FIRMWARE UPDATE BROUGHT TO YOU BY SONICBOOM
 
**This firmware is specific to the Artillery Hornet with Manual Mesh Bed Leveling** see my other creations for the Sidewinder X1 firmware with and without BL Touch.
 
**Flash firmware at your own risk!!** You really can't brick your printer but you can incur some downtime if not done properly. I will do my best to assist should an issue arise, Marlin firmware is FREE under the GPL license and can be obtained from marlinfw.org. You are only paying for a customized, tested and supported version for the Hornet.  It also comes with close to immediate support unless you are on another continent, then it is about a 6 hour delay. 
 
It is best NOT to flash your firmware immediately after purchasing a 3D printer. Instead, accustom yourself to it and how you print, once you feel you reached the limits of your current firmware, you can upgrade.
 
I hope you enjoy the quality of my firmware builds and hope it helps your printing success. I decided to create my own firmware after trying one firmware the owner felt he knew what features I wanted and which ones I didn't, and another that sent my nozzle dragging across the bed of my week old printer.. at that point I felt I had to make my own and not only maintain it as much and as fast as possible, but also ensure any features available are being taken advantage of while at the same time configuring the firmware to give us Sidewinder/Genius/Hornet owners the best possible prints.
 
I only charge a small fee to account for a fraction of the time spent compiling, updating, customizing, testing, troubleshooting and supporting my firmware version, Thank you and Happy printing!
 
Note, I will try to keep the last 3 firmware's in rotation but if you need a special configuration for your printer please let me know what you need and I will be happy to tweak it for your specific setup.
 
Updating instructions will also be added to download
 
This printer is actually pretty simple to update, you NO longer need to jumper any pins!.

1. Download and install STM32CubeProgrammer from https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html, this will be used to upload the firmware to the printer, we will use DFU mode for that on the Memory and File edition tab.
2. Download and install Pronterface https://github.com/kliment/Printrun
3. Now connect the printer to the computer via USB and open Pronterface.
3a. Select your port and baud rate, 250000 should work.
3b. In the command window type M997 and press send, ignore the errors. 
3c. Open STM32CubeProgrammer, DO NOT CHANGE TABS. on the right side, select USB for port and then the super extra bright fluorescent green connect button. Once connected, press Open File and browse to the firmware.bin you just downloaded and press the Download button to send flash the printer.
5. Congratulations!! your printer is now running the latest firmware with all the extra bells and whistles.
6.After firmware is flashed IF you see an option to initialize EEPROM select RESET. This is a new feature to ensure you have the latest settings loaded.
7. Close everything up and enjoy!
Note; If printer does not want to take the new firmware, please download and install verison 11 from the Artillery3D website first.
 
NOTE: If the printer is not recognized by your computer, download and install Zadig’s USB driver software from https://zadig.akeo.ie/
 
Once installed under options tab press “List all Devices”
Find “STM32 BOOTLOADER” and install the WinUSB driver
