    Slicer should not matter. You could just do these in the GCode console.

    Someone else who uses the EEPROM for this can chime in.
    I much prefer NOT doing that (my preference).

    o you mean temporarily though the g-code window. I did not try that I guess I should try that to see if it temporarily changes, but i want it to be through the firmware

    EEPROM IS permanent.

    See, that is why I don't like using it. It causes confusion.

    I will just try again tonight through the firmware, obviously not through RC4 now, and see what it does...but I have a feeling it will do the same thing

    Comment out the line in Configuration.h that mentions EEPROM, this is temporary as it will be re-enabled later. Then using the M92 command you can set it on they fly. The format is:
    Code:
    M92 Ennn
    Where nnn is the number of desired steps.
    Test 100 mm extrusion per the way Thomas Sanladerer does it in his demonstration video on YouTube.
    Once you find a number you can enable EEPROM again.

    The big advantage to EEPROM is that settings override firmware defaults and survive power cycling. You should still be able to set things on the fly even with EEPROM enabled.
    The big disadvantage of EEPROM is that the settings override firmware defaults.

    A stupid thing about Marlin is that flashing a new version or reflashing the firmware does not erase what may be in EEPROM memory already.

    If you have an LCD controller add-on you can also adjust it in the Motion sub-menu.

    For those that want to test the latest and greatest Marlin RCBugFix here are the Auto-Leveling configuration files for last night's source files. This has a fix for the M190 command already in it and will form the basis for RC5.

    Of course the same proviso applies to this as with any files I have posted in this thread.

    What's new since RC4
    • Fix for M190 Heat Bed never matching temperature
    • Fix for garbage displayed at the beginning of Level Bed LCD menu item
    • Menu item for PID autotuning added
    These are Auto-Level enabled. You will need to modify them if you want to change to MESH. The files are for the following models.
    • Robo3D R1 w/ 8 mm threaded rods = RC4BugFix_Robo8mm.rar
    • Robo3D R1+PLUS and Lead Screw upgraded R1's = RC4BugFix_RoboPLUS.rar
    • Robo3D R1 upgraded with 3rd party TR8*8 lead screws = RC4BugFix_RoboTR8-8.rar

    Simple instruction.
    1. Download the current BugFix from this link: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/archive/RCBugFix.zip
    2. Download the appropriate attachment and uncompress the files overwriting the one from Marlin
    3. Compile and Upload

    Thank you Waldo for the update,

    Waldo/Mark
    I also figured out what was wrong uploading, I had the wrong filepath so I'd continutally upload RC3 without any updates...opps fail on my part big time. Thanks for all your help

    Does this mean there is a script to run the tuning and save the results automatically?

    It's now built into the firmware, no script. You just select it from the Control menu I believe, I haven't tried it yet so I'm not 100%. Menu item is disabled by default.

    @WADZOQUADZ Marlin developers found the bug and just commited new code to RCBugFix a few minutes ago that fixes the garbage on the display when you select Level Bed. Just follow the links in message #271 if you want to try it out.

    I'm just getting to this thread so I haven't read anything but your first post so I apologize if this has been solved.

    I am a programmer, and I really like Beyond Compare, you can select two files(or more) in windows explorer after installing it and compare them it will show you every change there is. It does have a 30 day trial though.

    Ok back to reading this thread from the beginning so I know whats up :)

    I"m all caught up. Not sure how I missed this year old thread.( nearly ). So much info, without looking at the actual code I basically just have an overview.

    I have a second Robo on the way so I might dive in on this then.

    On a side note: I program in C++ for a living.. I cannot stand arduino's IDE, do the people (marlin) actually write their code and debug in that POS? if so have mercy on them lol. ( I haven't looked into it )
