considering update from 2.x to 3.x
-
I'm considering update from 2.0.5 to 3.4.1 to make use of the new PID tuning.
I have not yet fully dove into the new configs other than to note that I will have to somehow identify all of the pin numbers for the heaters, BL Touch, and thermistors, and possibly more.
Questions:
- What's the best way to ID pins? Is it trace wires & Look at the board with magnifying glass, or is there some digital method?
- I've read that I should use the config tool to get a clean config before I start. However I built my config file from scratch over the last 2 years. Is there a way to convert my config.g to a json file so that I can import it into the config generator tool? Is there a converter to go from 2.x config file to 3.x?
thanks!

You won't be able to get your current config into the config tool, but you can create a basic config pretty easily there that will give you an idea of what the syntax and layout is like.

@co3get you might have already found it, but I found this page very useful when making the jump
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Migration_RRF2_to_RRF3I was in a similar position to you and so just manually went through my config file and did the edits, following the steps in the guide. Took about an hour and I was back up and running again, but also meant I understood my config a lot better.
The page also has links for the pin names for the different boards

Which is one of the reason I do not recommended becoming dependent on the configuration tool.
