  1. If the SpeederPad does not work properly during the process of upgrading or modifying it, you can try to use the method in this tutorial to re-flash the image .

  2. If you need to make some upgrades and your own modifications to the PAD, we strongly recommend making modifications in our published image system to ensure compatibility in later versions.

  3. For the security of your system, it is recommended that you change the password in time after downloading and flashing the image. If you do not need to modify the system, it is recommended that you close the SSH service. Enter "sudo systemctl disable ssh" in SSH and restart it to take effect.

  make flash FLASH_DEVICE=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
  service klipper start

54.Be sure to update the FLASH_DEVICE parameter with the printer's unique serial port name.

55.Upgrade has been completed: image

Upload configuration to Speeder Pad

1.Create a new folder and rename the folder to "Printer Model + Size + Leveling Method",For example Flsun-Q5, the size is 200200200, and the leveling method is Autolevel, then the folder name is "Flsun-Q5 pro 200200200 Autolevel".

2.The folder contains two files, one is firmware, usually ending with .bin, and the other is printer.cfg. Please write the options for compiling firmware at the beginning of printer.cfg, for example:

    # This file contains common configurations and pin mappings
    # for the Flsun Q5 using the MKS Robin Nano board.
    # To use this config, the firmware should be compiled for the
    # STM32F103. When running "make menuconfig", enable "extra low-level
    # configuration setup", select the 28KiB bootloader, and serial (on
    # USART3 PB11/PB10) communication.
    # Note that the "make flash" command does not work with MKS Robin
    # boards. After running "make", run the following command:
    # ./scripts/update_mks_robin.py out/klipper.bin out/Robin_nano.bin
    # Copy the file out/Robin_nano.bin to an SD card and then restart the
    # printer with that SD card.

3.Compress this folder and send it to the specified mailbox:flsun_email@163.com

4.We will publish to Speeder Pad library after reviewd.
