- Ender 3 V2, BL touch (5pin), Silent 4.2.7 MB with Smith 3d Firmware. When Auto leveling Z axis doesn't go down, But it does go down when I manually. Any Help is appreciated.

Ender 3 v2 + BLtouch + Smith3d E3V2-2.0.x.17 + Micro Swiss = ahhh (help?)!
For the past few days I have been working on how to adjust my bed center since the Micro Swiss has moved the position of the nozzle XY (& Z). Z is not an issue as this is adjusted in E3V2-2.0.x.17 via the HMI. On the Smith3D gethub they have the code posted via .bin file and I am using the "Smith3D-E3V2-2.0.x.17-Fast-5x5-180321.bin" which cannot be edited to adjust the parameters I need. Smith3d has posted one Source Code for all the E3V2-2.0.x.17... In total there are eight (8) different types (https://github.com/smith3d/Marlin/releases). I have been trying to mirror the Source Code to mimic the parameters I need from the "Smith3D-E3V2-2.0.x.17-Fast-5x5-180321.bin" with no luck, lots of things enabled/disabled.

Is This Process of Updating Firmware Insanely Complicated on Purpose?
You can find those .bin files on multiple locations: -https://github.com/Jyers/Marlin/releases -https://github.com/smith3d/Marlin/releases -https://forums.creality3dofficial.com/download/ender-series/ender-3-v2/

Z Offset with BL touch
Smith3D (https://github.com/smith3d/Marlin/releases/tag/2.0.x.17): Rock solid, no issues. Am currently running tests and bed levels as I am writing this. z-offset looks 'stable'
- Probe z offset changes significantly with each new print.
- Tired to install the BL touch software and after plugging in the micro SD card the screen won’t turn on

Adventure thus far
I was able to get the "old build" from this link to work for me https://github.com/smith3d/Marlin/releases/tag/2.0.x.16
- Can now use the entire build surface on a V2

Ender 3 v2 Linear advance possible?
Did a little research on one way; if you have `TMC_DEBUG` enabled in the Marlin firmware, you can check with `M122` commands. I use Smith3D firmware, so I've checked out the 2.0.x.17 git tag and enabled `TMC_DEBUG` along with `MONITOR_DRIVER_STATUS`. Currently compiling; will flash and see if it responds to M122.

First fosscad print. Other than some mild ringing/ghosting, it looks pretty good. 0.08mm layer height, 100% infill, eSUN PLA+ black. 24 hours and 22 minutes print time
Meatpack compresses the gcode commands sent to the printer over USB with the Octoprint plugin. The USB communication on most printers is limited to the baud rate, which is usually 125,200. I've running the latest Smith3D firmware, allowing me to use 250000: https://github.com/smith3d/Marlin/releases/tag/2.0.x.17

Looking through the Issues in the GitHub Project seems like there is currently a "flow" issue that is still open as you can see here
