Feature Request: How-to->Migrating from Marlin #32

Open lcis opened 12 years ago

lcis commented 12 years ago

Hi, I would like to install the Repetier-Firmware. I had a quick look into the Configuration.h. The settings are quite different compared to Marlin.

Before I start searching and reading all the docs, I have a question:

Is there a simple "how-to" for Migrating from Marlin to Repetier?

My data:

Repetier-Host-Mac Marlin V 1.0 RC2 3DPrinter: ORD Bot Hadron Arduino Mega 2560/RAMPS 1.4 Extruder: MakerGear Plastruder

No, there is now how-to. But the difference is not that high. Same motherboard type 33 for ramps, same steps etc. Only the names are sometimes different and maybe the units differ slightly. But if you have a running marlin config it should be easy to convert. Go the configuration from top to bottom and change values if needed. Most values can be changed later with the eeprom settings function in the host.

ok, let's see what I can do.

Hey, sry to revive an old thread but was wondering how you got on with this? I'm trying to achieve the same thing and am looking at the configuration.h file scratching my head?! Do you happen to have any hints or even better a Configuration.h I can look at? It would greatly help :)

Sorry for the late reply. I installed the Repetier-Firmware again a couple of days ago (I wanted to use the ReprapWorld Keypad and LCD with my Printer) . Are you still searching for a Configuration.h?

7immer commented 11 years ago

Gave up on that one. Had to do lots of trial and error instead. Still dont know if its all 100%

lcis commented 11 years ago

OK, Which Firmware are you using?

boelle commented 6 years ago

i'm not sure if @repetier could make the online config read a marlin config file

but its much faster to just open the config tool and start from one end and search for the values in the marlin config file

to be honest i would say this one can be closed unless it can serve as inspiration for a new feature
