Why do I get this error everytime I try to build the new marlin firmware

ColePete · December 8, 2020, 9:19pm

Sure, I downloaded from here: Download | Marlin Firmware and scroll down to the “nightly builds” and it is the bugfix-2.0.x.zip file. Just click where I have circled and it will download exactly what I downloaded.

Personally for a self build, I’d start with the latest stable before I started looking at nightlies

ColePete · December 8, 2020, 11:25pm

@cdabone
so use the one at the top?

cdabone · December 8, 2020, 11:31pm

@ColePete - yes, take the “Latest release: 2.0.7.2”

If you’re going to play around with nightlies, take a look to see if they have a build log - there’s a good chance that they will report if there’s any build issues that need looking into.

I have never had a great experience running most OSS builds on Windows, so it’s probably worth investing a little time in setting up a Ubuntu VM - but setting up development environments is a whole topic in itself

So I re-dowloaded the most recent version off of marlin. And, I editied it to be the way that I wanted. But, when I clicked the checkmark telling it to build, it started building only to end with these errors:

Looks like something broken in the avanced configuration header file. Can you post 5 or 6 lines before and after this line:

#define PROBING_MARGIN xxxxxx

From Configuration_adv.h please. I think you might have edited it incorrectly.

As @ColePete advises, as do Marlin, best to stick with the stable stuff. Marlin advise that the nightlies should build, but may not.

Cheers,
Norm.

Thanks, but wrong bit.

Those are PROBING_MARGIN_XXXX and are defined as PROBING_MARGIN with a number. I needed just PROBING_MARGIN as that seems to be where the error is originating.

Cheers,
Norm.

ColePete · December 10, 2020, 4:00am

I am confused about what you need. That was the only stuff about PROBING_MARGIN. Could you specify more?

normandunbar · December 10, 2020, 12:25pm

Interesting! I downloaded the stable and bugfix versions of Marlin 2.x and the above file does not exist in either. The folder HAL_STM32F1 is actually named STM32F1 - so, I wonder if this is part of the problem?

I found PROBING_MARGIN in the configuration.h file at/around line 993:

// Most probes should stay away from the edges of the bed, but
// with NOZZLE_AS_PROBE this can be negative for a wider probing area.
#define PROBING_MARGIN 10

What does yours look like after you changed your configuration please?

Cheers,
Norm.

ColePete · December 10, 2020, 9:14pm

my bad, I thought that it was in confuguration.avd.h here you go:

//#define SENSORLESS_PROBING

//
// For Z_PROBE_ALLEN_KEY see the Delta example configurations.
//

/**
 * Nozzle-to-Probe offsets { X, Y, Z }
 *
 * - Use a caliper or ruler to measure the distance from the tip of
 *   the Nozzle to the center-point of the Probe in the X and Y axes.
 * - For the Z offset use your best known value and adjust at runtime.
 * - Probe Offsets can be tuned at runtime with 'M851', LCD menus, babystepping, etc.
 *
 * Assuming the typical work area orientation:
 *  - Probe to RIGHT of the Nozzle has a Positive X offset
 *  - Probe to LEFT  of the Nozzle has a Negative X offset
 *  - Probe in BACK  of the Nozzle has a Positive Y offset
 *  - Probe in FRONT of the Nozzle has a Negative Y offset
 *
 * Some examples:
 *   #define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 10, 10, -1 }   // Example "1"
 *   #define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET {-10,  5, -1 }   // Example "2"
 *   #define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET {  5, -5, -1 }   // Example "3"
 *   #define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET {-15,-10, -1 }   // Example "4"
 *
 *     +-- BACK ---+

 */
#define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 0, 0, 0 }

// Most probes should stay away from the edges of the bed, but
// with NOZZLE_AS_PROBE this can be negative for a wider probing area.
#define PROBING_MARGIN 10

// X and Y axis travel speed (mm/min) between probes

hope this helps

normandunbar · December 11, 2020, 2:41pm

Aha! This is good. It tells me that any time we see “PROBING_MARGIN” in the code, it will be replaced by 10.

However, your errors

means that we have this, effectively:

#define PROBING_MARGIN_BACK 10 20

Which is not good C/C++ code at all.

Looking at the advanced configuration, we have the lines you posted earlier:

#if PROBE_SELECTED && !IS_KINEMATIC
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_LEFT PROBING_MARGIN 46
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_RIGHT PROBING_MARGIN 46 
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_FRONT PROBING_MARGIN 20
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_BACK PROBING_MARGIN 20
#endif

This doesn’t read well to me, especially if PROBING_MARGIN is already defined as 10. This is where the errors are coming from I think. I downloaded the Marlin 2.0.x software and found your configuration files, I then grepped for “PROBING_MARGIN” and got these results:

Configuration_adv.h: * Override PROBING_MARGIN for each side of the build plate
Configuration_adv.h:  //#define PROBING_MARGIN_LEFT PROBING_MARGIN
Configuration_adv.h:  //#define PROBING_MARGIN_RIGHT PROBING_MARGIN
Configuration_adv.h:  //#define PROBING_MARGIN_FRONT PROBING_MARGIN
Configuration_adv.h:  //#define PROBING_MARGIN_BACK PROBING_MARGIN
Configuration.h:#define PROBING_MARGIN 10

And the penny dropped.

