If you haven’t already, download the latest version of Arduino IDE from: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software

-
-
Scroll down until you find the Thermal settings section
-
You should see a line that reads #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 1
-
Change the last number of that line to 5 instead of 1. It should read "#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 5"
-
-
-
Scroll down a bit further and you will find the minimum and maximum temperate settings
-
You should find a line that read "#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 275"
-
Change the last 3 digits to 300 - "#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 300"
-
-
-
Scroll down until you find the line that reads "#define THERMAL_PROTECTION_HOTENDS"
-
If that line, and the one underneath it have "//" in the begining of the string, remove them to enable Thermal Runaway protection
-
-
-
Scroll down to the line that reads "#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 80.121, 80.121, 399.778, 445 }"
-
Change the last 3 digits to 409 in order to set the correct steps for the Hermes extruder
-
The line should now read: "#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 80.121, 80.121, 399.778, 409 }"
-
-
-
Locate the line that reads "#define INVERT_E0_DIR false"
-
Change the word "false" to "true" using only lowercase letters
-
The line should now read "#define INVERT_E0_DIR true"
-
-
-
In order to make sure the temperature reading is as stable as possible it is important to PID tune the setup.
-
The easiest way to do this is to use Repetier Host.

Great job Joe!
I cant upload arduino code and the PID autotune keeps halting because it wont heat up but when I control my printer from the actual LCD i can heat it up just fine
The LCD needs to be unplugged from the printer then you can upload. It’s a pain but it works. It frees up the Com port on the printer
