I just replaced my skr pro 1.2 (which died probably due to moving gantry by hand) with a £22 Skr Turbo 1.4.
There is a rebuild firmware for it on V1E GitHub. I had to make some edits in platform IO, ChatGPT nursed me through my it.
Now that it’s setup it’s working just like my SKR Pro. Motor pinout is the same as SKR pro.
Some changes I made to the firmware I remember:
HOST ACTION COMMANDS were disabled (useful for octoprint)
SD card controller changed to OnBoard (from LCD)

Ah - excellent - can I ask where you bought the skr turbo 1.4 for that price?
Kudos to you for getting a rebuild done including using a GPT with sufficient restraint to stay on track.
Do you have a build thread here? Would love to see pictures of your newly rebuilt setup.
Also, as others have asked… Where’d you find the SKR Turbo 1.4 for £22 ?
@MakerJim I’ve not kept my build thread up to date sadly.
I rebuilt my burly into a Primo about 1 month ago. But I’ve now realised Lowrider is a much newer platform and I’m planning moving to that soon. The cable management on my primo is a nightmare.
my primo, roughly 300x500mm.
I got my SKR turbo on aliexpress. if you make good use of the coupons you can get some stinking deals. It’s now the 11 11 sale so SKR is even cheaper.
