I want to use the board with (MKS TS35-R) Touch Screen for my home made penplotter to function autonomous without computer, but just with a memory card, like most 3d printers do too.
But can’t find that hex file… Could anybody direct me to the right place where I can find it?
You can find firmware upgrade instructions there too.
Make sure you have your machines config before you do this if it’s not too late.
If you didn’t save it, not a big deal to program it manually.
Better do not ask AI in such cases. Just search for your use case and you will get many tutorials on how to do so. Joe also mentioned everything that’s needed.
Where do you want to install the DLC32? Because choosing the correct firmware is dependent on the hardware setup you want to use.
Thanks Joe, for your quick reply.
I was very happy with that.
But it is an incredibly difficult web of information for this old man. I usually do not understand what I read in all the technical information and have not yet found a clear step-by-step plan for me to use for my DIY pen plotter.
For me it is incomprehensible that a product like this controller can be sold like this without it working, or a description of how to get it working.
But yes, I have to use the controller, because I ultimately need multiple plotters that work autonomously without a computer, but can print the file from an SD card. A facility that is on all 3D printers, but not yet on a ready-made pen plotter.
I thought I had found one, but that turned out to be an expensive mistake.
For now this appears to be my only option. But it is not simple for me. I am a better artist than a technician…
But I am apparently not the only one with problems with this controller and I see everywhere on the internet that people have problems with it.
I hope I will succeed and I can find a clear plan of action and get it working…
Thanks also for the links you provided
All the best
Thanks you too Melvin for your reply.
As in my reply to Joe, I need this controler for my pen plotter(s).
I will continue to look further to see if I find something I can use.
Yes, you also wrote it in your first post. I overlooked it
Making a pen plotter out of it won’t be that easy, because the only firmwares that are available and support the offline display are made for laser and CNC use. As such, there is no possibility to drive a servo for the pen. But maybe you have a different setup.
I prepaired a penlift with a small steppermotor, so that problem is solved.
But it’s hard to find all the files I need, there are so many from to choose.
I have now two plotters waiting for the new controller. One plotter with two Y steppermotors and one CoreXY plotter. I did noticed today that I need two different files for them. It’s a start, but I guess I need a lot of time to understand and collect everything I need to install the firmware and software.
I need all my patience to prevent I throw everything from the window…
