Hi. I would like to test my modified Marlin firmware. Please, is available some simulator to test Marlin firmware on PC or I have to test it just on the printer board?

I haven't heard of any 3D print electronics hardware emulators. I would guess you just need to test it on your board. If you don't want to test it on an expensive board, just grab a cheap RAMPS board from ebay to test on.

You can also upload your config file in the Marlin section and ask someone to take a look at it. Just be clear in what you changed because nobody is going to scroll through the file having to find out what's changed winking smiley

There's an avr simulator on github I found after a google search, may be worth a look:

Also take a look at atmel studio, it has an emulator, though I don't know if you can load arduido generated code:

Marlin has an option to run it in Linux by using the linux option in platformio.ini (need to compile using platformio not arduino ide), but it's intended mainly for developers.
