Adding a BLTouch to a Creality CR-10S running Marlin 2 Firmware Jason Antman’s Blog

This is dependent on which programmer is flashed into the bootloader. If Creality have released the source code for your printer then the answer should be there.

Some Creality boards require the .bin file to have a name different from the previously installed one. With some exceptions, boards with an onboard SD card require the firmware.bin file to be copied onto the onboard SD card, and then you must reboot the printer to complete the install. PlatformIO will try to copy the file automatically if the board is connected and your PC can see the SD card, but this may not always work. After years of overlooking such an important feature, manufacturers like BTT and Creality have finally started including a bootloader on their 32 bit boards. This is a small program stored in memory which makes it possible to write new firmware.

That link will take you to the code, but if you want to play with a live instance, the author has one loaded with example data. SREC records are separated by one or more ASCII line termination characters so that each record appears alone on a text line.

• It will cause error during programming, hence not recommended to edit the .HEX file.
• The process of installing Marlin to your 3D printer is quite similar to the subtitle above.
• If you are certain that you only want to use ArduPilot on the board, then flashing the ardupilot bootloader enables much simpler subsequent upgrades.

In general, you can plot any variable that you are able to read like normal in odrivetool. Some people have had issues using the python dfu tool, so below is a guide on how to manually use different tools.

• We have to insert the card into the screen slot instead of the printer card slot.
• If the maker movement was an industry, Grbl would be the industry standard.
• PROM programmers would then read the S-record format and “burn” the data into the PROMs or EPROMs used in the embedded system.
• When you have the correct file simply click on the “Recovery” option at which point you will be prompted to choose the file you would like to use to update the controller.

Make sure that your SD card is not larger than 32 gigabytes, because the mainboard otherwise might not support reading it. In the new subfolder starting with “Ender-3 v2” you will find two subfolders for firmware. One is for updating the screen and one for the mainboard. On the Ender 3 v2, this can be done in the printer menu, navigating to the Info screen, where you will find stock ROM (firmware) the current firmware version number.
