Try with lower case. |
|
first thing tried but no luck
New microcontroller confirmed |

This MCU is not implemented yet in this repository. AFAIK there's no BTT TFT with this MCU. |
|
@Help3D-Padova I also don't have this new TFT. That GD32F305 is not currently supported |
@digant73 i know, they are shipped with the last unit manufactured in december |

I would convert the type of the ticket from BUG to FR. That MCU is currently not supported |
|
@digant73 my fault, it is not a bug :) The MCU is not supported but how can i help to find some information about it ? |
|
I think it's related not only to MCU but also the board (MKSTFT28 had same MCU as BTT but different board requiring different settings in the firmware). Usually there is always someone having that HW and applying the changes on firmware (as happened for MKSTFT35). Simply wait some time. |
|
ok i'll find someone that can send me a spare LCD with that MCU |
|
Try to ask here https://github.com/darkspr1te/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware. |

I too have the GD32F305 chip set in the TFT of the Genius Pro. I received my printer 3/11/2022. I would like to find a way to resolve this issue and upload the more functional Marlin firmware. The current installed bootload is 3.0.4 and does not read the micro sd upon booting. I also have an older Artillery X1 and have updated that printer to Marlin. The GUI for the new Genius Pro is very different and has less functionality. Please help! A person posted this: https://www.libhunt.com/posts/553300-how-to-upload-firmware-to-sidewinder-x2-tried-on-sd-card-unplugging-the-tft-flashing-through-the-usb-can-t-figure-out-what-s-right and was able to upload the new Marlin 2.0.9.2 using this technique. https://github.com/MrMagounet/Firmware_Flash-Artillery_X2_GeniusPro I have not tried this yet though.

