Sidewinder X1 - Firmware flash helper (cut the display connection)
Description
This is an adapter for cutting the connection between TFT display and mainboard allowing to flash the firmware without issues and without having to unplug the cable each time on the Artillery Sidewinder X1. The DIP switch can be reached from outside of the case through the ventilation louver, with a screwdriver for example. The whole constructions is made from two parts: The main, connector / switch and the printed part. The connector / switch is little bit **for more advanced and experienced users** due to the electronic parts that have to be crimped and soldered together. This solution is meant to be used with the newer version of the connection cable that has four wires instead of the older one with the flat band cable. It would / should work also with the older flat band cable but haven't tested it and probably needs smaller modifications on the printed part, there where this cable plugs into the connector of the adapter. **This switch should be used (changing on/off state) only if the printer is powered off!** **Change always the state of all four switches.** Attached is also the FreeCAD 0.18 file.
