Marlin 1.1.9 for new A10 edition with BLtouch and filament runout detection

[gdachs]

I made a Marlin fork for the new Geeetech A10 edition with the board GT2560 V3.0. This A10 has a BLtouch mount and a connector at the hot end enclosure. It has even a filament runout sensor. Geeetech claims in their github account they would have a hex file and a configuration file for the BLtouch, but this is not true. The filament runout sensor is not supported at all. And Geeetech is one version behind.

My fork does only compile, it is absolutely untested. I have no time for tests the next days. So it is only for experienced users. There could be problems with probing positions on the bed. The pin of the filament sensor is only a wild guess using the schematics of the GT2560 V3.0. There are two pins available.

I work only for printers I own and in configurations I use, so don't ask for something different.

Giving this a try!

My Board is broken before I could test this fork. Support agreed to send me a new one, but they stopped to answer my emails. So I can't test this anytime soon.

I tried this firmware but my filament sensor doesn't work. I can't print because the machine thinks there is no filament in the sensor even when there is. Could this be a bad pin configuration for the sensor in the firmware? Otherwise the firmware is awesome - bltouch works flawlessly.

You can disable it on LCD(Maybe you need to check it)

william the site admin posted his version http://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic ... 98&t=61959 far as i can tell its all good includes the source. if you don't know how to compile firmware or flash it there are many guides on youtube that explain it better then i can here.

hi vert,
i know how to flash firmware and kind of compile just didn't know what a fork was or how to dl it.
i take it williams fw has the filament sensor fully working?
and i presume i can just disable bltouch in his firmware?

You can disable these
1.//#define Z_SAFE_HOMING
2.//#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR
3.//#define BLTOUCH