@reynol3232 flashing Marlin is not a problem because GD32F305 is related to the MCU of the LCD screen. Marlin i s uploaded on the Artillery Ruby |
|
Exactly as Help3D said. Mainboard firmware is not a problem. The TFT MCU is. Currently I am also waiting for the GD32* variant to be supported in order to publish a "combo" of firmwares for SWX2/GP including the new TFTs |
|
I currently am not able to use my machine. I loaded the files onto a microsd: config.ini, firmware.bin, MKSTFT28.bin, MKS folder and then turned on the power. The machine did not seem to do anything different than it's normal booting process. Unfortunately now when I press buttons on the display it seems that even though the command is recognized it is not accepted and the machine does nothing. I just want to put it back to original firmware and cannot do that. |
|
@reynol3232 You need to revert back to stock - ask Artillery for stock files. You cannot you custom firmware till the TFT is made compatible with it (ergo - both mainboard and TFT MCU firmwares are supported and open). |
|
Much appreciated. Yes, I asked Artillery for the stock files. Not sure how I'm going to load them back on though when I receive the files. The bootload is not seeming to read the microsd but I could be wrong. I'd really like to try a stock firmware.bin file from this latest version of Genius Pro but I can't seem to find one online. Is there a way to extract the firmware.bin file from another machine? Can I buy the older Touchscreen and replace the newer version so that I can program it? |
|
Starting over: The Genius Pro "stock" firmware platformio.ini will not compile in VSC code. |
|
Hi ! |
|
I was able to get my "New Version GD32F TFT" Genius Pro running again. It was quite involved and I'm sorry I tried to upgrade the firmware. Staunch warning to anyone trying to upgrade the firmware, wait a few months for the GD32F to be supported. |
|
@reynol3232 it would be great if you could post the stock files somewhere --- just in case there are more ppl doing a flashing by mistake. Thanks ! |
|
Artillery has a github repo with updated Marlin, Genius Pro Firmware and TFT Firmware for a genius pro here: https://github.com/artillery3d/genius-pro-firmware |
....which is a precompiled binary and not the source code.... but oh well.... at least something... |
|
Previously I was not able to load the firmware using the typical micro SD method. And it was very difficult to get my computer to recognize the printer with every driver I tried install in device manager. I used Pronterface, VSC, Marlin, STM32, DFU manager and a host of other software in an attempt to connect before an after jumpering 3.3V and Boot-to pins. Since I've had so much trouble just putting the machine back to stock I think I'm going to wait for the community debug this before I try it. It's obvious to myself that I don't have enough experience with this machine to mess with it like I did with my X1. My machine needs to make parts right now. I wish someone would write a detailed install guide if they get it to work even though it's the compiled version of the firmware. Later when the source code becomes available then a complete guide could updated. Also, is Artillery calling this "new" Genius Pro and X2 "V2" ? ie..."Genius Pro V2" or "Sidewinder X2 V2"...? |
|
Still no news about this screen ? BTT ? |
|
@digant73 Would try some beta firmware for you. But please give me some short description how to flash and how to flash back in my case. Let me know. Thx |
|
artillery3d/sidewinder-x2-tft-firmware@10dcf32 Artillery just added a commit with a new binary to their X2 TFT firmware repo. The commit message reads: "added support for GD32F305 TFT screen" Wondered if this would be of use to anyone here. Edit: Oh looks like the Genius too artillery3d/genius-pro-tft-firmware@3abde71 |
@digant73 I rebased my branch and opened a draft PR #2886. It's a work in progress, must be tested on both bootloader versions (1.3 and 1.4), tomorrow I'll work on it. |
thanks. Take the time you need, it's not urgent. Once you and other users spent time on making that TFT variant working, it would be a sin to lose the work and it could be also useful for BTT if they will provide some TFTs based on that MCU in the future. I will also review you code when you will flag the PR as ready for merge |
@arekkwiecinski None of the available BTT GD firmwares work for me, only the orignal from Artillery |
@Schalonsus are you sure that your board have a GB32 (GigaDevice) MCU and not an STM32 (STMicroelectronics) MCU? |
|
I think so. When starting the printer it states: V3.0.5 |
|
Did you guys use the "reset.txt" trick? |
|
No, did not know about it. Will flash and test again Edit: no, nothing changed, still mirrored and shattered |
|
Its a HST028042 TFT, shouldn't that use IL9341 driver instead of HX8558? |
|
I compiled with ILI9341 and now its just the mirrored problem left |
|
Ok got it working, correct driver is ILI9488 |
Hi, |
|
Here is the guide since i have it already running, here are all possible tft driver bin's: |
|
A lot of thanks for your advices! I'm going to try it ASAP |
|
It's working with ILI9488 and rotate the screen !!!!! Thanks a lot! |
|
Please provide a link for the original firmware because I installed a new mainboard! Thanks |
|
I installed a new motherboard and now I have this on it! If I take the flashed one I can no longer level. He can no longer find the points and moves over the table. !? |
|
What should I play on it so that everything works again? |
Why does the extruder always run over my table? |
|
Did anyone manage to upgrade the bootloader from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 or get rid of that awful long beep? |
|
Nevermind, the bootloader flashing firmware file works with the original Artillery TFT firmware (through the TF card). The missing or corrupted images could be a result of using the patched bootloader, which is not re-populating the SPI flash correctly after the original firmware. That got cured by re-flashing with the original Artillery TFT firmware, then flashing the fw from AX2_New_TFT.zip above. When you get the screen contents upside down, just modify the line in config.ini from rotated_ui:1 to rotated_ui:0 and re-flash. |
|
i doesnt work for me. it seems that the fonts and the icons are not loading during the upgrade procedure. in 1ms its done und i dont see anything on the tft. Anyone with the same problem? Even with the stock firmware i have the same problem. what can i do? |
Okay how did you install it? The TFT ignores all of this. It does not if i use the firmware files from artillery. Where is my mistake? EDIT: I used the files of dave https://dave811.github.io/ATSG/ here and it worked. Easy as cake. The way is long and full of old breadcrumbs that lead nowhere... Until you stumble on some guys website that is old too, but it seems to bring the upgrade needed. I honestly regret touching the firmware at all. 2 days of pain and fear... |
|
Hello, I've read through a few messages here and wanted to ask explicitly if anyone has managed to create a file for the display to flash? With the GD32F305 chipset |
|
All you need is here: https://github.com/kisslorand/BTT-TFT-FW |
|
Maybe you can tell me which TFT I have to take out if I have a GD32F305 I honestly don't quite see through it |
and others
