Please upgrade your browser or activate Google Chrome Frame to improve your experience.This time I had a little help from Norman Gilman with some pictures and a few of the steps, helping to get my mind in gear to write this.Now please note Neither Norman Or I installed these setup with the auto bed leveling because we use glass beds to thick for the factory blue sensor to see the bed through the glass.Lets start out by showing exactly how my Upgrade kit came in From Tronxy.
Not because this Kit does not come with any hardware you can either remove the Factory X5S screen and control board, now to use the hardware not or do it once the wiring is swapped over. I started with the screen (protective cover still on my screen) Make sure when you put the touch screen frame on the touch screen that you put it so the holes will line up. Tronxy Firmware Full Screen SystemTime to put together the full screen system by attaching the touch screen and frame to the mount. At this point you can go ahead and put the M4 bolts and T nuts on the touch screen mount so you can mount it later. ![]() Note in this picture I have installed all the spacers and the Z parallel adapter. I also mounted mine different so make sure for a factory setup you have the SD card facing upwards) Now the fun begins Swap in the new control board. Screen ribbon cable slots in writing facing board (carefully lock into place with black plastic latch and gently test with a tug to check it is locked in). Connected MOSFET thus (heavy gauge black and red wire are from PSU). Small red LED indicates power to MOSFET is correctly applied. For this I use 12 AWG wire (wire not provided in Kit) Power up after thoroughly checking everything and navigate around the menus. Tapping this brings you to the manual driving arrows and the HOME icon in the center. DO NOT hit this until you have run the no-level.gcode. I buried my hot end in the glass bed as it didnt recognize z-stop until I did that. If you mount the auto level sensor there is no need for the non-level gcode file. Test MOSFET operation by navigating to the PREHEAT menu (also under TOOL icon). Tap icon for bed preheat (a small bonfire icon) I think there are a number of preset bed temps on here. Successive taps on other arrows changes temps (Thermistor measured temp is on the left, target temp on the right). Once you know things are running right install board and screen into similar spots on frame as before (Norman moved the board mount inside frame to clean up the wiring outside). Tested out the autohome after running no-level.gcode. The MOSFET PCB mounts were crap on mine and 2 of them snapped off as I screwed into them. Et voila. Nasty blue light comes from LED running lights.
