How To Read the Current Configuration.h from RamBo

[briankb]

I just finished dialing in my new Orion printer and would like to move on to adjusting/upgrading the LCD menu. I understand it can be done via changing the Configuration.h. I also want to change the Pre- Heat settings for PLA and ABS and if possible... add a few new menu commands.

I've searched here, repetier, and even reprap forums and can't seem to find an answer.

Is it possible to download the existing Configuration.h file on the RamBo board? If so how?

You can't pull Configuration.h from the RAMBo. It isn't there. Configuration.h (and many other files) are used to compile a single hex file (the new firmware) that gets uploaded to the board.

As long as you don't erase the eeprom or edit the EEPROM_MODE byte in Configuration.h, you can upload new firmware without overwriting the calibration settings you've made. Also a good idea to create a backup copy of your eeprom settings first (can be done from Repetier-Host, among others) just in case something did go wrong.

Thanks for that! That's what I thought but I could swear I would read a post and someone would mention copying your Configuration.h file. I have exported the eeprom via repetier host.

And I've spent days getting my Orion dialed in so I didn't want to loose that because of a firmware upgrade.

Thanks!!

So I did find a Repetier-091 repo on github.com/seemecnc and I'm going to grab the Configuration.h from there and use it with the 0.92 directly from Repetier. Anything I should know before I try the 0.92 on my Orion?
