    Hi Guys

    I am in the process of changing my R1 to run an E3D cyclops hotend.
    My question is what do i have to change in the firmware to allow both extruders to use the same heater cartridge & thermistor?

    i have looked in pins.h but wasn't 100% sure what needed to be changed.

    Thanks Josh

    Should be in the config.h. There should be a spot to define how many extruders and then another that defines heaters and thermistors. Fill in the current one with the correct value, leave the others as they are (not defined). I believe there will be some other things you'll need to play with such as allow long retractions and some others ;) Cool project, be sure to start a thread on it! :D

    Newest version of Marlin has made it a bit easier to use an extruder like a Cyclops. Look near the beginning of Configuration.h to see the section on Mixing Extruder.
