Configure Wi-Fi setting
Node can be easily set up by storing WiFi setting in a text file at the root directory of the microSD card.
During boot up, Node will load the configuration file and connect with the latest setting.
Steps for
1. Connect the microSD Card to a computer using card reader (also included with Ender 3 printers)
2. Format microSD card to FAT32. Please use this card only exclusively for printing with Node. Do
not share card with other applications.
Prepare TF card and TF Card Reader
Remove the SD card from the Node.
Considering that the SD card is prone to poor
contact with the card holder, the SD card
configured by Node Pro is a little thicker than the
standard card, which makes it a bit difficult to
remove the SD card.
Remove SD card from Node Pro
If the SD card does not automatically eject after
you press the SD card, please perform the
following actions.
●Loosen the four screws shown in the
picture
●As shown in the picture below on the right,
use your fingernail to remove the SD card
Enter WiFi setting in config
ssid specify WiFi Access Point name. Change the WiFi name to the name of access point you preferred.
pass_word: Your wifi password. Enter plaintext, this configuration file will be deleted after the wifi is
configured, please don't worry about password leakage. We only support WPA2
device_name: The device name of your Node. In the same local area network, please try to use different
device names for different Nodes.
fliament_detect: Whether to add material break detection sensor. If not, set this value to 0
The last line ends with a 0.
Please note: after each colon, do not have a space to separate text. The last line must add a 0.
config.txt example
If your WiFi app has SSID of mywifi and a passcode is 55558888. And you want this Node to be
identified as SuperNode. Your config.txt would look like:
ssid:mywifi
pass_word:55558888
device_name:SuperNode
filament_detect:0
0
Insert SD card
After configuring the wifi file of the SD card,
we need to insert the SD card into the Node.
Power on
Node is powered by standard USB 5V power
source to its USB-C port. Please locate and use the
5V charging adapter included in the Node
shipment.
Connect USB Cable to Node Type C port.
*Best to use included USB 5V Charger. Some USB
PD Charger may have over 5V current that could
damage Node.
Confirm the baud rate of the
printer
The default working baud rate of Node is 115200. If
your printer is not using this baud rate, then Node will
not be able to communicate with the printer.
Some known firmware default baud rates:
●Creality stock firmware: 115200
●JyperUI's firmware: 115200
●Professional firmware for Ender3 V2: 250000
Node Status
Node has a status light (highlighted on the right) that
will tells you
●Blinking red: SD card not found
●Steady red light: wifi has not been configured
●Steady green light: wifi configuration
