You're a legend! This video was uploaded 8 years ago, and today helped me. Scrooling thru menu was not working. But it is now thanks to you! I hope I'll have the pleasure to meet you one day in person!!! Thanknyou so much!
ITS AMAZING!!! This educational video actually contains information, a talking human AND+ AND+ AND NO MUSIC!!! I was so happy I almost teared up. Thank you for a wonderful job!
Quick update for those who wonder where the line from 4:20 went in newer Marlin versions: Conditionals_LCD.h is the file you want to look for the "if ENABLED (REPRAP_DISCOUNT.......)" for.
Thanks. I found it, but it seems little confusing to me, since I am a newbie to the whole programing thing and Your post is the only one mentionning this change I found so far. Sorry for potentially dumb question but there is that "delete // to enable" feature missing in here and I am not sure what to do right now. Many if lines there, Im not sure what to write or delete where to get it going. Thanks for help.
There is nothing you have to uncomment there. This direction was supposed to point you to the file where you can add those two extra lines of codes. ((all starting at code line #101)) The whole file is just listing settings for all the different brands of displays out there, telling the rest of the firmware how to handle your hardware. That's why we are adding the two lines of code there. The line you have to uncomment to use your RRDFG display can be found in the Configurations.h at line #1231.
Thanks again Tom, proud patron here. Invaluable info that I needed to set up my Mini RAMBo 1.3 with a large LCD screen! The 1.3 having the USB isolated and not powering the board threw me for a bit of a loop. Couldn't upload a thing with the Arduino IDE till I added 12 volts DC to the board! This fixed my encoder steps and allowed me to select the proper screen for my configuration file.
I just built my new Printrbot Simple last night and my friend that has far more experience with this than I do suggested the improvement in the video. I never thought it would be so cheap or simple. Thanks for the information, I'm looking forward to giving it a try!
The annoying feedback beep for the LCD controller that Tom mentions at 5:12 has been tamed to a short click sound, so you can keep the BEEPER pin enabled with the latest Marlin. To fix this in Marlin 1.0.0, just re-flash the firmware with LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_HZ set to 5000 and LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_DURATION_MS set to 2.
For those who are scratching their heads on the pins.h file, it appears that the pins.h file has been broken up into multiple files on recent builds. You are now looking for pins_RAMBO.h (if RAMBO is your control board) or look for the pins_YOURMAINBOARDHERE.h file. In my case it was pins_RAMPS.h for the RAMPS board.
For those who wonder about a black screen. There are different ribbon cables and matching connectors around. Some of them are rotated 180° !!! i.e. Exp1 stays Exp1 and Exp2 stays Exp2 BUT the pin 1-5 will instead connect to pin 6-10 and vice versa. I just reversed the orientation of the connector and could then use a discount full graphics display on a trigorilla board.
Finally got mine working. Don't edit config H in the Arduino do it in notepad ++ then upload the whole marlin program to the Arduino found this out after a couple of days of trying.
Forgive if already commented, but changing scroll direction was included in the Marlin build I’m using (REPRAPGURU v4) and can be flipped in the configuration H by uncommenting REVERSE MENU DIRECTION. Hope this helps someone.
At time mark 2:41 the back of the lcd is shown with the cables installed. I see that the red stripes are opposite of each other. My cables connect the same direction - Tom, is this why my lcd does not work??? I've been pulling out the little hair I have left over this. Your videos are great and so very helpful. Whenever I have a 3d printer problem, I turn to your videos first and almost always find the answer I need. Thank you!
Thanks for this explanation video, it helped me bring my LCD alive. I'm on Marlin 1.1.0-RC8 and few things changed, but I could find and correct the settings.
Does anyone know what to change in Repetier FW v.91 to reverse the encoder direction and increase its sensativity? Also, does the light button have a pin assignment or is it just on the LCD display? Thanks for the help.
Hi Thomas, Can you tell me if you have tried the MKS 12864 OLED on RAMPS or a Smoothie? I hear that the Smoothie has no driver for this OLED but what worries me about this controller (which would be perfect for my printer) is that that the Wiki says Repetier may not work if I install it on my board. Anyway, any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Samer
Hi tom. Im using lcd smart controller panel and i have a problem with the button. When i turn the knobi it enters menu, and when i clikc it trys to scroll.. even the reset button is not responding.. This happend after i updated the firmware. Im using arduino mega and simple prusa i3 Thanks in advance
Do you recommend using Octoprint? If I have a printer with an SD slot, Will using the SD improve the quality at all? I have heard using tethered lowers quality.
