Cool - just to clarify for others - dont copy the pins.h file between the versions - best to just open the two files side-by-side in something like Notepad++ (as it adheres to proper end-of-lines etc) and just transcribe the changes - shouldn't take you more than about 30 seconds.

I remember I had a hell of a time getting the end stops right and the pins for the x motor fan, nozzle fan, and so on in pins.h. I guess the best thing to do would be to put the old and new side by side and just copy.

Nope - that you'll have to deal with yourself.. not sure what specific pin changes would have been neccesary, since the pins for the X3 are defined by making sure you set the motherboard correctly in configuration.h . If you changed them, then either you werent running a standard configured X3, or you altered something else non-standard or used a very old marlin as your starting base.... But the X3 is fully supported with just a configuration.h setting under Motherboard_Type.... *shrug*

But obviously, if you've rewritten bits of the source code you have now for whatever reason, then yes, you will need to repeat that on the new source code folder.. this is why its important to not change things unless you absoloutely have to as you then become locked into your modified firmware and not the 'standard' 'mainline' firmware....

Even all the little settings such as specific pins for specific components for the X3?

What is the best way to update firmware without losing settings?

Yup, take adrians advice. make sure to read through the configuration and set things properly. also make sure to change pins.h file and disable the endstop pins that do not exist on the doodle (ymin, xmin, zmax).

thanks for the quick replies
now I can get it up and running.
my wife keeps telling me she is going to use My SD3 as a boat anchor because it doesn't work ( its been down for several months).

i'll be spitting a new one out "real soon now"™ - I have to finish servicing the wifes cbr1000 tomorrow and finish my firmware update project (since so many peeps having issues on the arduino side) and then push the new firmwares (because I have done 'em every 6 months so far no reason to break a trend ) .... but the as linked by hazer firmware should be good enough.

Just don't forget the endstops...

set the motherboard correctly as per the comments in configuration.h , and also check the endstops are correct (disable/jumper unused ones, and check inverted/noninverted ...)

I have an Azteeg X3 that I am installing on an SD3. (been working on this project over 4 months)
can anyone point me to the wright firmware.
my stepson thought he was helping and loaded the Bukobot firmware
while I was working out of town.
