Drunken Octopus vs Marlin Upstream

How does Drunken Octopus differ from Marlin 2.0 upstream?

Drunken Octopus will be where I first implement new features before sending them upstream for incorporation. The source code should differ as little as possible from upstream as I've tried to push changes upstream. There are, however, a few modification which would not make sense upstream that are present in Drunken Octopus:

  • For the Yellowfin, there is code to swap extruders 1 and 2

What makes Drunken Octopus really special is that it includes scripts for auto-generating configuration files for several printers, tool heads and electronics. Upstream configuration files change often and merging these changes into hundreds of configuration files by hand would have been impossible. With Drunken Octopus, I continue to maintain the tools that make this possible.
