General Discussion

Basic Information:

Printer Model: geeetech i3
MCU / Printerboard: gt2560
Host / SBC surface 4 w linuxmint
klippy.log

Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed
Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there

So i am pretty new, with all of this but I’m currently trying to flash a gt2560 board, but im stuck in the make menuconfig.

I dont know witch communication interface to choose, ive searched quite a bit and can’t find much info about ghe gt2560

Thanks a lot cheers!

Yeah i read that yesterday i get the same .elf.hex file for flashing, but it seems like everyone are flashing their boards with a .bin file.

[mcu]
serial: /dev/ttyUSB0

Copied and pasted from the gt2560 basic config.
It seems like I should use this interface but when I’m in the “make menuconfig” I only have the UART0 - 1 - 2 etc options to choose from

Well I got it working with another board the mks base v1.3 its still an atmega2560 chip and UART0 worked like a charm, I used the generic_ramps.cfg config, all steppers and endstop seem to work! Ill just have some tweaking to do in the printer config because of my franken setup.
