thanks for all your work

(with no sdcard/screen/ etc..)

if no , do we need to change something in the start/end.gcode / other function of skeinforge to follow the new firmware ?

The previous firmware we have been using has been renamed and therefore relocated to:
https://github.com/mlaws/solidoodle2-marlin_old

A new version of the firmware has been made by forking the newest Marlin_v1 branch. This means that the firmware is up to date and hopefully improved. Obviously, the first commit I have made is to reapply the Solidoodle specific configuration. This repo has been renamed to match the original location:
https://github.com/mlaws/solidoodle2-marlin

Thanks to Neil Martin who is now officially a collaborator.

Quite frankly I found navigating github as a contributing user harder than doing the firmware changes. Took me ages to workout how to make the readme file.

Read the instructions carefully and remember that this is untested so far, so use at your own risk. Having said that I did go through the Solidoodle supplied configuration.h file line by line, checking each and making changes as necessary.

Feedback, testing and comment very welcome.

I originally copied over the changes for the SDCARDDETECT and BEEPER sections but then further errors were appearing elsewhere. I figured it was easier to change the new Marlin to Solidoodle instead of changing the old Solidoodle to suit the new Marlin.

I will organise the github upload in the next day or so after I have sussed it out. Obviously I can't test that its working so that's the only thing that makes me hesitant, but I'll post it up anyway.

if (BEEPER>-1)
{
   // old BEEPER code
}

So that it's ignored if there isn't a valid beeper pin. Is that what the new Marlin code does?

Anyway, have you thought of uploading your version of the Marlin code to github? Open projects are free. I'm not yet interested in upgrading to 1284p for the sdcard stuff but I'd like to try the latest Marlin code.

All it is is a superficial mentioning of the chip name to avoid throwing errors.

Apart from that , you simply change the setting in Arduino to 1284P and click compile.

The sanguinololu files are still needed from 

https://github.com/jmgiacalone/sanguino1284p

to make the 1284P option appear in Arduino.
