<p>A more recent version of Marlin Firmware (<em>version 1.1.9 is the last release of this branch, new developments are done in the 2.x branch</em>) nowadays has a separate board constant for the MKS BASE v1.5 board (<code>BOARD_MKS_BASE_15</code>) as can be found in <a href="https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/1.1.x/Marlin/boards.h" rel="nofollow noreferrer">boards.h</a>.</p>

<p>The following line quotes the constant for this board from the file:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><code>#define BOARD_MKS_BASE_15       405   // MKS v1.5 with Allegro A4982 stepper drivers</code></p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-29)

I'm struggling with my new printer, and I just want to make sure that I have the basic configured correctly.

What motherboard ID in [`configuration.h`](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/1.1.x/Marlin/Configuration.h) is appropriate for MKS BASE V1.5 in Marlin Firmware?

Marlin appears to support older versions of the board (and possibly this one) according to this line

```
#define BOARD_MKS_13            47   // MKS v1.3 or 1.4 (maybe higher)

```

in `boards.h` which can be found [here](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/RC/Marlin/boards.h).

The company also has a [guide](https://web.archive.org/web/20180223090126/http://osoyoo.com/2016/06/30/mks-1-4-3d-printer-board-marlin-firmware-installation-guide/) and looks to provide pre-configured (but not fully configured?) downloads of Marlin. They have different links for different displays but then ask you to change lines manually but don't mention changing the board so I have no idea what they are doing or what is different between the downloads.
