Hi all
I found one thread similar to this but it was last updated in April 2019, I want to update the Firmware on H3 Hero D3 because, whilst it works ok, the USB interface is flaky, it can't read sub folders on the card, it doesn't have auto bed levelling, etc, etc.
The Firmware for this recent purchase says Marlin 1.0.0 (in the source), HICTOP website also has a .hex and they sent a .hex to the person on the earlier thread who was kind enough to share it (his was for the Duale which is a slightly different SKU but still IDEX)
However the April 2019 .Hex is different from the one now on their website and if I compile their source I get a 3rd .hex which matches neither one.
So I started comparing the source to the earliest Marlin I could find on Github but whilst theirs indicate 1.0.0 there a large gaps which are either their editing or changes to the Github since 2017 and I can't tell which.
My questions are:
1. Does anyone have a copy of the early 1.0.0 source files I can have for comparison?
2. has anyone successfully updated the firmware on their Hero D3 and if so with which .Hex?
3. Does anyone have any information about the mainboard and/or capacitive touch screen on these printers?
Things I've discovered so far:
- The changes all seemed to be made by someone called 'ZYF' who apparently worked for Tenlog (HICTOP and TENLOG have some kind of deal worked out and HICTOP seem to be focusing on consumer).
I'm working through all the differences and can see that its based on a RAMPS board with additions for something they refer to as 'TENLOG Controller' which may be either the board or the screen or a combination of the two. The Planner has been drastically cut down and there are several G/M codes not implemented including 'Kill' there's also a Power Fail handling which never gets triggered (not that I've found so far). The screen may use a hitachi HD44780 or be 'ST970' since there are changes to both files.
Anyone else been doing any work on this?
Thanks
