 ==== Power supply connection ====
-V DC is used to supply myCNC-ET control board. Power consumption depends on external peripherals you have connected to open collector outputs and +12V/+5V outputs. Normally power supply 24V/2A should be enough to power up the controlller based kit with single board computer and 15'6" TFT screen. However, step-down converters on the ET6 board have start current about 1.5A and 24V/1A power supply might be not enough to supply the single ET6 board.

 ==== ET6 control board firmware reflash ====
 {{hardware:et6:et6-reflash-001.jpg}}
+myCNC-ET6 reflashing procedure may take about 3 minutes.
+To reflash the board
+  - Plug 24V DC supply
+  - Plugin micro-USB cable to ET6 & Host Computer with myCNC software installed
+  - Close (short) jumpers J5(reset) & J6(programming) on myCNC control board
+  - Open (remove) J5 jumper.
+  - Open myCNC software on the Host computer,
+    - goto Configuration Tab ->  Support Tab
+    - Set "Select board" set to "myCNC-ET6"
+    - Select "Firmware version" from "Release", "Night build" or "Testing"
+    - Set *UART port* to port with FT232 attached
+    - Set *Baud Rate* set to "115200" for ET6; other baud rate can be selected in case of problems on 115200 speed {{hardware:et6:mycnc-et6-reflash-002.png}}
+  - Press "Update Firmware" button, Firmware download and reflashing process will be started.{{hardware:et6:mycnc-et6-reflash-003.png}}
+  - Sector 0 will be written at the end of process. After firmware process finished, a popup message will be shown. {{hardware:et6:mycnc-et6-reflash-004.png}}
+  - Remove all jumpers (J5, J6) and restart the board. To restart the board you need \\ either repower ET6 or \\ close Reset jumper (J5) for 1 second, then release it. The board will be restarted.
+In case reflashing process failed, you get a popup message. {{hardware:et6:mycnc-et6-reflash-005.png}} Please repeat procedure from #3
