Marlin: Updating to latest version

[jonnyk2]

So I am not sure what I am missing? But I uploaded the latest version of Marlin because I wanted the enhanced auto leveling . When I run a g28 it goes nuts and Rams the head into the bed. I have used a text comparison site to check the differences in my working configuration.h as well as the .adv files. The only differences are where I need to change some of the measurements and offsets etc. is there another file that I need to compare as well?

We are missing some important information to be able to help you.

What branch/version are you on when you see this? (If not RC6 or RCBugFig please try with one of these first)
Some more info about your system. (DELTA, CoreXY, ... )
Your probe/endstop configuration.

Info where/what endstop/probe you really connected.

The best would be to copy your Configuration.h to Configuration.h.txt and drag it into your browsers editor window.

@jonnyk2 you should check Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h.
Depending on how old you previous configuration is some of the #define options have changed their names, please double check that.

[jonnyk2]

latest config_h.txt
latest config_adv.txt
older configuration_adv.txt

[jonnyk2]

Missed one sorry

older configuration_h.txt

[jonnyk2]

There are some differences in the offsets and rod measurements ,but thats because I re-uploaded the older firmware and I am using that. I would change those parameters before uploading the new firmware. Something else was causing the issues though.

[jonnyk2]

Jbrazio, I checked again in those areas that you recommended , but I don't see anything missing

I'm not an expert on DELTA but diff the files I see the following:
(-) old config, (+) new config

-#define INVERT_X_DIR true    // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
-#define INVERT_Y_DIR true    // for Mendel set to true, for Orca set to false
-#define INVERT_Z_DIR true    // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
+#define INVERT_X_DIR false    // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
+#define INVERT_Y_DIR false    // for Mendel set to true, for Orca set to false
+#define INVERT_Z_DIR false    // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true

If you printer is a Kossel, why don't you start with one of the example config files for Kossel ?

latest config_h.txt

It looks like that it's similar to configuraton file of customized version of the Marlin...

Is this an issue of older Configuration files causing mayhem?
I'm liking the configuration versioning idea more.

[jonnyk2]

Thanks for the all the suggestions folks. I am a little confused on some of the advice because I am brand new at this. From the feedback it looks like I need to start off with a different download of the latest Marlin build, one that is specifically for a kossel type 3d printer? Or like jbrazio said start with an example configuration of a Kossel. I am not seeing where the example config files are located.
