Octopus Pro F429 - will it work?

[nameisCruzCruz]

Hi guys! very new to the grblHAL world, and all the CNC world for that matter. Building a Mill machine currently and I would like to use an octopus board I have laying around, the octopus pro F429, although I don't know where to start, the page says F4XX but then mentions "A grblHAL driver for the STM32F401xC, STM32F407xx, STM32F411xE and STM32F446xx ARM processors." so I'm confused...

It seems so, @yoft has it running. See this discussion.

Do you know if the firmware.bin file is available somewhere? I'm very lost and wanted to give a shot at grblHAL

https://github.com/yoft/STM32F4xx/tree/new-octo This seems to be his repository but I don't see the .pio folder, am I missing something?

Hi @nameisCruzCruz,
I haven't updated the repo on gihub, however I have the F446 variant, which will be quite different.

I can attempt an F429 build using the same process I went through with the F446. I might have some time late next week to have a crack at it for you.

That would be amazing if you have some spare time, can I have your email? So we can talk further?

Did you manage to do it?

I'd prefer to keep discussion here for everyone to see.

I haven't had time yet, however I have found most of the settings required.
When I get a chance I'll send through a firmware.bin and you can give it a test?
Some of the clock settings are missing which are required for usb connection, I think I can work out what they are, but do you have a usb-uart adapter for the first build? Then we can work on usb after that.

that would be amazing, I'll be waiting and let you know if it works once you have the file. Thank you for your time

I have BTT octopus pro 429 board. Please help in compiling grblhal for this board.

Have a look here for progress.
Thanks,
