What is firmware?
Firmware is a type of software that provides control and monitoring of devices. It can be flashed into devices to change their behavior, or it can run on devices to provide management and control. Firmware is often used in embedded systems, such as smart TVs, wireless routers, and other Internet-of-Things devices.
Creality CR-10s pro firmware 1.70.1:
Creality cr-10s pro firmware 1.70.1 improves the reliability of printing by adding new features and fixing bugs. You can download the latest firmware at creality3d official website.
Upgraduation:
There are two ways to update firmware: using TF card or using USB cable. Here we take updating firmware via TF card for example:
- Insert the TF card into the printer and connect the printer to your computer via USB cable.
- Turn on the printer and wait until it is connected to the computer.
- Open the firmware file you have downloaded and copy it to the root directory of the TF card.
- Disconnect the USB cable and turn off the printer.
- Insert the TF card into the printer and turn on the printer. The firmware will be updated automatically.
After updating firmware, you may need to adjust some settings in order to get better printing results. You can find these settings in “Printer Settings” dialog box:
What is TF card?
TF card, also known as TransFlash or microSD card, is a type of flash memory used in portable devices. It is typically used in smartphones and tablets, but it can also be used in other types of devices, such as digital cameras and gaming consoles.
TF cards are small and lightweight, making them ideal for portable devices. They are also relatively affordable, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious consumers.
Root directory:
The root directory is the top-level directory of a file system. It is the directory that contains all other directories and files on a system. The root directory is sometimes referred to as the “root folder” or “root drive.”
On Windows systems, the root directory is typically located at C:\. On Mac systems, it is typically located at /. On Linux systems, it is typically located at /.
What is a USB cable?
A USB cable is a type of cable used to connect a computer to a peripheral device, such as a printer, mouse, or keyboard. USB cables are also used to connect smartphones and other devices to computers.
USB cables come in different types, such as Type-A, Type-B, and Type-C. The most common type of USB cable is the Type-A to Type-B cable, which is used to connect a computer to a printer.
Type-A:
The Type-A connector is the standard rectangular connector found on most computers and peripherals.
Type-B:
The Type-B connector is the square connector found on devices such as printers and scanners.
Type-C:
The Type-C connector is the newest type of USB connector. It is smaller than other types of USB connectors and can be used with smaller devices, such as smartphones.
