Ⅰ.Overview MKS Robin Nano is a product developed by MKS to meet market demand.Configuration of the firmware method is simpler, and with TFT touch screen(Optional 2.4 inch, 2.8 inch, 3.2 inch when purchased),.Simple operation interface.The firmware can be easily upgraded through the SD card and the user interface can be customized. It is suitable for the manufacturer of mass production 3D printers as the main control board.
4.5 Driver and motherboard wiring diagram (note the driving direction, do not insert the reverse) The following descriptions and descriptions of the parameters of the different drive modules are limited to the version produced by the makebase. Different manufacturers may have different Drive subdivision table: (Motherboard subdivision jumper resistance from left to right are M1, M2, M3, respectively, where the resistance is High, the resistance is removed to Low, the motherboard defaults M1, M2, M3, are high, there are other requirements , can adjust itself).

The step values are calculated according to 16 subdivisions.

I=Vref/0.8 I=Vref*2 I=Vref*2 I=Vref/1.414 I=Vref*1.9/2.5 Formula The driving current must be converted by measuring the driving voltage. To measure the driving voltage Vref, refer to the following figure. The Vref can be adjusted according to the running condition of the motor, and the upper knob can be adjusted by adjusting (clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease).
Ⅴ.Firmware Upgrade Instructions The factory firmware is up to date, so no updates are required. 5.1 The ways to get the MKS Robin Nano Latest Firmware. Get firmware from customer service or technician Download the firmware from the makerbase discussion group.
Ⅵ. USB driver Installation MKS Robin nano uses CH340 drive. You can get USB driver file with customer service or technician.Click to install the USB driver file, after the driver installation completes, will connect the Robin motherboard the USB to insert the USB...
Ⅶ. Machine parameters and function configuration 7.1 Basic settings ( Important, must be set ) Note: The thermal end interface on the motherboard should be connected to the thermal, otherwise an "error" prompt will appear.
A. Motor direction: After the point back 0, if the direction of the reverse direction, then modify 1 or 0; B. Pulse value : The pulse value of 1mm for each axis is calculated, and the formula for calculating the pulse value of each shaft motor is as follows: Formula of pulse number/mm of synchronous wheel motor: (...

You can also use the refueling function to configure the reversing head rotation speed and the minimum temperature in the configuration file during the printing midpoint pause, as shown below;...
7.6 Filament Detecting 7.7 Power off recovery The motherboard function itself has a breakpoint continuous function. If you want higher requirements, you can add UPS power for the following reasons: 1. No UPS Power 1.1 A sudden power outage during the printing process, machine can continue to print from the power off. (due to power failure can not drive the motor, the print head will still remain on the model, may cause defects in the model, if the need for more complete power off processing, the need for power detection module and UPS).
7.8 Auto off after print finish function Robin nano motherboard needs to cooperate with the shutdown module to complete the shutdown function, and open the shutdown configuration in the configuration file, and also need to click the "auto power off" button on the screen to complete the shutdown.
Ⅷ. The network printing function MKS Robin nano uses the network printing features, just add the Robin wifi module, wifi configuration in the configuration file, and then use the Mkscould mobile phone app to connect the WiFi module, it can be printed through the app control machine.
1. Cloud Print Mode: Recommended for use in a WiFi router environment with Internet access. Once you have a network connection to the WiFi module, the printer becomes the online printer on the cloud.Access to the app or control printer anywhere in the world. can also be in the local area network through the host computer (Printrun, etc.) to control the printer.
