Downloaded Marlin 2.1.2 configured for Hictop My 3DP12's Compiled using Visual Studio Code _ PlatformIO > Marlin AutoBuild
Now if I can find some more time will upload this firmware and test on one of four my 3D Printers.

Configuring Win Merge is much easier than most people think.
I use Win Merge to duplicate an copy lines of code from an older version firmware to the newer versions, and do help with the bug-fix versions to help get the bugs out. You need have a configured version of an older version of your favorite firmware in order to compare the lines of code data to upgrade configuration to the newer.
I kept up to date with the newest versions of Marlin firmware, this means I have a previous version of Marlin that are close to the configuration of the newer version of Marlin. Updating from Marlin 1 to Marlin 2 was the most completed as the variable names had changed and this required me to asking for help on the 3D Printer forums to accomplish. This is why I am here to help, as without the help of the forums users I would have purchased an expensive piece of worthless junk again Thank You to all who helped me.
Like Microsoft windows, I like to keep my firmware update, may be an overkill for 3D Printer firmware though started with a version of Marlin that would barely allow a 3D Print.
Not putting the My 3D Printers original firmware down though it took all my time just to print a few models that printed well enough to actually use it in a real world situation... Most of my 3D Prints looked like abstract sculptures, and this is not in the good way of being worth millions, hey maybe I should have kept them anyway.

That looks like a pretty handy tool. Might be worth starting a thread describing what the tool is and linking the download page.

I have been using Win Merge now for a few years, believe me it would have made 3D Printer programming life much easier if I new in the beginning.
I always try to link the download page when posting a useful program or video.
