This text appears to be a user manual for the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D printer, specifically dealing with the installation and usage of the custom TFT firmware. Here's a summary of the key points: **Flashing Marlin Firmware** To flash Marlin firmware on the printer: 1. Disconnect the TFT from the serial bus by pressing the "Menu->Settings->Connection->Disconnect" button. 2. Connect a USB cable from the PC to the mainboard's USB port and use an application (like Pronterface) to flash Marlin firmware. 3. Follow the instructions provided by the application. **Octoprint/Pronterface Usage** When printing with Octoprint or Pronterface, disconnect the TFT communication with Marlin using the "Menu=>Settings=>Connection=>Disconnect" button to avoid conflicts between the two systems. **TFT Firmware Installation Procedure** To install custom TFT firmware: 1. Download and unzip the archive. 2. Copy the contents (MKSTFT28.bin, config.ini, and MKS directory) to the SD card's root directory. 3. Plug in the SD card into the printer. 4. Turn on the printer and wait for the firmware to finish flashing. 5. Touch the calibration points on the screen. 6. Restart the printer. **TFT Firmware Configuration Update** To update the TFT firmware configuration: 1. Edit the settings in config.ini (see comments for proper setting). 2. Copy the config.ini file to the SD card's root directory (formatted as FAT32, less than or equal to 8GB capacity). 3. Insert the SD card into the TFT's SD card slot and restart the printer. 4. The TFT will load the configuration from SPI flash. **TFT Firmware Rollback Procedure** To rollback to a previous firmware: 1. Download the stock Artillery TFT firmware (or any custom firmware previously installed). 2. Unzip the archive and copy the contents to the SD card's root directory. 3. Plug in the SD card into the printer. 4. Turn on the printer and wait for the firmware to finish flashing. 5. Restart the printer. **Useful Links** The user manual provides links to resources for printer calibration and tuning, including guides for calibration, firmware, and auto-bed leveling with stock sensors.
