Need help to build opensource project

Projects Programming

Hello. Im trying to build&flash firmware for my 3D printer WiFi module.

Im familiar with embedded, but have zero experience with arduino and its ecosystem.

The device called Makerbase MKS WiFi.
Here the git link GitHub - makerbase-mks/MKS-WIFI: MKS TFT WIFI and MKS ROBIN WIFI , share the same firmware. Support MKS Robin series board and MKS TFT series board, for cloud printing and LAN printer controling……

The issue is - arduino IDE cant build project with a miriad inconsistent errors.

Project readme.md points, what i need to replace official ESP8266 library with some modified one. I tried but has no luck, errors still pops.

Idk how arduino toolchain works and what may cause this errors. (im also have few esp standalone toolchains on my system, maybe that is the reason?)

Maybe some one could help me? IDK, try to build it by itself? Im really need this binary, but MKS community seems to be dead.

Most of the Makerbase projects provide a prebuilt binary you can download. Did you look for one?

Never mind, I re-read your post and realize that you need to make changes.

Hello. Thank you for such fast answer. Im have found a prebuilt early, but in guidelines it is called an UPDATE and flash thru mainboard SD Card port. Im tried to flash it from 0x0 address but have no luck with that. So im conclude what it is an update only binary.

PS I dont need to make changes. Im just have a try with different WiFi firmware (ESP3D) and now want to go back to MKS WiFi default one.

That's different from what I've seen. There's a downloadable application for the Makerbase controller I have that will reflash the board with their binary. I just used it once after reprogramming with my code and deciding to switch back to theirs..

If following their instructions for the SD card doesn't work, I'd suggest contacting them on their Discord to ask for help.