Just wondering for this SD card reader does it matter what type of SD card you use? Because I am about to finish building mine and was just wonder if there is any one that is required and if not can you recommend a good one to get?
Hello Tom, I followed your guide exactly and was very pleased to find that my LCD display worked! I then thought I would push my luck and plug in an AD card. The card was taken out of my other printer and plugged into the screen slot where it registers OK and the screen shows a "card inserted" message. However, when I select the next page on the display it still says "No SD Card" and I cannot find any of the files on the card. Am I missing something? The card works fine on my Anet printer. RH
I'm using this for my Fabrikator Mini. Is it possible to add under the "prepare" or "control" menu items, a way to retract the filament? Sorry - I haven't watched the whole video yet - apologies if it's in there.
Hi Tom, I will try to control my 3040 CNC using this controller, is it possible? Do you have some ideas on how to use that in a CNC? I want to convert the PWM output of the extruder to control the spindle rotation. Thanks
Great video, But one thing, when i insert the Sd Card into the Smart Full Graphics Controller i can see the Card is inserted but it doesn't show any files on the LCD, but when i insert it onto Computer it does show, why is it like that,??
Hi, i installed the lcd, the printer was working flawlessly until i did so, now it is printing horizontally instead of vertically, any ideas on what i need to do to correct this problem?
Thanks for very good videos! I recently purchased a Printrbot Simple Metal - waiting for it now by studying how to set it up from my CAD-programs. I learnt some stuff already! I´m running a Macbook Pro. I have 1 question - please, is it so that all I need now at first - is the STL-plugin/programs able to export to STL, the Slic3er and the Repetier Host Mac?
Above the "Mendel ready" icon is what appears to be an "FR 100%" I notice I can change this by turning the encoder on my smart controller lcd. What is FR? Sorry if this is a newbie question, I'm building my printer and haven't tried to print anything yet. Thank you!
For people using the new marlin firmware, To change the increments of the LCD controller (Adding "#define ENCODER_PULSES_PER_STEP 4 #define ENCODER_STEPS_PER_MENU_ITEM 1" ). This can be done in the Conditionals.h file. :)
Hi i am having a problem. I am using an ultimaker pcd and the large smart Lcd , but everything I change on the lcd doesn´t save on the eeprom. If I turn off , no data have been stored. I enable already the lines on the arduino firmware, but still the same. Can you help me?
Hi Tom, Thanks for your video, very helpful. However do not manage to crack it. My LCD turns on on start up, then the back light dimms a bit and it starts blinking. I have followed your steps. Any idea of what am I not doing right? Thanks in advance
Hay Tom is their a guide for setting up a re-arm+ramps1.6plus+tmc2130+full graphics display pannel. I'm currently trying to set this up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Tom! I have a question, I have the MKS TFT32 and want to have also my stock 20x4 LCD screen working. Despite disabling the secure check for only only one display I simply cant make it work... its either one display or the other. Thank you for the videos
@Thomas Sanladerer: I intend to upgrade my Prusa I3 from Ramps 1.4 to a Megatronix v3 and want to use the LCD controller as you so excellently describe here (thanx for that!). I cannot find a converter for the controller to the Megatronix board, however, nor a tutorial how to connect it if I don't have a converter. Do you know if this can be done and if so, push me a bit in the right direction? your help is much appreciated! regards, Arthur
Hey I installed the firmware correctly and the user interface is appearing on my screen but when i turn the knob nothing happens. I only have the stepper motors hooked up to it now could that be the issue?
Hi Tom great Videos just finishing off my printer after a year break using ramps 1.4 with lcd and marlin what pc software do you suggest for a beginner I use 2.5 drawing software and a post processor for my full size cnc mill but this is a bit different Thanks Andrew
hi tom well i have a problem with the rotatory switch its not jogging in either direction but as a button it works i can switch between menu and post screen, need help here
Hi Thomas... Great Videos, made setting up my Prusa (replacement for knackered Davinci) a bit more straightforward. I have installed the graphical display, but cannot fix the pulses per step and steps per menu item as the new Marlin (Dec 2015) doesn't seem to have the section your editing?? Any ideas as I don't like scrolling left to go down a list!
Hi Tom, I just got the RepRapDIscount LCD 12864 for my ROBO 3D R1+. I already did most of your updates, but I have spent way too much time looking through the Marlin firmware trying to figure out how to change the LCD display to show only 1 extruder instead of 3. Is their any way to remove the images/icons on the LCD screen for the 2nd and 3rd extruders?
My LCD (from Lulzbot) has two presets for temperature. One for PLA and one for ABS as in your video. Is it possible to add presets for other filament types and have them as options on the LCD controller?
