Well I've printed a few PLA prints with great success but now I want to move on to more challenging materials like ABS, Nylon, and eventually speciality materials.
I've modified the Y carriage to carry the extra weight of the heated bed and glass print surface, I've purchased a PCB heatbed, 100k heatbed thermistor, and a solidstate relay so the heatbed can be powered by a separate atx power supply.
I've come to the point now where I need to modify Marlin to make use of the bed and control the heated bed temperature through Pronterface and eventually Octoprint.
I would like to power the bed through the D9 power output that is currently not being used as i only have a single extruder. I don't know how to assign D9 to the heated bed in the firmware. I also don't know how to assign the heated bed thermistor to the T2 position on the ramps board.
I know things need to be modified in pins.h and configuration.h but I don't know what specifically to set. I was hoping someone else here who has already added a heated bed to their printer could lend me some advice or perhaps be willing to share their firmware with me.
Thanks for reading my wall of text.
