HI paboman

You got it right
SCK and MOSI from AUX_3 have to be connected to both EXP_1 & EXP_2
You need to make this 1 to 2 pins connections

Adding same diagram with connection lines
Hope it helpes

many thanks for your connection diagram.
I have one question: do I have to connect SCK from aux 3 of the azsmz to both SCK pins in EXP 1 and EXP2 ?
I understand that I need to make this 1 to 2 pins connection also for MOSI, is that correct ?

right now the panel is working and recognize the SD card but cant get the files to be listed.

Hi all

I've recently purchased AZSMZ mini and for some reason original display didn't work so i hooked up RRD GLCD.

Eventually it worked but was little bit tricky because i had to make my own cable.
Thanks to 3DFreezeMe for his connection table and config.

I`m adding my connection scheme. ( pay attention that same MOSI and SCK are connected to both EXT1 and EXT2)

Both LCD and external SD card are working

And my config is:

# LCD Panel
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
panel.enable true # set to true to enable the panel code
panel.lcd reprap_discount_glcd
panel.spi_channel 0 # spi channel to use ; GLCD EXP1 Pins 3,5 (MOSI, SCLK)
panel.spi_cs_pin SSEL1 # spi chip select ; GLCD EXP1 Pin 4
panel.encoder_a_pin 0.3!^ # encoder pin ; GLCD EXP2 Pin 3
panel.encoder_b_pin 0.2!^ # encoder pin ; GLCD EXP2 Pin 5
panel.click_button_pin 3.26!^
panel.buzz_pin 2.6

# SD
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
panel.external_sd true # set to true if there is an extrernal sdcard on the panel
panel.external_sd.spi_channel 0 # set spi channel the sdcard is on
panel.external_sd.spi_cs_pin 1.31 # set spi chip select for the sdcard
panel.external_sd.sdcd_pin 3.25!^ # sd detect signal (set to nc if no sdcard detect)

Hi, can you explain how to read the pdf for wiring, thanks

3DFreezeMe
I have put some time into sorting out the pinouts of the connectors of the RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller LCD panel.
This lcd panel is called 'reprap_discount_glcd' for the 'panel.lcd' option in the config.txt file.

I had one laying around and did not want to buy the AZSMZ mini lcd controller yet. The pint outs of the reprap_discount_glcd are not compatible with the AZSMZ mini board connectors, so you need to make the correct connections yourself.

To help others with the same task ahead, I have created a table to make the correct wire connections and assign the correct pins to the SmoothieWare firmware config.txt file.
The external SD card reader I have not tried to connect yet, the connections for this are thus missing in the pdf.
I have also read there are some issues with that specific combination (SPI channel conflict) and will use the internal micro SD card reader on the board for now.

The lines I have in my config.txt for this lcd panel, which work correct for me:

# Panel See [smoothieware.org]
panel.enable                                 true              # set to true to enable the panel code

# Example for reprap discount GLCD

# +5v is EXP1 pin 10, Gnd is EXP1 pin 9

Hi,
i have connected the geetech 12864 lcd to the azsmz mini, already rotated the connectors by 180° to match the panel V+ and GND.
tried you config and many other options but still cant get anything to show on the display. The buzz and backlight works. Can you guide to get this working ?
many thanks!

Has anyone tried the last available firmware ?
[github.com]

My azsmz board hangs when try to enter the "configuration" menu using the LCD, the leds just stops flashing.

If i flash back to smoothieware version 14 oct 2016 it works just fine.

I want to use the last firmware because the sensor SEMITEC 104NT-4 is added as supported temp sensor.

any ideas?

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

Bahrt — Sat, 20 Aug 2016 02:27:44 -0400

Skimmey - Spot on!

Your firmware version did it - both outputs can work with PWM now. A little disappointing though, that Mr. Rose Fish will sell his boards with incomplete firmware... This is my first experience with the AZSMZ mini and the Smoothieware, so surprises like that is time consuming. Besides the firmware flaw, I am quite satisfied with the board – small form factor and great price/performance level.

