# How to install vscode and platformio for compile
- Install the compilation environment, We recommend vscode + platformio. If you have already installed it, please skip this step.  If not, please see [here](https://github.com/bigtreetech/Document/blob/master/How%20to%20install%20VScode+Platformio.md).
# how to compile firmware

- Please see the picture(①), which is the PlatformIO plugin, and then click ② Open Project to open the project.

- After opening the project, go to the platformio.ini file and change the default environment .
the “env_default” can be “BIGTREE_TFT35_V1_2”, “BIGTREE_TFT35_V1_1”, and “BIGTREE_TFT35_V1_0”
it depends on your hardware.

- After the compilation is successful, a BIQU_TFT35_V1.x.x.bin file will be generated in the .pioenvs\BIGTREE_TFT35_V1_x directory. We need copy this file to the SD card, and insert this SD Card to TFT35 Touch Screen, then reset the Touch Screen,  the firmware will be updated automatically.

> #define FAN_NUM      1    //set in 1~6

to config hotend, extruder, fan number
# how to update firmware
copy firmware(.bin), fonts(TFT24/font) and icons(TFT24/bmp) to SD Card root directory, insert SD card to touch screen, reset touch screen and then it will be updated automatically.

- the **.bin** file is the firmware of BIGTREETECH TFT24, this file needs to be updated every time for update function
- the **TFT24** folder contains the icons and fonts, if you want to customize them, see [here](https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware/tree/master/readme/English) and update the folder by SD Card
  - icons: BMP format, 24/32 bit depth  (don't need update every time)
