The files you provide are wrong.
I have an i3c pro C printer with firmware 1.0.02,
I am updated with the firmare you provide on the web and now the version that appears is the Marlin 1.0.
And worse the x-axis direction has been reversed, disabling the printer.

Hi,as to the wrong direction,you need to modify some values in your firmware.And you can refer to this post:http://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic ... 17&t=17037

Hello guys,

So i builded my prusa i3 pro b few months ago and printed little bit with it and haven't used it for a while now. I noticed that marlin has released stable 1.1 version firmware and i think that is it possible to update my printer firmware to 1.1 without problems, or does it need somekind of special geeetech firmware to work properly?

I think you can update the firmware to your printer and if you want make it work, you have to modify the parameters of the Marlin firmware.
And i hope you use our firmware for Pro B in a while time.
if we test the firmware with Marlin 1.0.1, we'll let you know! :D

What parameters i need to change and why? What are differences in these firmwares? I'm just curious and i'm interested in these coding things :P

hello,

with this config file for Marlin 1.1 my Geetech Prusa I 3 Works fine
please watch out in this config File is Changed the Temp Sensor for E3DV6 Hotend.

#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 5 // for E3DV6 standart ist 1

#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 290 // e3dv6 was 275

the next part is i have enabled Autobed Leveling with a inductive sensor and Invertet the Z-Min input Port

#define Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true
#define Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true
#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR

please set the steps to fit to your printer i use a wade extruder so my E0 Steps are very hight and a TR8 X8 Z axis so the Z Stepps very low i think this are the original settings

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,93}

and this my settings

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80.15,80.30,399.24,820} // andy

please Change this to fit to your Printer before you use this config file i give no warranty
and last the lcd language is German ;)

#define LCD_LANGUAGE de

regards

I think lots of parameters of the firmware is same as the firmware 1.0 version.
Now, i don't read the Marlin firmware version 1.1 specifically.
Maybe others can help you

I appreciate your feedback.

Hi MadScientist,

Updatated To Marlin 1.1.1 with this file. Should the values changed to values below?
Before I update to new version, I would like to have a fallback to "original" firmware.
Does anybody know the difference between firmware from this thread and installed ver 1.0.3?
