the 2004 is not a REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER, it is a 12864 LCD.
which I'm guessing is the problem.
you will need to find out which type you have.

no, now im not really sure. this display is a 2004 lcd smart controller. i uncommented the reprap one because the vendor had uncommented it also. heres is my configuration file if it helps. (the lcd part at least)

Ive just had a quick scan through the config.h

The "reprap discount smart controller" from what i can see of the definitions should be a 5 line display.
But your pictures seem to be of a 4 line display.

Are you sure youve picked the right display?

i have reprap discount smart controller uncommented and the lcd height and width under ulti panel and ultra lcd are both 4 and 20 respectively. is this what you mean? is there somewhere else where i can change the height and width?

Are you sure you havnt selected a 2 line display rather than a 4 line display?

reprap discount smart controller menu or height problem

catri — Wed, 29 Apr 2015 17:04:20 -0400

Hello! I have a reprap discount smart controller connect to ramps/mega on my prusa i3 and am having, what i think to be either a menu or lcd height problem.

when i turn on the lcd i only see the first 2 lines as in the pictures. i dont see the ready status or the other menu options. Even though i cant see past those lines, i think the other menu options are there because if i scroll down and click other options show. Also most of the time the screen in garbled if i click on those other "hidden" menu options.

i have tried uncommenting multiple combinations in the configuration file to no avail. now i have define ultra lcd and reprap discount smart controller uncommented.

Does anybody know what may be the problem? any insight is truly appreciated, Thank you! :)
