Is the Marlin firmware ignoring the geometry in machine.xml?

I am using ReplicatorG26 with RAMPS 1.4 using Marlin firmware. 1.0.0.0

It seems that the Marlin firmware is not looking at my machine.xml file for the geometry information. Marlin is however using the .xml file for everything else.

I would like for it to look at my machine.xml file for my stepspermm, so I cam make changes on the fly without having to do it from the firmware. I beleive it is only looking at the folowing:

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,3200/1.25,1380}

If I comment this out I get errors. I commented out the errors and got more errors.


Thanks

By what mechanism do you believe Marlin is reaching out through the serial port to the filesystem on your computer, and reading that machine.xml file?

macegr is correct, Marlin doesn't look at that file. It's for Replicatorg.
