Marlin Firmware - VScode PlatformIO Install - Build Basics 

It cannot be stressed how vital this kind of educational presentation is, especially to first-timers who are holding a BTT board with a terse little card in point 4 font and going WTF. A lot of us have been there. Thank you very much.

excellent content, I looked for everything on how to install the original fysetc e4 firmware and your information was the most relevant to trying to solve my problem. very good👍

It's the best tutorial I've seen so far, really great.

A major thing to consider also is how your screen, I have a BTT TFT E3 V3.0, and I didn't realize for a long time until trying to print higher temp filaments recently that the screen firmware also has max values for temperature safety and you need to modify the .ini file when updating the screen firmware. I was upgrading the temp in Marlin but my screen only raised it to 275, but in Marlin mode, it would raise to above it, that's when I realized. Hope this helps someone with an issue. Ha ha.

This is how you teach - perfect!

I miss the days of working within the Arduino IDE directly and just clicking upload.... I feel like the docker/VScode/linux dev container BS is so overly complicated. I have not been able to get the dependencies to all install without errors in VScode.

Ahhhh.... When ive got VSC open im constantly getting pop ups that ruin the play time. Im talking every 10seconds or so and also the c++ errors when VSC starts up. Confuses the hell out of me as i didnt know what was wrong but hopefully now i do. I just hit install x64 and then added the Platformio, marlin, and C++ in VSC but it never seems to jell. Me now thinks time to uninstall and do it all properly.. You Sir may have wisened me up to the next level (which there seems to be so many). It was getting seriously depressing failing everytime. THANK YOU.

Nice video Ed.. I built my corexy 300 x 300 x 300 printer with a bigtree tech skr 1.3 board what configuration do think I should use .. it’s a home built machine from parts I acquired myself mate… cheers from Australia..

Thanks for sharing & all the knowledge and work put into this video❤

extremely useful tutorial. Thanks

Question. I have an Lk5 pro but would like to replace the motherboard and touchscreen with an ender 3 max motherboard/touchscreen. If I utilize Marlin, can I make this work, or are the two systems incompatible? Please advise, and thank you in advance.

This is invaluable. Gold in the shape of a video. Thank you thank you thank you!

thanks for you explanation, very educational. I will be following you...

So if you have 2 different boards. Say a SKR 1.4 and an SKR 2.0. How do you prevent VS Code from overwriting your config files? Each board is on different printers with different features. I would not want to overwrite either the config.h or the config_adv.h files because they are needed in the future. Thanks very good video.

Great video thank you. What about arduino mega2560 adk

great tutorial. I'll have to watch it a few more times. vs code is freaking weird.

Not connecting to the COM port in Windows 10.

Thank you.

Amigo, Obrigado pelo seu tempo em ajudar nós leigos, estava vendo o esquema eletrico da skr2. queria colocar um esp32 hm-et- live que tem sobrado aqui , com jumpers, para usar o wifi. (sem ser aquele modo comprado). por acaso ja tentou usar?

I'm hoping you will read this and give me some assistance please. I have spent, on and off, two days trying to compile my own Marlin firmware but on every attempt, I'm stymied by PlatformIO. It just won't install and I see very lengthy error messages full of incomprehensible jargon I can't cope with. It seems it needs configurations from Python, so one error message demanded that I install Python, which I did but it made no difference. I have watched your well presented RU-vid video on this, and a few others, too. In no case are any of you experiencing PlatformIO errors. I would love it if someone would help me crack this infernal block by PlatformIO. Thanks

hey ed I was wondering if you could make a video on how to do this on the skr pro v1.0 like you did before but an new updated video on how to do this thank you for your videos

and from now on you will be redoing it every single time there is new update. just from that reason KLIPPER user here

Great video

thank you

For the algo.
