Where does one go to find the most current version of Marlin

[tsteever]

I want to see if some of the issues I have been having are related to the firmware. I am getting terribly inconsistent first layer performance. I want to try a newer version of the firmware but I have no idea where you get it from anymore.

git clone https://github.com/beckdac/Marlin.git

Not sure if you're looking for a specific build...

Hmm. Didn't know someone had done a i3v fork.

Yah.

I could've sworn that I read that the version Makerfarm preloads is available somewhere as well, but can't seem to find it now. (EDIT: A version in a repo. I realize there is the MakerFarm zip file...)

I don't think the beckdac version is exactly that..., I think it tracks the MarlinFirmware version, but with Makerfarm's presets. Honestly, I haven't had time to figure it out for sure..., so I could be way off.

Absolute newest version is on github: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin
Recent releases: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases

Not sure what is "most stable" though.
Since I'm using Clough42's IBFE I am running his copy of Marlin: http://clough42.com/instructions/marlin-firmware-setup/

Yes, I too thought there was a github fork for maker farm that someone was updating. I have a good version now but I like to stay on top of things. Not sure if the EricZ version is the one that people are referencing.

No... The main development is now at: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin

But for now... Stay away from the development branch. Use the release branch. The Development branch is not stable right now.

Hi Roxy:

I don't mean to be dense, but when you say "release branch", are you referring to whatever form a particular manufacturer releases their code in? Is there a particular repo you're referencing?

I ask, since "MarlinFirmware" only shows a "Development" branch...

Thx! -- John

Most Open Source GPL type things have a Release branch and a Development branch. If you want something that is stable and don't need the latest features, you would pick something from the Release branch. If you can tolerate some pain and need the absolutely latest and greatest features, you would usually pick something from the Development branch.

But I made a bad assumption. Marlin doesn't have those two branches. Right now, its most recent release is busted with respect to Auto Bed Leveling.

Auuuggghhhhh!!!!!
