        <title>Possible to download FW back to the computer?</title>
        <description> I know this is probably a very elemental thing to ask but is it possible to transfer the FW back off the ramps to the computer or have some way to read the firmware values?
Cheers
D

What firmware are you running and what value are you interested in.<br />
<br />
The firmware itself is compiled binary code.  You CAN retrieve it from the Arduino, but it's totally unreadable and unusable.  The only purpose for doing this is perhaps to back it up or to copy it onto a different machine.</div></blockquote>

I was looking to see how I had the endstops configured, I'll just trial and error it again until it works!<br />
<br />
I'm using Rich Cat's Marlin.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Thank you for your help David, I ran M360 in the Pronterface console but nothing appears to happen, after your suggestion I did a bit of googling and tried M503, this revealed some FW settings but not the ones I was most interested in.<br />
Could it be that the particular FW I'm using does not support the M360 command and if so is there likely to be another command for my FW that will give complete info?<br />
<br />
Sorry to sound like a total dumbass but I'm a total dumbass....<br />
Cheers<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Not exactly, but close...  You can retrieve all the settings that are defined for your printer, but not get the firmware itself. Just run <b>M360</b> and it will dump your settings in the debug window. :)]]></description>
