    If you browse around old posts, you'll see where some people have modified the code to get it to work. I believe @Leon Grossman posted about it.

    The Viki2 is supported on the current Marlin firmware, you will need to enable it in Configuration.h and download and install the LiquidTWI2 libraries for Arduino. I don't have a Viki so I can't help anymore than this.

    Knew to open source can I use any marlin firmware on the Robo? I would think no due to its set up for that printer

    Configuration for the printer is largely done in CONFIGURATION.H
    However, you would be on you own for this. Not a horrendous problem since the Marlin devs would be able to respond to specific questions about.

    To add to what Mark said, even though the developers respond, there aren't very many of them so they are currently working on things that interest them and it is hard to get resources to fix issues that don't immediately impact their use of their printers. Please note I am not being critical, just stating facts as they are currently. You are much better off downloading the firmware here and making the few changes as well as adding the libraries necessary, that way all the sensors and movements are configured correctly.

    Line 601 in Configuration.h Don't know if that is all it may not compile unless the U8Glib library is installed in Arduino. There may be more edits necessary such as in pins.h to get the LEDs working.

    I am trying to do the same thing and these are the files I got from Panucatt. Wiring for Ramps 1.4 is the last one with firmware changes. Hope this helps some. I'm still not able to compile mine with temp stat LED enabled using Marlin 1.1.0 RC7
