Call Touch C88 Tab Flash File MT6572 6.1 Firmware

A driver is a piece of code your computer uses to interface/control/talk to/understand a piece of connected hardware. Your computer may not understand your printer off the jump, so you need to install a driver to help it out.
Next, you need to download this zip file that contains all kinds of different configurations of a firmware flavour called Marlin. The firmware has been rewritten and tweaked six ways from Sunday for all kinds of different printers and features. Extract the file to a folder somewhere on your computer.
So this thing sits on top of a free code editor from Microsoft called Visual Studio Code. Per the instructions on the site, you have to download and install Visual Studio Code first, and then follow the instructions to install PlatformIO as an add-on.
i Googled it, and it turns out that if some other program is listening to the COM port that your printer is using, this process will fail. In my case, i just had to close Cura (my slicer software) and click Upload again to get it to go.
So i had to retrace my steps and get rid of the touch sensor firmware and restore back to the unmodified vanilla firmware, until i could get my hands on one of those adapters. (Amazon predicts weeks of waiting, here in Canada. Sigh.)
