Open Device Manager and plug in the USB cable from the printer to the computer (I find it’s best to have the printer powered first). I'm NOT asking for purchase advice, I'm looking for where to start or more information on the upgrade. Unfortunately, my skills at importing/analyzing STL files in the software I have on hand are rudimentary and limited at best. Between the time when I first started this project and now I have put Raspberry Pi's with Octoprint on my printers, and discovered that the Anet firmware does not have temperature overrun safeties built in. Assuming the port is USB for plugging in a USB BLE dongle there will be 5V, GND and D+ and D- so you should be able to work it out from this?
I started feeling the same way as DarkTerritory, here, who started a forum post in 2018 with “K so I’m thinking abut trying to upgrade my old Anet A8 motherboard to Marlin.And speaking of the extruder, I will be happy to get rid of the current firmware's extruder "stutter" which doesn't give the nicest results. I can't just Google anet a8 main board upgrade because there are so many different options to upgrade. Can be used on any and all kinds of instruments, meters and sensor's installation is simple, which greatly improves the efficiency of the anode. Items are untested and unsorted by Jobalots and may be damaged, coming directly from the source company. Take the time to purchase and fit a mosfet for both heated bed and extruder with appropriate rated wire.

There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Speculating I suspect that, as in the case of a simple microswitch, LOW values for Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_HIT_STATE and Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_HIT_STATE may be required for the ANET A8 1. The CR Touch is currently wired with YELLOW to LCD pin 3 (Servo pin 27), WHITE to J3 pin 8 (GND), BLUE to Z-min pin 3 (Signal), BLACK to Z-min pin 2 (+5V) and RED to Z-min pin 1 (GND). The MISO/SCK/RST side is to face the other 10 pin socket which the programming port is connected to.I went the whole hog and used a computer fan to cool them and haven’t looked back, all wiring diagrams and upgrade options are on Thingiverse and worth a look and easy to follow if your not too tech savvy. DRIVER BOARD: The motherboard is driven by the onboard 4 way A4988 16 subdivision stepper driver board motor, and has USB interface, which is convenient for connection and stable in operation. A good deal came my way and I am intrigued by the roller wheels instead of linear "glides" to move everything around - I suspect the rollers will be far smoother than the cheap linear bearings that usually come with these cheap printers. These boards are a nice replacement but please learn from my mistake if you run everything from just this board as the kits come you run the risk of terminals melting and a fire which I narrowly avoided.
The CR Touch probe malfunctioned on initial probe deployment, triggering repeated probe deployments with an accompanying printer reboot cycle. In Marlin IDE, after the project opens and if everything looks like the image, you are ready to upload the firmware. The related products of anet a8 motherboard: The hot bed power module is equipped with heat sink, a special heat sink and anodized aluminum alloy housing.I'm in a situation where I need to control current to the E stepper and am trying to figure out how.
Why don't you download one of the many casings that are found on Thingiverse that house the Anet electronics board and take measurements from those cases. In the end they did resolve their issue, but again left the steps largely as an exercise for the reader. mainboard is compatible with both 12V and 24V DC power input while the previous versions only adapts 12V power input. On internet i find only setup guide for update at marlin firmare for 3d printer, but i want to use thi board for custom projects. Actually I found the defaults worked very well with my Anet A8 and so did not need to change them from what is specified in the configuration files.All going well, it will soon complete and then your printer should reboot (If not, reboot it yourself by unplugging and replugging everything). USB interface: The 3D printer motherboard comes with a USB interface, the control board is light in weight, and the connection is simple and safe. As soon as I have the new print head and gantry installed I'll fire up the new firmware and see how it handles the X endstop being off to the side of the bed and see if the Anet A8 controller really does have digipots.
Great Deal