Hi Tom great video , I've connected my arduino board to my ramps which has the LCD screen shown in this video. This was working before however no once i connect the two the LCD screen lights up for 5-6 seconds with no writing then it all turns off including the arduino. do you have any ideas as to why it would be happening? Thanks in advance
i have a robo 3d r1 plus and a full graphic controller non white pcb and cannot seem to get the sd card working iv'e tried multiple sd cards and still nothing it detects them being inserted and thats it. Any Suggestions
not sure what happened but when i changed the numbers to swap the direction of the encoder, the lcd lights up but there is no text. please help! +Thomas Sanladerer
Hallo, Hab mir jetzt gebraucht einen CL -260 mit einem Ramps 1.4 geholt und unter anderem Malin 1.1.1 schon drauf geflasht. Außer dass ich bis jetzt die X und Y Achsen (die Laufrichtung der Motoren) ändern musste bin ich eigentlich recht zufrieden. Aber die Eingabe von dem LCD Display (Drehrichtung des Eingabe Knopfes) ist meines achtens falsch. Gibt es da Möglichkeiten die zu ändern? Könntest du mir da helfen unter welchen Menüpunkt ich das ändern kann. Gruß Ralf.
hello i am using same LCD controller with ramps 1.4 there is no option in control menu for heat bed temp. settings.... info screen is also not showing any details about heat bed temp when i start print, bed heats up, but then print stops and screen displays "heating failed, print halted" i have changed the thermisters.. it is still happening
Hello Thomas all of your videos are very imformative ...thank you I have a question how do you enable filament swap option on a Rep Rap full graphics controller ?? I have uncommented #if ENABLED(ULTIPANEL) in Configuration advh does this this option show on the menu only if you are printing ?? Thanks for any help you can offer...stevep
Tom, first off GREAT VIDEOS! Thank you, my printrbot simple metal is printing fantastic thanks to your videos! Now my question, I have the 20x4 LCD working fine on my printrboard (revF). I also got the full graphic board but I can't get it to work. More specifically I can't successfully compile the source code for the full graphics LCD. I get overflow errors when compiling. Is the printrboard capable of running the full graphic LCD?
I keep getting this message Arduino: 1.6.11 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno" In file included from C:\Users\James\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp1_Marlin-RC.zip\Marlin-RC\Marlin\Marlin.ino:37:0: sketch\MarlinConfig.h:29:20: fatal error: fastio.h: No such file or directory #include "fastio.h" ^ compilation terminated. exit status 1 Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.
I am trying to add the RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller to my mk2s however after following many guids I can't even compile the Marlin, any suggestions or idea where I can get teh .hex file?
Clarification this new lcd does not work with a prusa mkll , the prusa file and marlin are not the same and the marlin has updated yet the prusa has not for newer large lcd .
had problems with 2gb card and all cards i have so i googled it and everywhere i found said that the lattest version of marlin has had problems and pronterface shuts off and displays an sd error
How can I add a touch screen to marlin, I have a 3d printer to get rid of and I can touch the screen and touch the screen very bad, I want to touch panel I need to check the printer through the panel please help
Hi Tom got a question for you I got a RepRap i3 with a gt2560 board running Marlin. I know it's easy to make a mistake with the led and sd card wire so help I killed the standard 2004 lcd screen by plugging the wrong leed in the right slot so I have bought a 12864 full graphics lcd screen to replace it and all it has is exp1 and exp2 and I don't want to mess up again on the screen which slot is the lcd and which is the sd card As I don't need the adapted board. Cheers
Hello Sir , I keep getting this message when trying to upload the firmware to my board ( exit status 1 'U8GLIB_DOGM128_2X' does not name a type ) help pls ?
i have made a 3d printer but facing some issue.i cannot home all axis.i m doing it manually by pausing the printer.and also i m not able to control prining speed from lcd display.i thing this might be from marlin.plz help me out
Hey Tom, thanks for your videos! I've got a problem I'm trying to solve with an MKSGen 1.4 board and a RepRapDiscount Smart Controller. It doesn't seem to work, as it seems is the case for many others. Apparently some have had success cutting off the header keys and putting the headers into the board backwards. Have you had any experience with this?
