Hey @Avatario do you have a forked repo/branch pushed to github that people can diff and figure out roughly what changes to make?

Good point. No, I haven’t so far. It’s definitely on my list of things to do if time allows, and it will also make the update process easier (should there be an update for the TFT one day).

Hey Christian,
You got a video clip of your firmware so we can check out your brilliant work in making it cnc orientated.
Would be a good idea maybe to work with Ryan and have your firmware as part of the install and maintained.
As for BTT updates, users aren’t forced to update to the latest, so users can stay on the current firmware you have compiled until a new version of yours is made?
Maybe also keep the complies version open source for others to alter?
Hi,
Please see the attached:
Release.zip (2.2 MB)
Extract the ZIP file and copy the whole content to the root of a clean sd card. You should then see there
1 The folder ‘TFT35’
2 The file ‘config.ini’ → Please replace this with your own config.ini should you have made changes to it
3 The new firmware ‘BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.28.x.bin’
I set the touch plate height to 5mm, please check whether this works by probing via the menue Zero / Z-Probe.
I couldn’t test it as my processor is different… Good luck!

Sure, no problem Frank. Are you using a touch plate? If so, what’s its height? I somewhat hardcoded the homing sequence in the firmware.

I’m sorry, I haven’t. Why don’t you check it out first, maybe you’ve got some ideas how to make it better. Not sure whether I would call it ‘brilliant’, it’s just a couple of small but effective changes, I’d guess.
Would be a good idea maybe to work with Ryan
Yeah, more than happy to. But I’m not sure whether this is the team’s focus right now.
As for BTT updates, users aren’t forced to update to the latest,
That’s good to know, thank you. But there might be useful changes from BTT we’d like to use as well.
Maybe also keep the complies version open source for others to alter?
Yes, that’s the plan. I’ll create a public fork. But I must admit I’m still a rookie when it comes to Github, so I’d need a bit of learning first…

I have the v1 engineering touch plate.
Which I believe is 0.5mm thick.
here we go:
Release_Frank.zip (2.2 MB)
Touch plate is 0.5mm.
Can you please follow the above instructions: https://forum.v1e.com/t/tft35-firmware-for-cnc/36279/12?u=avatario

ok so i have updated, however my custom g-code entries in config.ini aren’t showing.
This is what i got:
custom_label_8:Start Router
custom_gcode_8:M106 P0\n
custom_label_9:Stop Router
custom_gcode_9:M107 P0\n
custom_label_10:Start Vacuum
custom_gcode_10:M106 P2\n
custom_label_11:Stop Vacuum
custom_gcode_11:M107 P2\n
But when i go into “Custom” they arent listed? Is there a way to re-upload the config.ini file only?
Haven‘t you kept your own config.ini?
My understanding is that you simply copy your own config.ini to the sd card.
yeah i did this, but doesnt show the custom entires.
So thought maybe of re-uploading it to try again
Does it show any other custom entries?
These are the standard custom entries. Your ini file is not active. Please try again.
What do I try again?
How do I make it active?
Please copy your ini-file onto the SD card (again) and reboot.
A couple of questions:
- Does the new menu show up?
- Have the extensions of the folder ‘TFT’ and the firmware file changed to *.cur?
Ahhh I think that’s the problem, I updated everything and uploaded my own config.Ini file but it was cur.
Will retry it with all of them being Not Cur lol
Problem solved!
You are a champion!
PS. I think your firmware is perfect