You, I think, have changed the config to set specific margins for the Bltouch thingy 46,46,20,20 but you left in the previous settings of 10,10,10,10.

Change your config to this:

#if PROBE_SELECTED && !IS_KINEMATIC
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_LEFT  46
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_RIGHT  46 
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_FRONT  20
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_BACK  20
#endif

Remove the “PROBING_MARGIN” words before each of your required dimensions.

HTH

Cheers,
Norm.

@normandunbar
wait what. can you just paste the correct code and where I should put it here plz. I don’t understand all this coding stuff.

normandunbar · December 11, 2020, 6:53pm

Ok, see my post above, that shows the corrected 4 lines for your different probing places. These are based on what you posted a couple of replies back.

These 4 lines should fix the errors you reported. Edit your advanced config file, delete the lines there and paste these in:

  #define PROBING_MARGIN_LEFT  46
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_RIGHT  46 
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_FRONT  20
  #define PROBING_MARGIN_BACK  20

Cheers,
Norm.

normandunbar · December 11, 2020, 10:40pm

Oh dear!

Ok, I did say that I don’t have a 3d printer, nor have I ever configured and installed Marlin.

I had a look in the Marlin bugfix release and all those *.cpp.d files in your errors are definitely not there.

I found this link https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3/comments/iybv7j/ender_3_pro_skr_bigtree_marlin/ which is the same thing. The fix there was a kink to Teaching Tech on YouTube. Editing Marlin config for beginners.

Apparently, that fixed the person having the same errors as you. Check out Beginner guide to editing Marlin firmware - step by step - UPDATE IN DESCRIPTION - YouTube and see if that helps.

Failing that, in VSCode, run a clean build by clicking the dustbin/trash can button at the bottom. Then zip up all of your Marlin source code, exactly as it stands, and put it somewhere online where I can download it.

I’ll see if I can follow the above video and get it to compile.

Cheers,
Norm.

normandunbar · December 13, 2020, 12:10pm

Good Morning @ColePete,

I watched the linked video - turns out I’d actually seen it before, c’est la vie (as they say in Wales!)

Here’s what I did:

Downloaded and extracted the Marlin 2.0.x file, and extracted it to Marlin-2.0.x.
Downloaded and extracted the Marlin Configurations to Configurations
Copied all 4 files from /home/norman/Downloads/Marlin/Configurations/config/examples/Creality/Ender-3/BigTreeTech SKR Mini E3 1.2 into Marlin-2.0.x/Marlin – overwriting the existing configuration files.
Open the folder Marlin-2.0.x in VSCode.
Open the platformio.ini file.

Edited this section:

[platformio]
src_dir      = Marlin
boards_dir   = buildroot/share/PlatformIO/boards
default_envs = mega2560
include_dir  = Marlin

changing the default_envs to this:

default_envs = STM32F103RC_btt_512K_USB

Saved the file.
Ticked the dustbin/trash can button on the bottom toolbar to clean anything that might have been there previously.
Ticked the check/tick to run a build.
Waited…
Waited some more…

Got this:

Advanced Memory Usage is available via "PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect"
RAM:   [====      ]  35.4% (used 17400 bytes from 49152 bytes)
Flash: [====      ]  44.1% (used 231348 bytes from 524288 bytes)
=====================[SUCCESS] Took 100.91 seconds =============

So, that’s a default build with your configuration, I think. I have not configured anything, other then the board in use.

Can you now do the above, to a separate folder to where your current setup doesn’t compile, and let me know how you get on please?

This is the first time I’ve compiled Marlin by the way.

Cheers,
Norm.

ColePete · December 14, 2020, 3:14am

Okay so, I changed the default_envs to = STM32F103RC_btt_512K_USB and I got this error:

EDIT: WOW! I missed the most important part of your instructions “Ticked the dustbin/trash can button on the bottom toolbar to clean anything that might have been there previously.” So I went back and did it, and here is what I got.

RAM:   [====      ]  35.9% (used 17624 bytes from 49152 bytes)
Flash: [=====     ]  48.8% (used 255684 bytes from 524288 bytes)

Now all that is left, is trying it out. I will let you guys know if something is messed up and I need your AMAZING help.

Thanks so much for all the help. I am truly grateful that there are people like you guys in the world, who give without seeking reward. THANK YOU!!!

My invoice will be in the post!

Glad that we got it to compile, finally. Good luck with the results.

Cheers,
Norm.
