“#define NEWPANEL //enable this if you have a click-encoder panel” (just remove the // at the beginning)

1. Switch over to "Pins.h" and change line 318 =

“#define RAMPS_V_1_3” (just remove the // at the beginning)

#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 1
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 1

• Set the thermistors maximum temperature:

#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 275
#define HEATER_1_MAXTEMP 275
#define HEATER_2_MAXTEMP 275
#define BED_MAXTEMP 120
