Configuration files

Configuration files will allow you to customize your firmware without needing to recompile it, you just need to install the firmware most similar to your printer's configuration and adapt it using standard and custom G-codes. For example, you can use it for setup a Sprite Extruder Pro or an Ender extender kit to your Ender3V2 or set your physical settings for the Neo/Max/Plus printer.

If you want to setup all your custom settings after flashing or after load defaults, you can write (with a texteditor) a small config.gco file (or another filename.gco) with content as:

A configuration G-code file should not have any motion command (G0, G1, G28, G29, etc), you can add any configuration G-code, for example you could add an M851 to set your probe offset, M92 E425 to set the extruder steps/mm or a C104 to raise your maximum hotend temperature. To apply a configuration file, simply select it in the printer and press the encoder button.

You can get your current configuration using the G-code M503 note only the values relevant to you and copy them in the configuration file.

For have a description of what each G-code means, refer to Marlin's standard g-code documentation, also review the special custom g-codes.

If the file config.gco is renamed to auto0.g in the SD card it will be loaded automatically at the next boot.
