Robert:

1) this repo is isolated from https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin ?

2) do you have plans for upstream/downstream sync with your repo ?

3) if you use private remote, perhaps you could push sync branches ?

Thank you. Andrei.

You can still add Marlin mainline as a remote and update. I isolated it from the fork as people were getting confused and downloading the wrong branch. I am working on a release based off 1.1.x hopefully I will get it released soon. I have it on my Duplicator 6 now just running tests with it.

Robert:

I finally got to the point when I am ready to try custom marlin firmware

Can you please share:

1) how usable/stable is your patch: https://github.com/dot-bob/Marlin-Duplicator-6 ?

2) what are the improvements, compared to the stock firmware ?

3) I tried to upgrade your patch to current marlin master - no luck so far, too many changes, the code just wont build hey, will try again, and if you have any tips - please share

Thank you.

Robert: can you please push your current working Wanhao-D6 branch to your marlin fork? https://github.com/dot-bob/Marlin/branches/active Thank you.

The current version would not be accepted as a whole to mainline. I am working on individual submissions to mainline to add basic support for the D6 hardware.

I am holding off on a 1.1.x port until a few bugs are fixed and I get a few features added to mainline. If you are looking for a port to the latest revision you are welcome to use my personal port I have been using for development. It is located on the MMU branch of my main marlin fork: https://github.com/dot-bob/Marlin/tree/MMU

One thing to note is I use an auto level sensor on the analog port not the standard end stop connection. You will need to edit the pins_ULTIMAIN_2.h to use the stock end stop again.

great, thank you

I am curious as to why are you using analog z-probe port, are you trying to replicate ultimaker 3 approach? :-)

The IR sensor I am using doesn't like the fixed pull-up on the normal endstop connection. The analog port doesn't have this pull-up.
