Note: Custom firmware is optimized for V3.28 Isolated hardware. To build it yourself, edit config.h.
All outputs active-high. Active-low inputs: X/Y/Z limits, probe, abort, resume, hold. Short signal to GND with a jumper to test.
CH340 Driver: If serial port not listed, install CH340/CH341 driver first.

Get Started
