Can someone please help me out? I’m trying to flash my software for BLtouch on my ender 3 but I can’t get past this. I’ve been absolutely stomped for about two weeks.

That's [how I did it](https://github.com/xan105/Ender-3-Pro/tree/master/Melzi#flash-with-the-isp-from-the-creality-bltouch-kit) back in the days before switching to a SKR mini.

Personally I use that firmware: https://github.com/DodgeDeBoulet/Marlin-Deprecated there’s bin and DW soft for LCD.
First calibration print. I’m seeing some banding about 1/3 of the way up. Is this z bind? This is my first H-Bot print, so I’m not positive.

A branch of marlin exists for an ender 5plus with dual z setup with separate drivers, if you're confident compiling and updating the firmware on the board, it's definitely the way I'd go. Think this is the right one: https://github.com/DodgeDeBoulet/Marlin-Deprecated

I think this will get you where you need to go. You’ll have to flash both the board and the screen. It’s a little trouble to save you a lot of headache in the long run.
Upgraded to SKR Mini e3 v2. Haven't gotten to change off boot screen
1 project | /r/ender5plus | 25 Aug 2021

yes, the base display that shipped with it just changed to this guy's software to test out, https://github.com/DodgeDeBoulet/Marlin-Deprecated. E5P_BIL_256K_SKRMINIE3_20 is firmware picked.
Can stock Ender 5 plus screen be used with SKR Mini E3 V2?
1 project | /r/ender5 | 12 Aug 2021

For ender 5 PLUS can you use stock screen with SKR mini E3 V2 board? The closest I got was this GitHub..https://github.com/DodgeDeBoulet/Marlin-Deprecated

All of the code is up on my GitHub repo at https://github.com/DodgeDeBoulet/Marlin. I think you'll be better off playing with the bugfix-2.0.x branch, though, since it fixes some problems with bed coverage. You'll need VS Code and its PlatformIO extension to get very far with compiling your own firmware.

Alternative firmware?
1 project | /r/ender5plus | 22 Dec 2020

Both the Insanity Automation Marlin fork and my own support the silent board with Marlin 2.0, and include updated screen firmware to add some useful features to the touchscreen. One of those is the ability to adjust Z-offset from the display, along with e-Steps, PID tuning and other little tweaks.
