## About this Wiki
|
||||||
This wiki describes official Release versions of Marlin, currently [Version 1.0.2-1](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases/tag/1.0.2-1) and the upcoming [Version 1.1.0](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases). Most of the documentation here is still under development. Please pitch in if you see any topic that needs improvement.
|
This wiki is now obsolete! For current Marlin documentation please visit the official [Marlin Website](http://marlinfw.org/). There you will find several essential guides:

### Overview
|
||||||
For information related to **cutting-edge development and testing on Version 1.2 and beyond**, head over to the [Marlin Development Wiki](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/MarlinDev/wiki). There you can find guidance on the new file layout, obtaining the hardware support package, and how to integrate Marlin with Arduino >= 1.6.7.

## Introduction ##
|
### Installation and Configuration
|
||||||
Marlin is a highly optimized firmware for 3D printers based on AVR-based microprocessors (such as those used on the [Arduino](http://arduino.cc) platform) with movement driven by stepper motors.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Through the use of a programmer tool, Marlin is flashed directly onto the PROM on your 3D printer's controller board, and will thereafter run standalone. Marlin controls the input/output, voltage states, and movement of the 3D printer, taking buffered command streams from SD cards and host controllers.
|
- [Downloading Marlin](http://marlinfw.org/meta/download/) - List of available downloads.
|
||||||
|
- [Installing Marlin](http://marlinfw.org/docs/basics/install.html) - A very basic installation overview.
|
||||||
|
- [Configuring Marlin](http://marlinfw.org/docs/configuration/configuration.html) - Configuration options in detail.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Marlin aims to be adaptable to as many boards and as many configurations as possible, with a very lean default profile. Depending on configuration options, the size of the Marlin binary image may be as low as 50K or over 200K.
|
### Contributing to Marlin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A huge number of features are included, such as:
