Ormerod 1 firmware 1.09 can't select tool

Hi, I'm still using my old Ormerod 1 but when I tried to fix the axis compensation found out my old firmware had a M556 bug so updated to 1.09 using the reprap page guide. But now the hot end won't work properly and I get a "no tool selected" error using Pronterface

Today the hot end did get hot even with giving the same the error, but when I tried to print an older gcode from the SD that had worked before I upgraded firmware the error says "Attempting to extrude with no tool selected." So the same issue as the hot end. Also the print head seemed to be moving inaccurately for the print, But with no filament being extruded it was hard to be sure, but seemed to be very thick layers.

I had to adjust all the home(XYZ All) for the proper bed corners and the bed leveling G32 or G29 give errors "Invalid G code"
So it won't do a four corner bed leveling either - but that is less important than the hot end and extruder not being selected tools.

Do I need a different firmware?
I looked at firmware 2.05 but I don't find any .bin file to use.

This is the config.g since the update - I just changed the Z probe P number

I also see Firmware 1.26 is the latest for this board, but I can't find 1.26 as a download anywhere.
I looked in the 2.05 but do not see a .bin file or anything marked as 1.26
Thanks for any help you can give!
Debating just getting a CR-10 V3...

Release 2.05.1 for the Duet2 also contains 1.26.1 for the older Duets:
[github.com]

Thanks for the reply, I don't see anything with the RepRapFirmware1.26.1.bin in there at all.
I use the CMD window and bossac to upload the firmware.
I searched the web for RepRapFirmware-1.26 but nothing.
Maybe it has a different naming convention now?
Thanks!

It's the RepRapFirmware.bin file at [github.com]. You will need to make some changes to your config.g file, for example to add M574 commands to configure the endstop switches.

Ok, finally found it! I kept clicking on Code and downloaded the zip folder. Didn't see the list, assumed it was the same as the ZIP...
I will let you know if it works!
Thanks very much for the help!

Nope, I can not get it to work. The homes don't home. I reversed the X direction, but it doesn't home the X. Y seems to work.
I have so many copies of configs and SYS I'm not even sure which is which - I've tried like four firmwares...

I've modified the homeall in an attempt to fix it I only added the reverse sign on the X directions (but also changed the S1 to S0 in config)
(also think I would need to uncomment the 4k7 resistor line - but not 100% sure)

Do I give up on printing square shapes on my old Ormerod 1? (assuming I can get back to 0.78)

Have you tried making a brand new config?
[configtool.reprapfirmware.org]

I did once, but willing to try again... I did it with a different firmware, so... Maybe(?)
Thanks for the idea

OK! That was a different config builder than I used before. Much better results! I had to adjust the Z home XY coordinates but the rest seems OK so far. Bed and hot end worked this time. I'm hoping I can adjust the XYZ axis compensation, that is what started this attempted update...
But that was a massive step forwards!
Thanks very much for all the help everyone!

So that was lots of work. I got the axis to all home and heaters to work. but the bed leveling doesn't work right. It has the wrong corner points. I don't see them in the new config to allow me to adjust them. Can I just add those lines from my old config? My bed is so far from level that it can't print without the G32 function.

I haven't gotten as far as trying the axis offset that was the initial goal for the firmware update...
Thanks again for the help!

You will need to either use mesh bed levelling instead (perhaps with just 4 points), or set up a bed.g file and use G32.
