Configurator
The Configurator module allows you to manipulate configuration using console commands.
This provides a powerful interface for adjusting Smoothie’s settings without editing the config file directly.

V1 Overview
In Smoothieware V1, the Configurator provides three console commands that work with a custom configuration format based on checksums and key-value pairs. The configuration is loaded from the SD card /sd/config file.
The three main commands are:
- config-get: Query configuration values from cache or specific sources (ROM, SD, EEPROM)
- config-set: Write configuration values to a source (typically SD card)
- config-load: Debug and manage the configuration cache (load, unload, dump, checksum)
Settings use a flat key-value structure. For example: alpha_steps_per_mm, temperature_control.hotend.thermistor_pin
V2 Overview
In Smoothieware V2, the Configurator has been completely redesigned to work with a standard INI-based configuration system. The configuration is stored in /sd/config.ini and uses hierarchical sections.
The two available commands are:
- config-get: Retrieve all key-value pairs from a specific section
- config-set: Set or delete a key in a section
Settings are organized hierarchically in INI sections. For example: [alpha] section with steps_per_mm key.
