After compiling the firmware, copy the "asset" folder and the .bin file generated after compilation to the root directory of the SD card. Insert the SD card into the mainboard's slot, then turn on the power to update the firmware. The display will show the update progress.

3. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Once the MKS Monster8 V2 board is installed and firmware updated, you can operate your 3D printer using the connected display. The display allows for control over various printer functions.

3.1 Basic Movement and Controls

Use the touchscreen or rotary encoder on your MKS display to navigate menus and control printer axes (X, Y, Z) and the extruder. This allows for manual positioning and filament loading/unloading.

3.2 Initiating a Print

After preparing your G-code file on an SD card, insert it into the display's SD card slot (if applicable) or the mainboard's slot. Navigate to the print menu on the display and select your file to begin printing. Ensure the heated bed and hotend reach the desired temperatures before printing starts.

4. പരിപാലനം

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MKS Monster8 V2 control board.

• വൃത്തിയായി സൂക്ഷിക്കു: Regularly clean the board and surrounding area to prevent dust and debris accumulation, which can lead to overheating or short circuits.
• ഈർപ്പം ഒഴിവാക്കുക: Ensure the control board is kept in a dry environment to prevent damage from moisture or humidity.
• കണക്ഷനുകൾ പരിശോധിക്കുക: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from wear or damage. Loose connections can cause intermittent issues or component failure.
• ഫേംവെയർ അപ്‌ഡേറ്റുകൾ: Stay updated with the latest firmware releases from Makerbase to benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features.

5. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

This section addresses common issues and their solutions for the MKS Monster8 V2 control board.

5.1 Power-Related Issues

• ബോർഡ് ഓണാക്കുന്നില്ല: If the board does not power on, first check if the power supply wiring is reversed. The MKS Monster8 V2 includes TVS power supply anti-reverse and spike protection, preventing damage from incorrect polarity, but the board will not function until correctly wired.
• Raspberry Pi "Currently Throttled" Error: The MKS Monster8 V2 provides a stable DC 5.1V/3A power output specifically designed for Raspberry Pi. If you encounter a "Currently Throttled" error, ensure your Raspberry Pi is connected to this dedicated power interface on the Monster8 V2 to avoid voltage and current instability.

5.2 Motor and Sensor Protection

• Stepper Motor Damage: The board features a protection circuit for back electromotive force (EMF) generated by stepper motors. This significantly reduces potential damage to motor drivers, even if the print head is manually moved or obstructed.
• ESD കേടുപാടുകൾ: The motherboard's MOS drive circuit and temperature measurement circuit are protected by Schottky diodes, reducing damage from external static electricity spikes. The board has been tested to withstand 4kV of static electricity.
• PL08N Leveling Sensor Issues: The PL08N leveling sensor signal interface is protected by Schottky diodes with a withstand voltage of 40V. This ensures that the signal pin of the chip will not be burned out due to sensor-related issues.
