This firmware is a mashup between Sprinter, grbl and many original parts.
(https://github.com/kliment/Sprinter)
(https://github.com/simen/grbl/tree)
Features:
- Interrupt based movement with real linear acceleration
- High steprate
- Look ahead (Keep the speed high when possible. High cornering speed)
- Interrupt based temperature protection
- preliminary support for Matthew Roberts advance algorithm

This firmware is optimized for gen6 electronics.
The default baudrate is 250000.
This gives less communication errors then regular baudrates.
========================================================================================
Configuring and compilation
Install the arduino software version 0018
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
Install the sanguino software, version 0018
http://sanguino.cc/useit
Install pronterface
https://github.com/kliment/Printrun
Copy the Marlin firmware
https:/github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin
(Use the download button)
Start the arduino IDE.
Select Tools -> Board -> Sanguino
Select the correct serial port in Tools ->Serial Port
Open Marlin.pde
Change the printer specific setting in Configuration.h to the correct values.
The following values are the most important:
- float axis_steps_per_unit[].... // Set the correct steps / mm in the corresponding field
- const bool ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = false; // Change if only positive moves are executed
- #define INVERT_x_DIR true // Change if the motor direction is wrong
Click the Upload button
If all goes well the firmware is uploading
Start pronterface
Select the correct Serial Port. Type 250000 in the baudrate field.
Press the Connect button.
