Plug in ethernet and power, turn on
Sonic pad immediately downloaded 2 new firmwares
Selected Ender-3 V3 SE and wrote new firmware to microSDHC;
did NOT flash the printer...
Sonic obviously used ethernet to download new code,
but would not admit IP address
connected via Wi-Fi as 192.168.1.120:8819
problematic instructions
- since not instructed otherwise, left original panel attached
  when inserting SDHC card for new firmware
- Instructions directed USB-C; not really for Ender-3 V3 SE...
- Original SE panel beeped horribly.. further instructions failed
- tried again with another SDHC; same results
- tried with panel removed, misfingered touch screen
- tried again, plugging serial cable to Sonic,
  then unplugging and replugging..
- communication established, whew!
started calibration.. I loathe that touch screen.
After printer setup, Wired Network is reported 192.168.1.40
attempting to disable Wi-Fi still reports connected, wtf...
Reviewing bed heightmap on PC shows warp
with upper left highest, upper right lowest,
then fron left and right roughly equal.
IMO, web UI is hot garbage. Cannot find printer controls.

Nearly every review mentions intuitive,
evidently new-speak for undocumented...
