re-extracted, changed only the baud to 115200, upload. same result.

Well one reason is you have to Enable a display Hictop uses "REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER" this includes a SD card reader.
You will also need SD support, Look thru the Marlin 1.1.6 configuration.h and the configuration_adv.h I posted for you.

#define SDSUPPORT
#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER

Thanks Clif, where are the configuration.h and configuration_adv.h files you posted?

I posted Marlin 1.1.6 Hictop ready.

You can look at every line on my Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h compare with yours
Or for you to look at mine verify they look correct / learn what was done compile and upload.

You would learn more going thru My version and transferring changes to yours then you will know every line changed.
There are only about 20 lines of changes. I have already setup for 270 X 220 bed leveling Linear/bilinear.

I normally open Both side by side look at them line by line and transfer with copy Paste or uncomment by deleting "//"

ok, got it. I've got about an hour left on a print then I'll work on this.

I get the impression you are printing using USB cable. Correct

Usually SD card, but there is a print running on the hictop right now so I have to wait it out.

When I make changes In my Marlin firmware I give it a name to signify changes made and Save As to this Name/Directory-Name.

(Example Marlin-BB) // Added Baby Stepping
(Example Marlin-Syadnom) // Setup for You

Then when I no longer need this file I can simply delete without getting confused as to what I am deleting.

How did it work Out?

sorry for the delayed response.

firmware flashed, screen is working. homing of all axis is backward though. steps are correct, ie x+1 moves gantry right, z+1 raises it.

I've set reverse endstops to true which resolved that. I'm trying to enable mesh bed leveling (manual) which is just doing the auto-home routine. I'll start a new thread for that.

OK,

Have never used mesh bed leveling. Use Linear and Bi-Linear bed leveling.
I Have been meaning to try the mesh bed leveling though. will follow along maybe learn something.

I've got it sorted. manual mesh leveling etc all running nicely (at least for this first test print). Will be ordering up a bltouch for this unit soon.

What are your settings

Which settings specifically?
