New Marlin firmware?

[Roxy]

Are you saying that at this time there isn't really any benefit to updating the firmware?

Well, it depends on what kind of printer you have and the things you do with it. But if you have a MakerFarm printer, the BeckDac fork does most of the good stuff and it is super stable with a lot of people using it.

Does that fork also contain all the safety enhancements in the newer versions of marlin? Such as watchdog and thermal runaway protection?

It is organized a little bit differently. The names are slightly different in the Configuration_adv.h file. But it has watchdog stuff.

If you want the absolutely latest features go get the Marlin Release Candidate (RC2). But if you want a very stable and usable firmware with lots of good features, BeckDac will give that to you.

Thanks for the info. I chose to go back to the beckdac version and its very nice. SD card works again too (was broken on RC1). You know of anyway of increasing the ABL grid points from 3x3? I've tried updating the variable in the config.h but it seems to ignore that. I'm interested in trying 4x4 since my sensor kinda kills the space to measure in.
