At first i just updated the motherboard with marlin with the newest (2.0.7) and it seemed to work, but when i started printing, i didn't get the result i wanted. After a bit i tried updating both the screen and the motherboard with the firmware that bigtreetech provides, and it worked pretty good. Heres to link to their github: https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIQU-B1 At first i wanted to try UBL (unified bed levling) which combines a lot of nifty features, but i'm not experienced enough so i didn't get it to work right. Now i use bilinear, which i think is the default when you update the firmware. Its important that you spend some time tuning the z-offset, I think that is something that makes or breaks the quality of the print.
Yeah, I had the same thought when i started, that the firmware part of 3d printing was something i could learn later. I think that just updating with the firmware from the github should do it. I also rembemer that I used this github for the marlin software https://github.com/looxonline/Marlin/tree/BIQUB1_ABL_HIGH_RES It has setup everything for using the bltouch (bilinear), and you can use the screen to set the offset after installing it.
