Compiling and uploading marlin 2.1.3

I’m trying to compile and upload marlin 2.1.3 from my computer to the mother board mks genl v.1 .
The blue line in the bottom right that shows the compiling begins and then it freeze
I don’t have any error message
My computer was able to install the driver of the mother board
The cable that connect the motherboard to the pc is ok
Nothing is working. Any help pls ???

You seem to be using Arduino IDE

This is old and slow and only supports a small subset of boards

I strongly suggest you install platformio under vscode (text editor)

See [marlinfw.org]

If you continue to have issue I also advise you join the Marlin discord where you can get live help. [discord.com]

Well I don’t know if it is just me or the upgrade or Marlin’s upgrades or the combination but I’ve just had a “looong” running conversation with ChatGPT in regard to an installation using VScode, Marlin CONFIGURATION_H_VERSION 02010205 and LightBurn Core 2.0.04. I had to Manually create a Device based on GRBL-M3 and make several alterations and additions to Marlin to make a dual Y-axis motor, dual Y-axis end-stop custom Openbuild ACRO machine running a typical Arduino Mega w/ Ramps 1.4 combination and get Lightburn to send M3/M5 codes to Pin 6 to fire the Diode Laser I’m using. I finally got it to run and printed an accuracy test pattern. Why doesn’t the Marlin Device in Lightburn have options to control the M3/M5 vs. M106/M107 commands? Why is the custom build option in the devices so limited? And last but least what needs tightening up to improve the symmetry of the X-Y movement?

Wow would forever grateful to see this code. as I have been asking to do something really close to what you just completed.
