Latest stable Marlin for Geeetech i3 Pro B

Hi Niklas0

I am trying to install this new firmware to my GT2560 rev A board
how ever I am running into errors when verifying the settings I have changed to accept a proxy switch for the auto bed leveling not a BLtouch

below is the error field would be nice if you can assist in this issue

Cancel my question. The problem is that the ribbon cables have to be reverse from the original position by shaving down the guides.

Hello and thank you for the firmware.

What should I do with an echo:SD init fail error.

My board is hanging on echo:SD init fail and the LED will not power on. I'm using a GT2560 A+ board and made the following changes.

SERVO0_PIN from 32 to 11 in pins_GT2560.h
comment out the following three values in Configuration.h:
#define BLTOUCH
#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR
#define Z_SAFE_HOMING

Here's a photo of the LCD/SD card board.

Hello, you should use the Arduino IDE 1.0.1 Version.

Hello! nice work. Thank you for feeding us with ready stuff.

I have a gt2560 A motherboard on a prusa i3 pro b and the following problems occured after your firmware update while working on a way to make the sensor to work.

a) i dont see anywhere the gt2560.h to change the 32 pins in arduino marlin program

b) i have a very bad problem while homing in z axe, the servo goes up and up while the 3d touch sensor tests 2 times to find the bed without success offcourse and after a while i get an error (through repetier host) "error stop called because of bl touch error restart with m999" . I tried a lot of stuff that found on internet for this problem but nothing worked right for me. I allso tried to reverse z axe but this got my problem worst.

c) i use
#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_LINEAR
#define Z_SAFE_HOMING
#define BLTOUCH

d)arduino 1.8.4 doesnt let me to choose 3point, gets a lot of errors.

I cant do my job anymore after of some hours working to put the sensor, update the firmware etc etc....


Any suggestion guys??

Maybe you should use the Arduino IDE 1.0.1.

Working great for me on my GT2560 A+ board. I had to switch SERV0 pin to 32 and invert my X axis to work properly. I also changed the number of probing points from 16 to 4. It was taking way too long

Thank you so much for doing this! 1.0.2 was getting too old for me.

BTW, I am flashing with a Mac on 1.8.4

Thanks so much for a fantastic firmware. Great with new features etc, compared to official old Marlin firmware. :-)

A tip for other users: I have the GT2560A+, but had to change the SERVO0_PIN to 32, in order to make this firmware work. (I initially changed this to 11, but this didnt work, so I had to change this value back to the original).

Same thing here. And also have to change X Y direction, but this could be an issue of my assembly. Hope could help. Thanks for the firmware!

Thanks for the sharing.

Hi Niklas0,

I'm currently using the latest Arduino IDE version 1.8.5 to modify the original Geeetech firmware for my Pro W (which I believe is basically a wooden Pro B, with otherwise identical hardware - but please correct me if I'm wrong) - the firmware version my board shipped with is 1.0.2 & the board is a GT2560 Rev A+ which is also the version that the Forum firmware download page gives me in its ProW.zip.

In the latest Arduino IDE software, to get it to work with the Geeetech's old version of the firmware, I had to configure Boards Manager by using "Arduino AVR Boards", & then selecting "1.6.11" from the "Select version" drop down menu - along with installing the LiquidCrystal Library. Now it modifies, saves, compiles & uploads Geeetech's version 1.0.2 with no problems.

However, do I need to change anything to compile & upload the latest Marlin 1.1.x in Arduino IDE - ie do I still have to use version 1.6.11 of the Arduino AVR Boards, or can I safely upgrade it to the latest version of 1.6.20 ?

For the record, I use Linux, not windows, & thus the elderly windows binary of Arduino 1.0.1 is not an option for me.

Hello, My 3DTOUCH don´t work. I do any proof possible. I have a GT2560 Rev A.

When I check the ports, I find this:

17:50:58.364 : PIN: 30 Port: C7 Z_MIN_PIN protected
17:50:58.364 : PIN: 31 Port: C6 Y_STEP_PIN protected
17:50:58.364 : PIN: 32 Port: C5 <unused/unknown> Input = 0

The pin 32 It must be used, it up a down the probe stick, I think so...

Some clue.
