-In order to perform a test and calibration procedure, it is necessary to send custom commands (Like "M503") directly to the printer. For this you would normally use a serial terminal application. There are some issues however with such applications as described in footnote ((As of February 2020, none of the most common applications, like gtkterm, minicom, coolterm or even screen seem to work with a non-standard bautrate of 250000. Also, setting the baudrate to 250000 does not seem to work with stty. Sending with echo directly to ttyUSB0, and using "tail -F /dev/ttyUSBx" to see the result, after setting the baudrate with python (see below), works not as expected either: Commands need to be issued twice in order to get a full reply from the printer.)).+In order to perform a test and calibration procedure, it is necessary to send custom commands ([[https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M503.html | Like "M503"]]) directly to the printer.

 The easiest solution to send a command is the open source application Pronterface ((https://github.com/kliment/Printrun)) which runs on multiple platforms. Before sending a command, make sure to configure a baudrate of 250000bps and press connect. The easiest solution to send a command is the open source application Pronterface ((https://github.com/kliment/Printrun)) which runs on multiple platforms.
