Requirements

  • For now an:
    • Artillery SidewinderX1/2 with Bed level sensor
    • Artillery Genius(Pro) with Bed level sensor
  • SD-Card
    • Fat32 formatted
    • The SD-Card should work if you can see the content from the SD-Card in your 3d Printer, so the best option is to go to (TODO) Print -> switch from USB to SD if needed -> open the SD-Card -> you should see files
      • if not then you need to reformat the SD-Card or try a new one!
  • Computer

Prepare

  • Download the correct files from Downloads
    • For that use the filters above the table
    • If you don't know which Display(TFT) you have, download also the DisplayCombo.zip
  • After you downloaded the files unpack them
  • To flash Marlin later on, you need this software STM32CubeProgrammer

TFT

If you know which TFT variant you have choose the correct Folder that contains:

  • Older TFT
    • Folder:TFT28
    • config.ini
    • mkstft28.bin
  • If you have the newest TFT
    • Folder:mks_font
    • Folder:mks_pic
    • Folder:TFT28
    • config.ini
    • mks_config.txt
    • mkstft28.bin
    • mkstft28evo.bin
  • Then copy these files and folders to a SD-Card that is Fat32 formatted
  • Put the SD-Card in your 3d-printer
  • If the printer is online
    • press the reset button next to the Display
  • If the printer is offline
    • power on the printer
  • You should see "Updating..." in the Display
    • If your display finishes updating you are finished with the display (TODO)

If you don't know which TFT variant you have:

  • Download the DisplayCombo.zip and the variant (ex. Sidewinder or GeniusPro)
  • Unzip both zips
  • In Display Combo you should see 3 folders starting with a corresponding number
  • Start with the first one and put the contents:
    • Folder:TFT28
    • config.ini
    • mkstft28.bin
  • One Variant can contain these files:
    • Folder:mks_font
    • Folder:mks_pic
    • Folder:TFT28
    • config.ini
    • mks_config.txt
    • mkstft28.bin
    • mkstft28evo.bin
  • on a SD-Card which is Formatted with Fat32
  • If the display updates and you can see "Updating..." in the Display
    • Then you know which TFT variant you have and you should note it down or remember it!!!
  • If the display boots straight to the Display menu you need to try the same process with another folder
  • If you tested all 4 variants and it still din't work reach out here to get help New Issue
