Re: LCD 12864 For RepRap.. aint working ?

I got the LCD working last night :D, Downloaded Marlin and something called U8glib, went and "defined" the motherboard to 35 (reading your new comment made me change this to 33 (just now)). Maybe this will fix my new problems :'D

Defined the reprap_discount_full_graphic_smart_controller..

The arduino "complier" didnt list any problems, it all worked okay screen working and all (fixed the LCD now the next problems emerge).


With the LCD i tried everything the LCD could do all its functions.. Some did not work proper it seems.. (Could be due too lack of me defining stuff ^^, will check guides etc on the new "problems" i got)

For one.. The motors did not want too rotate (tried too rotate them with the "Move axis" function under the menu tab "Prepare".. tried too move 10mm, 1mm and 0.1mm none of these worked... They tried but it was like they where "too weak" too even move a mm... (Could feel em trying too move).. Figure this might be due to alot of diffrent things? For one the motors are 2.5 amps and my stepper drivers got a max of 2 amps. (Some say it says 2 amps but can only give 1.2 amps) soo thats prolly it... (ima order some new steppers soon)..got the "A4988" steppers... if not this maybe there's some defining and settings ive missed.. (Will google this today and my goal for today is trying too get the motors too rotate! :D )


Another thing was.. i tried too set a "home offsets", it makes a weird beep and returns me too the "main screen".. Every time i try.. also the "Auto home" does nothing but that might be becouse i havent fixed the "home offsets".. I have no clue why i cant even set the "home offsets" this one bothers me.. (Will google the problem)..

One more thing i was botherd about but havent looked into yet.. I saved some random 3d printing files from thingiverse on the SD card.. the LCD could find the new folders and navigate trough em.. but didnt find any files at all.. (Saved .stv and one more file type i dont remember the name, but im pretty sure .stv should work..)..
(will google this)

*Edit* under the menu tab "Prepare" there's "Disable steppers" and "Switch power off" these two did nothing aswell.

Thanks for all your help :) /Patrik Sundén
