Hi mark ...
Ok ... great .... I will check it ...
But what is the name of firmware used in Prusa I3 M201 ? and is there a way to edit it, like Marlin firmware ? (I used to do that with my old Prusa I3 that I have).

the name is just the version number, nowhere to change it.

Hi Mark and others,

I have got a M201 for a few days and I learn 'how to master the beast' ;)
When it works, it works very well, excepted a Z-wobbling problem I have not overcome yet :evil:

Regarding the firmware, I updated to 1.0.3 which is better than before but there are still some issues...
For instance, the 'Cooldown' option from LCD panel does not work.

Moreover I think the question from halwanin was about the source you used to create the dedicated firmware for M201. I also suppose it is based on Marlin.
I tried to use the printer with Octopi and I cannot access the files on the SD card. I think it is due to a very well known bug in Marlin firmware and the solution is very simple : https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marli ... 29ccd58144
Could you please implement this patch ?

To conclude about the firmware, I personnaly think it is a pity that we cannot have access to the source and have the possibility to modify it. :(
Finally, I will open a new post depicting the various problems (not related to the firmware) I encountered and for some of them I solved ;)

" the 'Cooldown' option from LCD panel does not work." this function is not in use,so it will not work.
And the bug you said, will have the software engineer check about it later, thank you very much for the suggestion!
