Auto bed Leveling with proximity sensor

Post by guysh » Sat Jun 27, 2015 12:24 pm

Hi All,

I'm trying to install a proximity sensor in my M2 printer, something similar to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcGFLwj0pnA or http://www.instructables.com/id/Enable- ... /?ALLSTEPS

I have all the HW and the printed parts ready but I have some issues with my Marlin Firmware.

The Auto bed leveling requires and updated Marlin version compared to what I have but when trying to upload the latest Marlin version my Rambo board stops working. I've changed the Motherboard settings to 301 but it still doesn't work.

Any other modifications in the configuration.h file other than the motherboard?

My M2 printer is from June 2013

Help is appreciated.

Yes, bringing up Marlin on a printer requires heavy modification of Configuration.h, and sometimes other files.

You may want to try out MG's own probe-enabled firmware: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2097&start=10#p10298
