Have you installed the u8glib library into your arduino library? It is needed to run the lcd properly.

can you list your firmware code someone can help you.

here is a support page for smart controllers. [reprap.org]

Edit \arduino-0023\Marlin\Configuration.h

Edit line 58
#define MOTHERBOARD 33
Uncomment line 398, 399, 403
#define ULTRA_LCD //general lcd support, also 16x2
#define DOGLCD // Support for SPI LCD 128x64 (Controller ST7565R graphic Display Family)
#define ULTIMAKERCONTROLLER //as available from the ultimaker online store.
Modify line 532
# define DEFAULT_LCD_CONTRAST 80 // Contrast can be tweaked good values are 1...127

I installed u8glib
Josh_mp5 I did as you say, it gives me this error

In file included from ultralcd.cpp: 30:
dogm_lcd_implementation.h: 88: error: 'DOGLCD_CS' was Not Declared in this scope
dogm_lcd_implementation.h: 88: error: 'DOGLCD_A0' was Not Declared in this scope
I do not know what can be

What firmware are you using? I am using marlin and in the configuration.h file line 438 you need to remove the comment lines // for it to define the reprap discount smart controller. The line looks like this
#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER. The line will be gray and turn black when you un comment it. Thats what I did to get mine to work.

Hi, just recently purchase the same printer boards and did a lot of learning about changing the setup for the 128x64 LCD and now I have the same error codes 'DOGLCD_CS & AO' was not declared in this scope, what is the next step in adjustment?? my LCD still displays nothing :-(.

Any help would be much appreciated, for reference its the MEGA2560, RAMPS 1.4, LCD12864 with buzzer, stop, light and control button at the bottom of screen.
Im using Arduino 0023 with MARLIN and have all necessary files installed with correct boards selected on Configuration.h.

Cheers.

Hello,
To those of you who have bought (http://www.ebay.it/itm/SainSmart-Ramps-1-4-Mega2560-R3-LCD-12864-3D-Printer-Controller-For-RepRap-/221297131144?pt=DE_Computer_Sonstige&hash=item3386563e88), it appears the setup is easy as mentioned in the earlier posts, define ULTRA_LCD, DOGLCD, REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER and RA_CONTROL_PANEL. You also need to change display size to 128 x 64 compile and upload. If however you display still does not show anything try slowly rotating the 100K R1 on the rear on the display for contrast and watch display as you rotate it this may also fix your problem. Good luck to all.

Thank You very much!!! I also had just purchased similar parts from SainSmart and was surprised with the total lack of any documentation. Including any sort of settings needed for those parts. These settings got me up and running. Now for the mechanical work....
Thanks again for providing some of the documentation the vendor was negligent in providing.
