conversion from old to new firmware using repetier firmware configuration tool using diamond hotend.

in Repetier-Firmware
I bought a delta 3d printer kit  with double extruder. The printer came with the repetier firmware. it was working fine but had a twisted prints. instead of fixing that print that I decided to go for the diamond hot end using the stepper expander. I ordered the stepper expander X2 and want to build the firmware using the configurature tool. is there any already made firmware for that? 

So far I attached only two extruders and trying to use the configurature tool. I have two problems: 

1.   As soon as I switch on the heat using the repetier host, the error message is for the heater decoupling and switching all heaters off. 
2.   Z axis moves down very slowly for printer. 

Please help 
Thanks

    my first guess is that you now have a single heater and temp sensor for both extruders (since they are all one now)....this is probably different from how it was pre diamond head.  As a result the second extruder temp throws an uncoupled error if you tell it to head up.  

    I would build a clean firmware set and have it rewrite the eprom too...this is a choice in the configurator as I recall...by default (I  think) the old eprom is not overwritten and so certain parameter changes are not implemented by the printer, even though the new code is loaded.

    You need to activate mixing extruder for correct handling. In eeprom the weights for the 16 virtual extruders will be wrong having had a different setting. The new hotend might also need other timings for decoupling.
