How to use the new Firmware for the TFT-Display Ver. 3.0.2 (2018/05/05)
Hello,

If you have an older version, then this could be the reason for the above problems.
I have just seen that there is a new firmware for the TFT display.
This should now also be able to display motherboard errors. How to adjust the LCD firmware for the A5?

There is a way to check the current TFT display firmware version:
From the main menu, touch <Set> then <About>.
Then the current firmware version of the Toch-display is displayed.
For me it is already the latest version: 3.0.2
If you have an older version, then this could be the reason for the above problems.

Thank you for the new TFT display firmware. I saved it for the time being. But I do not want to take any risks and do not use baby stepping at this time. Is an original V3.02 display firmware available from JGAURORA or alternative sources?
Can I back up my original display firmware from the display controller?
I value the bugs fixed in my factory display firmware version and do not want to lose this version.
I wrote to JGAURORA about the new display firmware.
The answer came, but JGAURORA sent with only one link for the firmware of January 2018. That's the version we already have. Meanwhile, I have a look at the files of the display firmware. I am still orienting myself on how this works. As it looks to me, only the file mks_config.txt is customizable. The actual program code does not appear. It must therefore be in the file mkstft28.bin. That would mean that all bugfixes from the display manufacturer take place in this file. Apparently, the display user functionality has not changed from January to June 2018. Then there should be no risk if you combine the file mks_config.txt from January with the mkstft28.bin file from June 2018. Am I right with that ?
Then it's clear how it works. That's a lot easier than I thought.
Since I had some LCD crashes I have taken their 3.0.2 beta so far everything is fine, just the caption does not fit anymore you have an idea what I have to change. Have read a lot and tried but it does not really workย