Thanks a lot for saving me here :)

Nice Dice, btw.

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

Skimmy — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 16:31:24 -0400

It works on my 2 boards.

I have the fan connected to D09 / pin 2.7

the part of the code is this:


###===============================###
### Switch module for fan control ###
###===============================###

switch.fan.enable              true #
switch.fan.input_on_command    M106 #
switch.fan.input_off_command   M107 #
switch.fan.output_pin          2.7  # 0.26 is fanpin on AZSMZ board ver 2.1; D09 = 2.7
switch.fan.output_type         pwm  # pwm output settable with S parameter in the input_on_comand
switch.fan.max_pwm             255  # set max pwm for the pin default is 255

I can control the fan via

M106 Sxxx

and M106 S0 is the command to shut it of. My host (octoprint) doesn't use M107.

I also use the firmware of date: 10. may 2016

You can see my config, firmware.bin and a small readme that I wrote in my public dropbox-folder at: [www.dropbox.com] in the sub-folder "firmware". I got pretty "intimate" with the board and smoothieware because of my build of the DICE and because I needed to explain every detail about the config... so feel free to ask.

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

I am running the AZSMZ mini 2015.7.22 ver 2.1 - sourced here: [www.aliexpress.com]

I have purchased 3 pieces and the issue applies to all three boards.

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

Bahrt — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 14:37:37 -0400

Can anyone please confirm that the 'switch module for fan control' are able to voltage/speed regulate output 'pin 0.26 - fan1' or 'pin 2.7 - D9', when assigned for pwm?

No matter if I do this -

# Switch module for layer cooling fan control (fan1 - pwm)
switch.fan1.enable true # enable this module
switch.fan1.input_on_command M106 # Calling this command sets the switch ON
switch.fan1.input_off_command M107 # Calling this command sets the switch OFF
switch.fan1.output_pin 0.26 # if fan to D9 set 2.7 or fan1 set 0.26
switch.fan1.output_type pwm # pwm output settable with S parameter in the input_on_command
switch.fan1.max_pwm 255 # set max pwm for the pin default is 255

... Or this -

# Switch module for layer cooling fan control (D9 - pwm)
switch.fan1.enable true # enable this module
switch.fan1.input_on_command M106 # Calling this command sets the switch ON
switch.fan1.input_off_command M107 # Calling this command sets the switch OFF
switch.fan1.output_pin 2.7 # if fan to D9 set 2.7 or fan1 set 0.26
switch.fan1.output_type pwm # pwm output settable with S parameter in the input_on_command
switch.fan1.max_pwm 255 # set max pwm for the pin default is 255

... I can only apply voltage to the outputs if I set them for full speed - M106 S255 - every pwm value below 255 will not give me any voltage on any of the two outputs... I can ‘zero’ the output using the M106 S0 command. I can also assign the switch modules for digital operation and then on/off control my fan.

My layer fan will run (full speed) with the following G-code (Switching to 100% layer fan speed) -

G1 X-23.712 Y-20.206 F672
G1 X-24.622 Y-19.474 F672
; layer 2, Z = 0.4
M106 S255
; tool H0.200 W0.500
; inner perimeter
; inner perimeter
G1 X-24.738 Y-19.997 F7200
G1 Z0.400 F300
G92 E0
G1 X-23.974 Y-20.605 E0.0414 F960

… But will not run at all, with the following G-code (Switching to 80% layer fan speed) -

G1 X-23.712 Y-20.206 F672
G1 X-24.622 Y-19.474 F672
; layer 2, Z = 0.4
M106 S204
; tool H0.200 W0.500
; inner perimeter
; inner perimeter
G1 X-24.738 Y-19.997 F7200
G1 Z0.400 F300
G92 E0
G1 X-23.974 Y-20.605 E0.0414 F960

I really hope I miss something here…

Hi,

I have almost got my board working, the only problem I have now is the probe, Im using one of those inductive probes and whenever I run the G32 command, the axis all home ok, but when going to actually do the probing the whole board powers off and I have to press the reset button a few times to get it to come back on and power up?

