How to upgrade the Tevo Black Widow firmware from the stock 1.1.0 RC6 to the current 1.1.8 Marlin

While were at it we will turn on any missing safety features for Thermal Runaway etc. We will also enable Manual Mesh Bed Leveling through the LCD Display and show how to auto tune the PID parameters for the hot end.

The latest version of Marlin can be found here :- github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin
the Arduino IDE here :- arduino.cc

All 3 of my printers came from GearBest for review, some of the upgrade parts I bought myself, either way I will provide links to all parts used including the printers themselves.

My Configuration Files are here github.com/thebreadboard/MARLIN

My Excel info as shown will be made available through my GitHub very soon, I have a few more tweaks to make first.
