  Having just slapped on a BL-touch i've recently swapped over to this until such time as i get round to embarking on Klipper https://github.com/jonathan-schmieg/genius-firmware.

• Genius stopped working after gcode
  1 project | /r/Artillery3D | 15 Oct 2021

  When I tried to calibrate linear advance with this firmware and teaching techs gcode generator tool, the printer did weird things (I don't remember what it did because it was a few weeks back, but the gcode did not do what it was supposed to do). After that, multiple things stopped working. I found the pcb connector of the extruder slightly burned so I ordered a new one, which I now installed, with a new flat cable, but the extruder still doesn't move, but the hotend does heat up. X and Z movements work, but when I move Y, the printer gives an error message. The usb port also doesn't seem to work, the sd port does work. I also can't connect the printer to the computer with the usb b port, so I can't reflash it. Just before I tried the gcode, I printed a normal test cube, everything worked fine. I'm quite frustraded and pessimistic, but is it fixable without swapping the mainboard? If not, which one can you recommend? Thanks in advance!
