    1) the robin has it's own propriatary 3.5 touch screen that connects with a ribbon cable. If you use this screen - great screen. Then the wifi module plugs into the board itself.
    2) My module is connected and FULLY working - as is my 3.5 tft touchscreen.

    3) when you connect to the router (which is what it basically is) this is the screen you get:


    And that's ALL you get.

    So what I need is a 'website' or 'webview' html to upload to the router to actually make it useful.

    IT IS CONNECTED AND WORKING (lol)

    I just have no idea how to do anything useful with it.

    I just can't find any literature on what you have to do next.
    I do know that with the mini delta (malyan setup) you could change the webview by uploading html and that would give you a better interface.

    I don't want to have to go thorugh a raspberry pi.

    There really should bhe a way to just upload a file to the sdcard via the network.

    4) I do not need any other hardware, the screen is great thje wifi and networking are WORKING.

    So if you could step away from the 'must upgrade' impulse and have a think about what you do when you get to the point where it actually works. That would be great :-)

    This is the module I have:


    As far as I can tell it's the latest version.

    There are thousands of posts telling you how to connect the bloody thing. But absolutely nothing I can find that tells you what to do afterwards.

    Oh yeah if i connect directly to the wifi network the module generates (use my phone) I get EXACTLY the same green screen.

    Oh yeah - there is a phone app: mks cloud app.
    You have to sideload it - BUT it is in CHINESE ONLY :-(
    And i have to admit my written mandarin is a little sketchy.
    I hope I'm wrong but I think that page is only for uploading new firmware and that very html page you are looking at. That's the only function for it. I have a touchscreen with Wifi and have that same view, I didn't have enough interest to see if that's actually all it is so the screen is now unused as I use Octoprint.

    Edit: well I went and did a search, turns out there's more to the wifi afterall: https://youtu.be/f651bIg4SCo?t=514. Apparently you can connect to the wifi using Pronterface and control the printer.
