May need Arduino 22 (vs 1.0) to compile, not sure. 

Downloaded the Marlin 1.0 beta 1 zip file from: https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/tags

Applied my own config changes for Mosaic (minus enabling SD support), and including my configuration.h. You can either replace the one in the zip with mine, or open them side by side and change what you want :)

These are MY successful settings, with X, Y and Z min endstops installed. If you don't have all three, either print them or edit config accordingly.

Oh, and of course my steps_per_mm may be different than yours. As
always, copy yours in or recalibrate accordingly.

Thanks for this Richard.

I'm puzzling my way through a retract problem with Marlin-non-gen6
which I'm kind of hoping might be fixed in the main branch. So I'm
pleased to see a verified working config set.

My last attempt at Marlin V1 beta seemed to have screwy thermistor
readings. Are they working ok for you?

Drat, darn and dang it.

Didn't notice the very prominent word 'Mosaic'.

I'm on a Prusa. Sigh.

Still, if at first i >do< succeed, I don't learn as much. That's what
my Prusa is for.

It's fairly easy to build this for the Prusa. Just update pins and
configuration files. Compiled with Arduino 0022.

I was able to compile and upload with both the 22 and 1.0 IDE.

Anyone else have trouble printing large circular objects when using Marlin? I can't seem to print gears or cylinders without losing steps eventually on the newest version, 1.0. Which is too bad because Marlin absolutely trounces Sprinter in features in the newest version. It's so refined, and the temperature control with accidental cold feed prevention is wonderful no to mention my temp swing only about .01 degrees C when printing now, PID FTW. I tried to print the Turtle Shell Racer gears and couldn't get them to run until I switched back to Sprinter. Same with the rear wheels....

1.0 was actually supposed to help with that. You can go in and change
the "jerk" settings in the firmware config, to see if it's too high
for your config. If you can reproduce, hop onto IRC sometime and
message EvdZ, or if you're bold raise a bug on github :)

See, now that's what I thought. I had turned down the settings in my last version but still had an issue once in a great while on certain prints, adjusting my stepper driver current helped some prints. Sprinter never had the issue. I can recreate the problem over and over so getting more information shouldn't be too much trouble. Thank for the pointers. I will likely look for and change my jerk settings and then head over to IRC if I can't get there on my own.

Thanks again!

marlin's default 'jerk' is far too high, you probably need to halve
it, and then halve it again if you still have troubles

I have had very good results with the beta of Marlin, which with your
configuration.h have done both speedier and less irregular prints.

I built from the Git version of Marlin (I like living on the
edge :) ), and was reasonable successful, however one word of caution,
since Marlin supports multiple extruders (up to 3 currently) they have
also changed some pin assignments. So if you want to build it from the
Git version, please also edit the fan pin (in pin.h) look for
motherboard version 3 (which is what 33 gets translated too) and
change it back to 9 if you have the standard recommended setup. The
new Marlin default assignment is 4, which is just a hole in your ramps
board unless you solder the fan wires to that pin or add pinheaders to
that group of 12 pins on your board.

Also, I had to change the direction of the Y-axis in the config file
to:

#define INVERT_Y_DIR true // for Mendel set to true, for Orca set
to false

Just a heads up - happy extruding

Wont compile with Arduino 1.0. Use 022 or 023.