Any ideas?

Worked it out.. It was the alpha_min setting in smoothieware that was triggering

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

cxandy — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 18:57:59 -0400

What type of the probe? if powers off, maybe too much current.

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

Skimmy — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:51:00 -0500

baaaahhh.....

I am so stupd 8-)

It works. The reason for 3.8V was: I had the powersupply off and board was sourced by USB X(

So, shame on me :D

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

Skimmy — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:47:16 -0500

yeah, i tried both. digital and pwm. Results are the same, both switch to 3,8V.

Reason there is "digital" in my post above, because I changed it to testing purposes...

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

paboman — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:41:50 -0500

you have to set switch.fan.output_type from digital to pwm

Re: AZSMZ mini + LCD

Skimmy — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:13:02 -0500

So, status-update...

Google: still no better answers :(

But found an swedish 3d-printing-onlineshop with a preview thumb of the needed schematic and asked via contact-form on the page...

Used ~~default config from xcandy~~ added this code:

#Switch module for fan control
#------------------------------------
switch.fan.enable              true #
switch.fan.input_on_command    M106 #
switch.fan.input_off_command   M107 #
switch.fan.output_pin          0.26 # pin on board ver 2.1
switch.fan.output_type         digital  # pwm output settable with S parameter in the input_on_comand
switch.fan.max_pwm             255  # set max pwm for the pin default is 255

to my config, and now I can switch the pin with M106 / M107 commnd, BUT only toggle between 0V or 3,8V! No PWM and no higher voltage :(

So, one more info, to maybe help with this issue:

[attachment 72682 IMG_0902.jpg]

These 3 Pins, with a small mosFET right beside them. I think, this mosFET should be able to trigger the fan-pin... Maybe I have a wrong pin-declaration?

It should work because I encountered this issue in one board only. The strange thing is that you are controlling D09 instead. Double check your config

Ciao

I tripple-checked :D even with the original config it is the same behaviour :(

I need the actual schematic, all I can find is V2.0.1, but I need the schematic of V2.1 :( Best result I could google:

AZSMZ_2.1-500x500.png

But in this pic I cannot identify enough... :(

I have the same issue. I wrote a PM to xcandy, maybe he can give some information about getting this to work (tu)

Also, if I toggle pin 0.26 via M42 or M43 Gcode-commands, instead D09 is switched on or off :D

M42 P0.26 S255; <- D09 goes on
M42 P0.26 S0; <- D09 goes off

Pin 3 in your image is P0.26 (printed on the back of the board)

Pin 2 in your image is Vcc (printed on the back of the board)

Pin 1 in your image is Gnd (printed on the back of the board)

My config file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Switch module for fan control

switch.fan.enable true #
switch.fan.input_on_command M106 #
switch.fan.input_off_command M107 #
switch.fan.output_pin 0.26 # pin on board ver 2.1
switch.fan.output_type pwm # pwm output settable with S parameter in the input_on_comand
switch.fan.max_pwm 255 # set max pwm for the pin default is 255
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after boot:
pin 3 and pin 2 = 24 v
pin 3 and pin 1 = 0 v
pin 2 and pin 1 = 24 v

after issuing M106 FAN icon appear on the LCD
pin 3 and pin 2 = 24 v
pin 3 and pin 1 = 0 v
pin 2 and pin 1 = 24 v

after issuing M107 FAN icon disappear on the LCD
pin 3 and pin 2 = 24 v
pin 3 and pin 1 = 0 v
pin 2 and pin 1 = 24 v

I have 2 AZMSZ boards and they behave the same.
please help
thx
