Marlin 3D Printer Firmware

Additional documentation can be found at the [Marlin Home Page](//marlinfw.org/). Please test this firmware and let us know if it misbehaves in any way. Volunteers are standing by! ## Marlin 2.1 Bugfix Branch __Not for production use. Use with caution!__ Marlin 2.1 continues to support both 32-bit ARM and 8-bit AVR boards while adding support for up to 9 coordinated axes and to up to 8 extruders. This branch is for patches to the latest 2.1.x release version. Periodically this branch will form the basis for the next minor 2.1.x release. Download earlier versions of Marlin on the [Releases page](//github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases). ## Example Configurations Before you can build Marlin for your machine you'll need a configuration for your specific hardware. Upon request, your vendor will be happy to provide you with the complete source code and configurations for your machine, but you'll need to get updated configuration files if you want to install a newer version of Marlin. Fortunately, Marlin users have contributed dozens of tested configurations to get you started. Visit the [MarlinFirmware/Configurations](//github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations) repository to find the right configuration for your hardware. ## Building Marlin 2.1 To build and upload Marlin you will use one of these tools: - The free [Visual Studio Code](//code.visualstudio.com/download) using the [Auto Build Marlin](//marlinfw.org/docs/basics/auto_build_marlin.html) extension. - The free [Arduino IDE](//www.arduino.cc/en/main/software) : See [Building Marlin with Arduino](//marlinfw.org/docs/basics/install_arduino.html) - You can also use VSCode with devcontainer : See [Installing Marlin (VSCode devcontainer)](http://marlinfw.org/docs/basics/install_devcontainer_vscode.html). Marlin is optimized to build with the **PlatformIO IDE** extension for **Visual Studio Code**. You can still build Marlin with **Arduino IDE**, and we hope to improve the Arduino build experience, but at this time PlatformIO is the better choice. ## 8-Bit AVR Boards We intend to continue supporting 8-bit AVR boards in perpetuity, maintaining a single codebase that can apply to all machines. We want casual hobbyists and tinkerers and owners of older machines to benefit from the community's innovations just as much as those with fancier machines. Plus, those old AVR-based machines are often the best for your testing and feedback! ## Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) Marlin includes an abstraction layer to provide a common API for all the platforms it targets. This allows Marlin code to address the details of motion and user interface tasks at the lowest and highest levels with no system overhead, tying all events directly to the hardware clock. Every new HAL opens up a world of hardware. At this time we need HALs for RP2040 and the Duet3D family of boards. A HAL that wraps an RTOS is an interesting concept that could be explored. Did you know that Marlin includes a Simulator that can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux?

Huge thanks are due to [all the contributors](//github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/graphs/contributors) who regularly patch up bugs, help direct traffic, and basically keep Marlin from falling apart. Marlin's continued existence would not be possible without them.
