*DISCLAIMER AS USUAL:
This works for ME on my printer. It SHOULD work on your Mosaic just fine, but there may be things you want to tweak (if you are familiar with them) or change (if something doesn't work) in your configuration files.

 The only thing I believe may truly vary is the INVERT_Y_DIR, because I may or may not have mine setup wrong :) Simple test: if Y+ or Y- sends the bed in the wrong direction, then reverse it!

USAGE:
Extract, use Arduino 22 (or maybe 1.0, though I had issues) to open Marlin.pde, and Upload to your Arduino. Verify the config files first if you want to be extra extra safe.

Hey rich
Thanks for the file I just ordered a new arduino with ramps and will test on that one first
Not that I don't trust you lol I just am not up to speed with these boards I'm building a large scale
3d printer that will have a 2 foot square build platform so I'm using my mosaic to build parts I may need I don't want to screw up a working printer lol
I also got a book on programming an arduino and they don't mention any other file types
But sketches am I missing something
Thanks again rich

Hi Rich,

I use Marlin current from github using Arduino 1.0 and some other Mosaic users are using it as well so it does work in Arduino 1.0 (at minimum use 23) (PDE get's renamed INO). For anyone curious the two files that should be different from distributed are pins.h and configuration.h.. I will have to take a look at rich's and see if ours are different..

Hey Billy,

I just went with the RC2 build as it was a known quantity. As far as
Arduino, not sure, but on my Win7 machine here it works on 022 but not
1.0. I didn't bother with 023 since it works on 22 :) But that can
certainly vary by platform, etc.

You shouldn't have to modify pins.h as of RC2 when he fixed a bug that
had the fan on the wrong pin. Configuration.h you absolutely must
change, and of course you can just use mine as a guide if nothing
else. I always open the previous version and new version configs side
by side and compare/transfer where needed just to be safe (in case
format/arguments were changed for example).

Hi.
I've just uploaded the firmware with Arduino  023. 
Arduino 1.0 did not want to compile it.

Question: 
With this firmware at the start of a print the X and Y carriages want to jump off the rail. 
I don't have the end stops: is it the reason why it travels outside the limits or it is Slic3r issue?
Also, where can I find information about installing end-stops on Mosaic? The manual does not say much about it.
Thanks!

I found the line in Slic3r G-code tab that homes all axes.
Sorry.
