lets upgrade the Electronics Control board of the Tronxy X5S 3D printer and while were at it, lets up the Heat Bed to 24V to get better temperatures for ABS etc.

The current Melzi like control board has many issues like no expansion capability, limited FLASH, non upgrade-able stepper drivers to mention a few.

Marlin 1.1.8 was used as per the Tronxy X5S Melzi configuration but modified for the Ramps EFB board type and enabling all the features I wanted to include now I have more FLASH and RAM they will fit.

This also now opens the way to add BLTouch, Trinamics 2830 SPI Drivers and more

You can find my current Config File here https://github.com/thebreadboard/MARLIN

Ramps Board (24V upgrade-able) https://goo.gl/RRvL63

24V 15A PSU https://goo.gl/vn1Daq (Remember you will need to turn down the volts as far as it will go so you dont overload this)

Features include
LCD Manual Mesh Bed Level
Nozzle Parking
Filament Load and Unload
Auto PID Tune
Heating runaway protection for Hotend and Bed
etc. Search for "//RPO" in the config files for everything I changed or checked from Default settings.
