SD Card Content:

• M200 SD card content

Drvier:

• INF Driver for Windows

Apps:

• Android app: Beta version for testing ~~BARCODE~id=css_id~class=css_class~mode=0~size=S~caption=x~url=http://goo.gl/9LIlVF~~
• Desktop app: Create virtual comport COM100 to access though wifi. Beta version for testing

Note:

• Wifi and USB cannot access simultaneously. Please disconnect USB from printer if you want to use wifi function.

Wifi usage(Method A) https://youtu.be/XuO_UaUFlBI:

1. Update to latest firmware. 
2. Press and holding center button on "Move" menu will enter config status. Release button when smart config dialog show. Run android app to config wifi. 

Wifi usage(Method B):

1. Using command "M550 SSID" & "M551 PASSWORD" to enter AP information though terminal. 
2. You will see IP show up in title bar. 

Access though web browser:

• Check IP address displayed on LCD, copy this address to web browser in computer.

• Cura setting for M200
• Type of thermistors of M200
• Tune PID
• LCD UI corrupted.
• Invert motor direction
• Changing parameters
• Sample code for web interface
• Extended gcode table
• Temperature display 353C
• Cura 2.3 USB Printing

• Motion controller
• UI controller

Update method:

Copy update.bin to clean formatted microSD card. Create empty file named “fcupdate.flg”. Insert card and power on printer to update.

Copy lcd.bin to clean formatted microSD card. Move extruder head to trigger both X&Y. Power on printer with holding button of wifi module(center button for M200), if extruder fan start to turn indicate update started. Please wait 2 minute for update then fan will stop.

Latest UI controller no longer support microSD card flash. Please upload firmware using browser.

Note: lcd.bin is use for card update only. DO NOT upload lcd.bin though browser, it will brick your machine. Latest firmware is in different file format.

This interface is designed by Jason Jones, thanks very much for his work.

To change original web UI, upload html file using browser to the 3rd upload box in address: http://printer_address/up

- Press the button will automatically start print file(file name should start with auto, Ex: auto00.g) on SD card.

- Press the button while printing will pause, press again will resume.

- Press and holding the button for 4 seconds while printing will cancel the job.

- Press and holding the button for 4 seconds in idle state will initial WIFI smart config. This function is the same as M200. Please check attachment video for configuration WIFI.

Problem	Picture	Solution
X/Y scaling wrong		Recalibrate X/Y axis scale
Shifted layers		Shifted layers
Skipping Steps		Printing speed too fast or nozzle hit the warped model
Corner ringing		Appears as ripples which rapidly diminish in amplitude
Dual extrusion offset		ReplicatorG tool change command bug fix
Layer shifts on X-axis		1. Glass is loose or glass installed at wrong side. 2. End-stopper triggered by noise. Always shift to left side. 3. Cool nozzle hit wrapped corner. Heat up both extruder can help. 4. Too fast printing speed. Please slow down to 50% to test.
