The average of these is always higher than the glass! Good to know but the bed changes so is best to do each time. Average could be anywhere since the pray isby Dark Alchemist - General
I use hair spray on my bed and something I am wondering is how can ABL work with that? I would think that the ABL would just sit on top and the spray may be low in spots and adjust down to that level so simply doing a Z compensation would be a very bad thing as it would scrap into the glass in spot and in others would be what I need.

DA, The latest code contains a tasks.json to build under Visusal Studio Code using the one of the extensions: windows-arm-none-eabi, linux-arm-non-eabi, or darwin-arm-none-eabi (depending on your platform).

QuoteMicktol @Dark Alchemist. You should be able to send M119 to get the state of the endstops and see if the state is changing when you activate each one.

I have a SKR V1.3 and spent 3 days trying to get Marlin 2.0 to run on it but had a ton of issues with Z that are still unresolved so I am looking for different controlling software. Is there a place to see what I need to do to get this to run on my system with a RRD GLCD?by Dark Alchemist - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future

I am now using Atom but I am not too fond of Platform.io as it seems to be a HUGE resource hog to the point it maxes out my Ryzen 1600 and goes over 100% CPU when I first load it.

It was very simple to add Smoothie but what isn't simple is adding the GLCD because the wires are opposite to what Smoothie uses. Same for MKS boards and now this and I am not going to cut and solder wires when in Marlin I would just head over to the pins file and recompile. I am still looking if anyone has done this but most cut wires and swap them which is barbaric.by Dark Alchemist - Controllers
From what I have read Smoothie is too out of date to be a viable choice. edit: I also found nothing on how to do this or where to go to get Smoothie to flash it on the controller.by Dark Alchemist - Controllers
