FAN_SOFT_PWN error when compiling

[Ukrevealed]

I have downloaded the most up-to-date firmware and moved the e3v2 no probe config.h and config adv.h to the main marlin folder.

the only part I have edited in the config.h file is the hotend temp from 275 to 315 as I have installed an all-metal hotend. but when I compile I get at the beginning in yellow

Any help would be great.

dont use Maple as env

[Ukrevealed]

sorry, what do you mean? I am pretty new to the coding side.

[darco415]

Umm your not coding your just cut ,pasting,and editing...anyways change the environment from what you have to:
default_envs = STM32F103RE_creality
this is assuming you have the same chip as I do on a 4.2.7 board

[Ergonomicmike]

You didn't say it, but I'll assume that you're compiling firmware for an Ender 3 v2.

The newest code for the Ender 3 v2 has customized Configuration files for the Ender.

https://github.com/LCh-77/Marlin/tree/BLTUBL-LA

I suggest using those newer Configuration.h from it.

In any event, as one hacker to another, the Errors that you saw told you what needed to be changed.

So your Configuration.h should have a line like this:

#define FAN_SOFT_PWM // Ender Configs

In previous, generic configuration files, you need to uncomment that line, by removing the // before it.
