Firmware readme #6

Hello! I'm trying to understand what are the pros and cons of trying different firmwares on the Neptune 3, and what the restrictions the hardware imposes. Before I found the repository, I assumed the Neptune 3's firmware was a fork of an existing mature open source firmware, but it seems like it was made in-house. I'd like to switch to a more community-based firmware, but I'm not sure what's out there and how that compares to this. I was hoping maybe we could update the readme with information and guidance.

Warm regards, Ben

hi!Ben. Neptune3's leveling device still needs to work out some bugs. However, the current firmware is mainly to debug and optimize this part of the bug, so as to avoid all kinds of abnormal situations that may be encountered in the use of this leveling device, so as to make it more intelligent (realize fool operation).

The Neptune3-source code is based on the Marlin community and then modified according to the actual needs of the machine. I suggest that you study the Neptune3-Marlin source code first.Because if you want to use the Marlin firmware based on the Marlin community, you need to port a lot of source code, but if you are familiar with this area, you can try it.
