I wish to personalize your source code adding the second extruder but I have only one hotend. I have a mega-x and I want to use the bltouch in future with your customized menu. how can I customize the source code?

Please take a look at the wiki. There you will find instructions on how to modify and compile the source code yourself.

Thank you to answered me. I’ve already read the wiki page and compile marlin but I’ve problem with z homing. When I start homing with g28 the printer don’t moving and in console appear echo:busy ecc. In order to move the axis it’s necessary restart the printer. I don’t understand why.
In last message I do a mistake. My printer is a mega s

Z axis homing is broken on current master branch, see #523 (German) or upstream issue MarlinFirmware/Marlin#27014
Try starting from the 1.5.3 for a codebase which is known to be working.

Ok, I'll try tomorrow. I have another question about the second extruder. I connected it to the motherboard using the e1 connector (originally anycubic connected the second z stepper on the e1 connector of the motherboard). which pin should I set in the source code?

hi, i tried the 1.5.3 release and the z axis move in the right direction but now the endstop doesn't work. Only x axis endstop works, the y and z axis move in the right direction but when the endstops are triggered the stepper continues to move and I'm forced to shut-down or reset the printer.
