    The brief searching I'm doing is that "Skynet" firmware is just a fork of Marlin for the A8, so I'm not really seeing the point?

    Just use Marlin.

    Before you jump on the Skynet bandwagon, understand what it really is.

    Skynet is just a specific modification to Marlin (almost entirely stock version) with a couple of hardware pins switched around and configured specifically for the Anet A8 hardware. The versions I posted here for the Robo R1 is exactly what you would need and matches Skynet feature for feature without the need to modify the pins back to their defaults or without editing all the A8 specific stuff needed in Configuration.h to make it work on our printers.

    But, if you want to put in the effort to make Skynet Firmware (still just Marlin) work on the Robo, here is the source:
    https://github.com/SkyNet3D/Marlin

    If you guys really want I can show you the one line to change so you can call your printer Skynet too! ;)

    In Configuration.h
    Code:
    #define STRING_SPLASH_LINE1 "SkyNet3D V2.4.5 (GH)" // will be shown during bootup in line 1
    #define STRING_SPLASH_LINE2 "Marlin " SHORT_BUILD_VERSION // will be shown during bootup in line 2
    In Version.h
    Code:
    #define MACHINE_NAME "SkyNet3D"

    Is it possible for you to post a link to where I can find the firmware for the full graphics display for the Robo R1 or send me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

    The firmware is just the firmware, you have to download it (either Waldo's Mesh leveling firmware here on the forum, or from robo 3d main site) and make the changes to the config.h file.
