Example EEProm settings from a Lulzbot TAZ 6 running Marlin 1.0.2

MatterControl supports interacting with EEPROM as allowed by the firmware-- Marlin and Repetier only.

EEPROM stands for 'Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory' and can also be written, 'EEPROM'. EEPROM is memory on the printer's circuit board which stores a series of values for certain settings. These values usually relate to the specific printer's geometric, physical, and operative functions and statistics.

Firmware Support

MatterControl supports EEProm for only Marlin and Repetier firmwares.

Example

For an example of how to use the EEProm window to adjust the printer's steps per mm, check out this page: Setting Steps per mm

Interface

Save to EEProm

Saves any applicable changes made using the interface to the EEPROM on the printer.

Import...

Import .ini files containing EEPROM configuration. Click this button to open the OS file chooser.

Export...

Export .ini files containing EEPROM configuration. Click this button to open the OS file saver.
