Individual changes and building of firmware

[Ford32]

Hi,

I already managed to upload a .bin file to my flashforge dreamer.
Now i would like do do some modifications like silent stepper drivers and maybe the heating cartridge of thermistor.

1. what .zip should di i need to change? FlashForge_Marlin-marlin_2.0.x.zip or FlashForge_Marlin-0.15.1.zip?
2. what software do i need for the changes and the building?
   -> Is Arduino IDE sufficient to do the changes and get my .bin file? (if yes, what board do i need to select to build it?)

• also the windows installer did not work for me because it was missing some .dll file

Many Thanks to all the contributors of this project!

I did struggle quite a bit because many things that are obvious for you guys, weren't for me it seems.

Greetings.

check out the code base with git clone ... or if you just want to checkout a snapshot, and modify that, just click on "code", then download .zip snapshot of this branch:

what software do i need for the changes and the building?

https://platformio.org/install/cli

marlin_builder.sh is the script that sits on above the customized marlin directory to help build the fw.

I would advise you that if you are not familiar with Marlin modification, compilation, and flashing/reflashing, you may want to consider this very advanced territory.
