MKS DLC32 Hardware Interface
Wiring ：

3
After you receive the motherboard, first check whether the appearance of the
motherboard is complete. Then you can connect according to the interface marked in the
picture according to the wiring of your Machine.
POWER PART
External switch. （ If need use, please remove the fuse ）
Fuse. （ Fusing current -10A ）

4
MOTOR PART
LASER/CNC PART
LASER-3PIN-TTL
Pluggable drive interface.
（ Such as A4988, TMC2209, etc. ）
DIP switch (adjusting drive microstepping)
External drive interface (Expand high current drive)
EN-STEP(PUL)-DIR=GND
V:LASER power supply (Vlaser=Vin, 12-24V)
G:GND
S:TTL ( Default 1KHZ, Range 1-10KHZ, 0-5V)

5
LASER-2PIN/CNC
LCD PART
G:GND
S:PWM (PWM signal, 0-12V OR 0-24V)
NOTE: If the laser/cnc directly loaded by the
motherboard, it is recommended that the current
should not exceed 2A
If more power is required, it is recommended to
supply additional power to the load

Note:
1.During the connection process, you need to pay attention to the spindle ， laser, 12/24v
and other interfaces, all of which have a distinction between "+" and "-", so you must pay
attention to the wiring process to prevent the positive and negative connections from
being reversed, resulting in damage to the motherboard.
2.The motherboard comes with firmware by default, Generally does not need to be
updated. If there is no display after connecting the TS35-R screen, or if the screen is blank,
it means that the motherboard firmware has been externally erased. You can refer to the
second part of firmware update and update the firmware again. Or you can consult our
amazon customer service or get technical support by email.
3.Any wiring or adjustment operation, please do it when the power is off.

MKS DLC32 update firmware
1.Download DLC32 FIRMWARE
You can go to our MKS github to download ：
https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-DLC32/tree/main/firmware
Download firmware. Download according to the current motherboard situation and
machine situation.
Screen Type (TS35/TS24)
Function type (laser/CNC)
Machine mechanism distinction (normal/coroxy),
Motherboard hardware version (1.0/2.0).
Please select the corresponding bin file to download according to your own machine
conditions.
2.Software installation
Download and Installation of MKS LASERTOOL
https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-DLC32/tree/main/firmware/tool

8
If the DLC32 is connected to the PC for the first time, the USB driver file CH340 needs to be
installed to be recognized by the PC.

9
The motherboard needs to be connected to 12-24v for power supply when connecting USB
to PC. If the 12-24v power supply is not connected, the motherboard will not recognize it.
As shown in the figure below, after the connection, the com is correctly identified.
3.Firmware Update Process
Select MKS DLC32 download tool

10
Select firmware file and parameters
SPI SPEED, FLASH SIZE, BAUDRATE parameters are consistent with the picture settings.
COM: Select according to the allocation of the motherboard in the device manager
FILE: Select the required firmware (bin) downloaded from github
After the above parameters are set, click "start" and wait for the firmware update to
complete.

MKS DLC32 control mode
MKS DLC32 can be controlled in these ways
1.TS24/TS35. Direct control from the screen
2.PC Host computer software control

12
3.Web control
The motherboard needs to be connected to the local network. The IP of DLC32 will be
displayed on the screen,
Enter the IP of the motherboard in the browser to enter this interface
4.APP Control
The APP can be downloaded directly from the Google App Store. The usage method is
similar to the web control, and the connection is made by entering the IP of the DLC32
motherboard.(The mobile phone and the DLC32 motherboard must be on the same
network to connect successfully)

Q&A of MKS DLC32
Q1:Why is there no power supply to the motherboard and the screen after
connecting the usb cable.
A1:DLC32 motherboard communication and power supply are separate. Whether
it is updating the firmware or controlling the motherboard, it must be powered by
12-24v, the usb interface is not powered.
Q2:Why is the screen display incomplete or blurry?
A2:The motherboard update firmware does not match. Such as hardware version,
or screen type. Just select the correct firmware and re-update to restore.
Q3:Why can't the web control or app control connect to the motherboard?
A3:Check whether the DLC32 and the PC (or mobile phone) are on the same
network.
Only the same network can control
Q4:How to use air assist
A4:PINs (SCL) and (gnd) on the motherboard can be used for air assist.
Note: The main board output is a control signal (3.3v)
Q5:what if my question is not covered in this one?
A5:You can contact us directly through Amazon.
