MKS TFT28 touch screen on the Ender 3

Previously I made a guide on fitting a MKS Gen L mainboard to the Ender 3. In this guide, we fit a MKS TFT28 colour touch screen. Assuming you have already fitted the MKS Gen L, this means:
- Plug and play, no wiring
- No external power supply needed
- Onboard SD card/USB flash drive printing
- Bolts straight up to Ender 3 / 5, CR-10, Tevo Tornado.
- No firmware changes!

After the easy text file configuration, I show you how to use a custom boot screen and set up custom buttons to run gcode of your choice.

The process of updating the TFT28 is always the same:
1. Create folder with four sets of files (five if you are using the wifi module).
2. Copy onto SD card and insert into TFT28.
3. Reboot TFT28.

The TFT32 should work the same except bigger. My testing unity still hasn’t arrived. Expect follow up videos on this, using the wifi module and other great features.
