~ VSCode squiggles are gonna be the death of me

Hello I hope this finds a VSCode pro here. I have a Ender 3 pro whise mainboard went south. Swapped with SKR 1.4 Turbo w/ 4 TMC 2226 drivers. Ive been told I can use TMC 2209 drivers in place. ANYHOW I downloaded latest MARLIN bugfix 2.0.9 I believe. AND configurations 2.0 bugfix I followed to the T videos by Teaching Tech and Chris's basement on installing the SKR 1.4 Turbo. Ive watched both videos countless times. When I do I follow along, pause the video, make changes in fimweare, then resume video, and repeat. I have tried to tweak firmwear maybe 8 times and EVERYTIME I get the cursed squigles ~ at top of config file. Cant compile and make a *.cur file with a ~ still there. Help in Bel Air Im not adding yet the wifi or auto bed leveling yet And NOT using sensorless homing want to use end stopsI have also tried non bugfix versions of MARLIN and ConfigAt least the BTT TFT3.5 screen looks coolEnder 3 ProSKR 1.4 Turbo W/ TMC 2226 stepper drivers120v 750 watt bed heater w/ SSR300 X 300 bed (ender extender 300XL)dual Z steppers on one mainboard connection ( for now) plan on getting another Z stepper wire later

I did notice I could only download the latest VSCode v 1.65 and that the VSCode Teaching Tech and Chris was using had different line numbers when tweaking. But I KNEW to look for SAME text , it may have only been a difference of 8-20 lines


ANY FIRMWEAR GERU's OUT THERE??

Post a link to the Video I will give it a try.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I followed the instructions, compiled got error could not find processor rebooted VSCode compiled perfect.

Using 7-ZIp could you zip this entire directory post on a share program like Google Drive and share the link.
Will see if I can find the error and re-post for you with comments about this error. This is to help you learn about troubleshooting software errors.

If then you still cannot see the error I will post a zip of the I created firmware.

P.S. How are you going to wire the display with ribbon cables or another way.

Hello Rob Thank you so much for helping. Do you want me to send my results in zip form of vscode I got? And as far as the tft 3.5 display, Im using ribbon cables supplied

Zip directory of your modified Marlin firmware used for VS-Code.

Enabled your display.

Rob right now Im doing it again.

Wish you the best of luck.

if you get a error post your Configuration with your changes.

Rob nope no luck still get errors when compile this time I wrote most steps down as did them . i wrote to teaching tach asking what version vsCODE he used in those videos, havent heard back, LOL I even looked online for vsCODE firmware expert I could pay to fix ewrrors LOL Thats how desperate I'm gettingBruce

Rob today I down loaded for github the config.h and config.adv files already set up for ender 3 with skr 1.4 Now Im not sure it for turbo 1.4 as I cant find the platform INI file?

ROB Hers my latest attempt I down loaded config files from github for ender 3 pro and skr 1.4 turbo the ini from marlin 2.0 When copiled this one it only showed 1 error about LPC1769 ??

VS-Code 1.65.2

I got the same error then saved all rebooted an it compiled the 2d time.

compiled second time? sucesfully ??

Very good.

Now you are dangerous

I have just started enabling these lines, it makes setting the Z-Offset a thousand times simpler.

Configuration_adv.h Changes

Path:Marlin\Configuration_adv.h

Code:

---

#define PROBE_OFFSET_WIZARD
#define PROBE_OFFSET_WIZARD_START_Z -2.0

Enable Babystepping
#define BABYSTEPPING
#define BABYSTEP_DISPLAY_TOTAL
#define BABYSTEP_ZPROBE_OFFSET

---

"now I am dangerous"?? Wish I had more experience understanding what you want me to do. make those chages in configuration_adv.h on my end? And making those changes will finially compile? Just want confirmation

Those line for configuration_adv.h allow you to have another menu location below.

Click > Configuration > Advanced Settings Click
Probe Offset > Click Z Probe Wizard

3D Printer will home
Using Move menu items adjust ti the thickness of a piece of paper of a filler gauge.
Clink on Done
Find Store Settings and save.

start a print, with a couple skirt loops on first layer.
While printing the skirt if it is a little too thick or too thin select menu item babystep Z.

Click Select Tune
Select BabyStep Z adjust until you see that perfect layer
Back out and find Store Settings new Z-Offset is saved

When I first started this menu Item was not available an could take a long long time to adjust Z-Offset.
Later it would take several minutes.

With this LCD control I can set a new Z-Offset is short order.
Once Z-Offset is set you can print over and over again without messing with any settings.
Some times you can go months. Other time it is perfect just with Probe Offset Wizard.

can we back up a little bit? Im to make those chages in config adv h? #define PROBE_OFFSET_WIZARD#define PROBE_OFFSET_WIZARD_START_Z -2.0Enable Babystepping#define BABYSTEPPING#define BABYSTEP_DISPLAY_TOTAL#define BABYSTEP_ZPROBE_OFFSETand THEN COMPILE? that will give me *.cur ?

No you do not have to.

It is only a suggestion, when you get your current firmware working real good.An want to make tuning Z-Offset simpler.

Im not at where I can load basic firmware yet. I "rebooted" turned on my pc this morning, started up vscode and STILL getting "SYNTAX ERROR: INVALID SYNTAX" Under ENVIROMENT : LPC1769 status: FAILED after compiling :-(

Rob, HI, do you still have the compiled firmware for my printer? NOTHING I do compiles succesfuly All I have right now is a paper weight :-(

Bruce19 it is in a folder called Bruce19 on my hard drive, and Now it is also a link on my google Drive.

Now this is what I do When I get a working any thing I duplicate and archive creating a working version.
When I want to make changes I duplicate the folder renaming to a folder to show it is different.

Example Folder Name "Marlin 2.0.6.1 Blu"
Example Folder Name "Marlin 2.0.6.1 Blu with BL touch"

Rob Im sorry to ask you for this but THIS is FIRST time I've ever uploaded frimwear into my 3d printer. What steps do I take? Which folder under Bruce19 do I put on microSD card? Do I need to ADD anything to what you did?

This is a good you tube video for showing how to uploaded firmware into your 3d printer.

ROB I MUST be doing something wrong because I downloaded from your google drive, unzipped it. uploaded to vscode then clicked compile. I get the exact same error about LPC1769 and same "path" in picture I sent. I have a paperweight right now When YOU said you were able to compile, did you wind up with a *.CUR file?? Thevideo you linked was too advanced at the moment for me, Im sorry

I end up with a .BIN file
What do you have on your SD card.

Copy bin file to SD card an boot this should change the name to FIRMWARE
As your printer is as you said dead will re-post Bruse19.zip to include Bin file to Google Drive

Think I see what you did.
