What means: There is a better Marlin firmware available.

[jbasia]

Machine wiring is basically finished, now trying connecting OpenPnP with the machine. So far no breakthrough. 

I get this message (which means OpenPnP can "see" my controller). 

There is a better Marlin firmware available. FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin 2.1.1 (Jan 20 2023 13:42:53) SOURCE_CODE_URL:github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:FYSETC SPIDER V22 EXTRUDER_COUNT:3 UUID:cede2a2f-41a2-4748-9b12-c55c62f367ff

Please upgrade to the special PnP version. See info link.

I am using 2.1.x (which is 2.1.1 bugfix) But what means special PnP version, and there was no Info Link (need to add I use Debian Linux, LinuxCNC flavor). 

I can't move with the arrows (I get MOVE_TO_COMMAND missing), however, I can move by inputting G-codes like G0 X10 in the OpenPnP GCode driver console.

I have not finetuned to OpenPnP yet. That is my vanilla M503 (I see some differences with the output on this page )

Forgot the OpenPnP version, it's: 2022-08-01_18.07.09.2a36a8d

I recommend upgrading to the latest test Version of OpenPnP. It is considered very mature now and among many things has better diagnostics for Marlin.

Basically the message means that you haven't configured Marlin for extra rotation axes, typically "Extruder" axes are the default for 3D printing, but in modern OpenPnP we do not want "Extruder" axes because they do not allow full and simultaneous coordinated axis control.

Unlike for TinyG, Duet and Smoothieware, I don't now much about Marlin and how to configure it that way.

Other Marlin users to the help, please!

Thanks for the reply!

I will give that a try ASAP.

So because OpenPNP can't see E0 etc, I presume. I changed the "extruders" from E0, E1, E2 to I, J, K. I can get them to move now in the console with i.e. "G1 A10" . I don't get that warning now. I had to cut it short yesterday and will continue when I am back at the PnP.

I am now on Marlin and will see how far I can go. I have a Smoothie-Controller on stand-by (still packed). I got some Marlin ideas from looking at the LumenPNP Configuration.h/***_adv.h (found on Github). Will do more fine tuning in the next few days.
