I was able to get Marlin v1.1.6 working with my MakerGear m2 Revision E with the black Z motor.
The only thing thats not 100% is setting the bed height starting point via software (Makergear QuickStart App).
I had to hard code the starting height in firmware, which isnt the best. But its changeable with a recompile / upload.
I also enabled linear advance, and its amazing.
This seems to be working and I havent run into an issue other the above yet.
If anyone is interested in helping me get it 100% then I would feel better about posting the code.
Marlin v1.1.6 working, except for bed height
Re: Marlin v1.1.6 working, except for bed height
I'm interested, but not sure I could help
I was able to flash factory FW using Arduino 1.8.1 instead of recommended ancient 1.5.x (which caused all kind of conflicts with libraries I'm using)...

Re: Marlin v1.1.6 working, except for bed height
Did you enable EEPROM_SETTINGS in the Configuration.h file? The default in Marlin is for that to be disabled which wouldn't allow for setting changes / updates via G-Code.
I've since moved to automatic bed-leveling with a BL-Touch, but this to me sounds like what your issue may be.

Re: Marlin v1.1.6 working, except for bed height
I have linear advance running on my prusa MK3, and it's indeed amazing.
Hoping to get it running on my M2 as well. Is that in a firmware update, or did you just update marlin FW yourself?
I hope it's coming in future firmware. Great feature

Re: Marlin v1.1.6 working, except for bed height
DjW were you ever able to get this working 100% and if so would you be willing to share the details and/or firmware files? I recently bought an Rev C that I've added E3Dv6 and some of the Rev E features. But it would be nice to get the linear advance functionality working here as well while I'm at it.
Re: Marlin v1.1.6 working, except for bed height
I just got Marlin 1.1.9 working on my MakerGear M2 with the silver Z motor, not sure which rev that is. I can share the files if anyone is interested. I have a flexion with an all metal E3D and was dying to try out linear advance.

Re: Marlin v1.1.6 working, except for bed height
Yes please! I have the silver Z motor as well. I would really like to use Linear advance but I'm not ready to jump into the deep end on upgrading the whole machine yet.
Thanks!