So it ended up being the case that the lcd headers were put on the MKS Gen 1.4 board backwards. Luckily this didn't destroy the lcd. (In case anyone else was wondering)
Tried to follow and I must have done things wrong. When I first plugged it in I got the blue screen. When I switched the plugs I got nothing. Placed them back and have blue screen. Screen stays blue and on. Downloaded the Arduino file, and another u8glib file and added them to the library and added them to the Marlin file. Nothing. After adding the Arduino file I have a page of errors! I did not have the drivers plugged in, just wanted the screen to work. I tried a github file for the monoprice mini but when I downloaded the Marlin file on that page it only gave you the one tab marlin. I can see why many new people to this give up as I am at a loss.
I am new to this I have a question m having issues with my controller board the board that came withmy prusawas broke so I bought anew one a geetech I hooked it up and all I get is black boxes I no nothing about the firmware can you guid me to get m prusaup and going please
did all you did but dont get any out put on the screen also try out the cable swaping part then get some blue screen whit small blocks on text on it do have config h file i can use standart marlin for ramps 1.4 board
Is it possible to dim the backlight via firmware or other way? I have a knockoff RepRap Discount LCD and it only has a contrast pot on the back. I'd like to sleep at night without having to disconnect it from Octoprint every time. Thanks for the video Thomas!
Seems like a hit and miss with these things. The one you linked to doesn't seem to have the jumper, according to the pictures. I guess I'll hack a switch on mine then. I appreciate the help, thanks!
Hi Thomas, your guides are great. Regarding the Full Graphics LCD, do you know how to pause a print or resume it when pausing with "pause at height" plugin? Thanks in advance, TG
***** Thanks for your quick reply, Thomas. But the case is that I don't have the option for pausing through the LCD. Therefore I can't resume it either (when pausing with "pause at z"). I've also tryed sending M commands via prontrface, but no luck.
Problem solved: if I print via SD card I have the pause/resume funtion. I'm used to print directly (USB) and thought it was possible to pause/resume that way. Thanks again.
Hi I´m using the Marlin Software with the full graphic display and a RAMPS1.4 Board. In PINS.H I cannot find it and the entries to swap the value. (The BTN.... values)

The annoying feedback beep for the LCD controller that Tom mentions at 5:12 has been tamed to a short click sound, so you can keep the BEEPER pin enabled with the latest Marlin. To fix this in Marlin 1.0.0, just re-flash the firmware with LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_HZ set to 5000 and LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_DURATION_MS set to 2.
Thanks Thomas. This is exactly what i was needing to fix the knob on my LCD.
Thank you a lot Thomas. Your guides help me a lot when I set up my first DYI printer.
For those who are scratching their heads on the pins.h file, it appears that the pins.h file has been broken up into multiple files on recent builds. You are now looking for pins_RAMBO.h (if RAMBO is your control board) or look for the pins_YOURMAINBOARDHERE.h file. In my case it was pins_RAMPS.h for the RAMPS board.
For RAMPS 1.4 and Arduino Mega users: The beeper's option is on line 606 -> #define BEEPER -1. Took me some time to find it... :)
For those who wonder about a black screen. There are different ribbon cables and matching connectors around. Some of them are rotated 180° !!! i.e. Exp1 stays Exp1 and Exp2 stays Exp2 BUT the pin 1-5 will instead connect to pin 6-10 and vice versa.

hello
i am using same LCD controller with ramps 1.4
there is no option in control menu for heat bed temp. settings....
info screen is also not showing any details about heat bed temp
when i start print, bed heats up, but then print stops and screen displays

I have the same as you the lsd and the motherboard the problem is that the usb input to the pc is broken what can i do

I hope you can tell me if this LCD screen will work on my Anet A8, all the push buttons are a pain.
Vielen dank man das hat sehr geholfen !! Thanks !!
Hi Thomas,
I followed your instructions but when loading the firmware I get the following errors. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Do all lcd screens come with the sd card reader?
Hello Thomas all of your videos are very imformative ...thank you
I have a question how do you enable filament swap option on a Rep Rap full graphics controller ??
I have uncommented #if ENABLED(ULTIPANEL) in Configuration advh
does this this option show on the menu only if you are printing ??
Thanks for any help you can offer...stevep
How do you know which side is pin 1 on the connectors used for the LCD?
3:45 the backlight is RGB cycling.. can the color of the backlight be set in the settings?
Tom, first off GREAT VIDEOS! Thank you, my printrbot simple metal is printing fantastic thanks to your videos! Now my question, I have the 20x4 LCD working fine on my printrboard (revF). I also got the full graphic board but I can't get it to work. More specifically I can't successfully compile the source code for the full graphics LCD. I get overflow errors when compiling. Is the printrboard capable of running the full graphic LCD?
how, could you tell what need to be choose to start printing? is it automatic process? I can't find guide about it on the yt,
I keep getting this message

I am trying to add the RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller to my mk2s however after following many guids I can't even compile the Marlin, any suggestions or idea where I can get teh .hex file?
