I have an older ME Creator (not the version 2)
I want to replace the M8 threaded rod with an actual 8mm feed screw.
To do this I will have to adjust something for the pitch from what I believe is 1mm per rotation to the new 2mm per rotation.
Where would this be changed? I was assuming it would be in the software when I ordered the feed screw.
As I search around I am finding I may have to learn how to do the adjustment in the printer firmware itself?
I am not a programmer...
thanx in advance

Re: z-axis feed ajustment
additional information:
board is a Sanguinololu 1.3a I have found a firmware but am still lost.
Installed Arduino IDE 1.84 and tried to set it up but have no idea what board to set it for.
Found a wiki that said the Sanguinololu needs to use an older IDE so I downloaded the old 0022 release. Still no Sanguinololu in the board selection.
Ya I am lost.....
help please

Re: z-axis feed ajustment
Essentially I found that the Sanguinololu 1.3a board that was supplied with my ME Creator has a bootloader that does not support USB F/W updates.
To resolve this shortcoming I created an arduino ISP programmer and connected to the ISP header on the Sanguinololu directly.
I still had to use an older Arduino IDE as the newest one Ver 1.84 is not compatible with the old Sanguino chip.
Using 1.6 resolved this.
I now have Marlin 1.1.1 installed and configured for the changes I have made.
