Flashing

Before flashing to your printer write down any modified settings such as tool offsets, extruder steps, etc. This will process will set your printer's settings back to how it was out of the box

  1. Download Robin_pro.bin from this release page
  2. Place the file on the SD card. The filename must not be changed.
  3. Power down the printer
  4. Place SD card in the printer
  5. Power the printer on.

The screen should say "updating" with a percentage. Do not power the printer off or remove the SD card during this process. The printer will reboot when it is finished and you will see the JGMaker bootscreen followed by the Marlin bootscreen.
Your printer should now be updated
A good final task after any update is to reset the EEPROM for the printer. Go to the Configuration menu and scroll down to "Initialize EEPROM". Select this value. This will reset all stored settings to their defaults.

At any point you wish to go back to the original firmware you can download it from JGMaker's site and follow the same steps as above.
