards and this is a constant issue. Can anyone tell me how to flash this board either by SD card or an alternate way to get it to work so that I can use the auto level. Geeetech should have been smart enough to have the version of Marlin installed on all machines with the BL-touch as an option in the event that you purchase this from them or someone else.

Hi, maybe you need this: http://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic ... 20&t=17046
Please pay attention to these matters:Please use Arduino 1.8.5 to finish the upload and the firmware includes these:
-configuration.h for 3dtouch
-configuration.h for no 3dtouch
You can find it on"Configuration and hex file", choose the correct configuration.h and replace the old one.