Clarification this new lcd does not work with a prusa mkll , the prusa file and marlin are not the same and the marlin has updated yet the prusa has not for newer large lcd .
had problems with 2gb card and all cards i have so i googled it and everywhere i found said that the lattest version of marlin has had problems and pronterface shuts off and displays an sd error
How can I add a touch screen to marlin, I have a 3d printer to get rid of and I can touch the screen and touch the screen very bad, I want to touch panel I need to check the printer through the panel please help
Hi Tom got a question for you I got a RepRap i3 with a gt2560 board running Marlin.
I know it's easy to make a mistake with the led and sd card wire so help
I killed the standard 2004 lcd screen by plugging the wrong leed in the right slot so I have bought a 12864 full graphics lcd screen to replace it and all it has is exp1 and exp2 and I don't want to mess up again on the screen which slot is the lcd and which is the sd card
As I don't need the adapted board.
Cheers
Hello Sir , I keep getting this message when trying to upload the firmware to my board ( exit status 1
'U8GLIB_DOGM128_2X' does not name a type ) help pls ?
i have made a 3d printer but facing some issue.i cannot home all axis.i m doing it manually by pausing the printer.and also i m not able to control prining speed from lcd display.i thing this might be from marlin.plz help me out
Hi ,Super video,
I'm buy a new MSK GenV1.4 ,
What do I have to do first?
My old board is in the printer , may i can copie the setup ??? MFG
This doesn't seem to give me SD support...
Can i resume my print if power cut happens from this mirlin firmware using display attached to it.
Hey Tom, thanks for your videos! I've got a problem I'm trying to solve with an MKSGen 1.4 board and a RepRapDiscount Smart Controller. It doesn't seem to work, as it seems is the case for many others. Apparently some have had success cutting off the header keys and putting the headers into the board backwards. Have you had any experience with this?
So it ended up being the case that the lcd headers were put on the MKS Gen 1.4 board backwards. Luckily this didn't destroy the lcd. (In case anyone else was wondering)
do you now how to enable larger SD cards with Fat32 File system?. I have 16gb sdhc cards and sometimes it cannot read the cards.
Got a new control board but after wiring it up the lcd screen is in Chinese. How can I get it back in English?
Tried to follow and I must have done things wrong. When I first plugged it in I got the blue screen. When I switched the plugs I got nothing. Placed them back and have blue screen. Screen stays blue and on. Downloaded the Arduino file, and another u8glib file and added them to the library and added them to the Marlin file. Nothing. After adding the Arduino file I have a page of errors! I did not have the drivers plugged in, just wanted the screen to work. I tried a github file for the monoprice mini but when I downloaded the Marlin file on that page it only gave you the one tab marlin. I can see why many new people to this give up as I am at a loss.
I am new to this I have a question m having issues with my controller board the board that came withmy prusawas broke so I bought anew one a geetech I hooked it up and all I get is black boxes I no nothing about the firmware can you guid me to get m prusaup and going please
My reprap discount graphical lcd wont display anything even with new firmware and a few wires being swapped
did all you did but dont get any out put on the screen also try out the cable swaping part then get some blue screen whit small blocks on text on it
do have config h file i can use standart marlin for ramps 1.4 board
Is it possible to dim the backlight via firmware or other way? I have a knockoff RepRap Discount LCD and it only has a contrast pot on the back. I'd like to sleep at night without having to disconnect it from Octoprint every time. Thanks for the video Thomas!
Seems like a hit and miss with these things. The one you linked to doesn't seem to have the jumper, according to the pictures. I guess I'll hack a switch on mine then.
I appreciate the help, thanks!
Hi Thomas, your guides are great.
Regarding the Full Graphics LCD, do you know how to pause a print or resume it when pausing with "pause at height" plugin? Thanks in advance, TG
***** Thanks for your quick reply, Thomas. But the case is that I don't have the option for pausing through the LCD. Therefore I can't resume it either (when pausing with "pause at z"). I've also tryed sending M commands via prontrface, but no luck.
Problem solved: if I print via SD card I have the pause/resume funtion. I'm used to print directly (USB) and thought it was possible to pause/resume that way. Thanks again.
Hi
I´m using the Marlin Software with the full graphic display and a RAMPS1.4 Board.
In PINS.H I cannot find it and the entries to swap the value. (The BTN.... values)
Thank you so much!
what changes do i need to make in marlin so that i can see my name on the smart controller, for every time i turn on my printer.. ??
plz help
