Marlin 2.1.x Bugfix on GT2560 rev A+ Error compiling

Greetings,

I get the following errors when trying to compile Marlin in VS Code

Error: Failed to parse Marlin features. See previous error messages.

I've checked the `Marlin->src->core->macros.h` file and there's no sign of a define for EITHER

Anyone any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Your using miss matched config and code versions

Your code does not have EITHER macro as used in the Config files you have.

EITHER and BOTH macros where removed as a unnecessary duplication of others macros that already existed

Get matching versions of code and config files

Or update your config files, replace EITHER with ANY and replace BOTH with ALL, and fix any and all other changes required (which are probably numerous)

Thanks for the response ... even using V2.1.2.2 which will compile although it still doesn't work correctly as it fails to home Z.

Last version that worked for me on this printer was v2.0.7.3 all version after that which I've tried all fail to home z, after the first time the BLTouch probe is triggered the extruder is not raised again and the BLTouch probe is extended which cannot then trigger as it's not been moved up at all.

See these videos for a better understanding;

Updated bugfix 2.1.x configs [attachment 120803 Configuration.zip]

I did ... I couldn't find the configurations for the 2.1.x bugfix version.

However, with some tweaks ... changed stepper drivers and a couple of other things verion 2.1.x bugfix compiles and successfully homes.
