RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working
December 05, 2015 11:28AM
I plugged in a Graphic Smart Controller, and the screen lights up, but stays blank. The click encoder and speaker work (it beeps when I click the encoder), and the kill button stops the printer as expected. Also, the SD slot lists files correctly in Repetier host. I've tried:
  • Installing UG8LIB
  • Uncommenting #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
  • #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_RAMPS_13_EFB and #define MOTHERBOARD 33

Here is my Configuration.h (Marlin rc2. Note that the LCD doesn't work in Marlin release V1 either):

 * Thermal Runaway Protection protects your printer from damage and fire if a

 *
 * The issue: If a thermistor falls out or a temperature sensor fails,
 * Marlin can no longer sense the actual temperature. Since a disconnected
 * thermistor reads as a low temperature, the firmware will keep the heater on.
 *
 * The solution: Once the temperature reaches the target, start observing.
 * If the temperature stays too far below the target (hysteresis) for too long,
 * the firmware will halt as a safety precaution.

I just bought one of these and it had a couple broken traces. I've also heard of bad solder joints and ribbon cables with these. The contrast knob on mine is kind of touchy as well. I would get a RAMPS pinout and schematic for the LCD and check continuity on everything. Once I got it going, it's great. smiling smiley I messed with the firmware for 2 days before I noticed the traces.

Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working
December 19, 2015 01:24PM
Yeah, I think there's an electrical problem. There were a few places where the continuity didn't match the diagram, and I can't access many the traces because my lcd is soldered on.
Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working

Check the following:

RAMPS D16 to LCDRS on LCD (pin 4)
RAMPS D17 to RW on LCD (pin 5)
RAMPS D23 to E on LCD (pin 6)

Check for 5V between pins 1 & 2 on LCD
Check from A+ on LCD (pin 19) to GND while adjusting contrast potentiometer. Verify range from ~0 - 5V.

Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working

D16 goes to pin 4
D23 goes to pin 6
D17 goes to pin 5

I tried reversing the two in firmware but it still didn't display anything. Should I try with an older version of arduino (I'm currently on 1.6.7)?

1-2 has 5V
19 goes from 0V to about 3.3V

Edit: Neither 1.6.0 nor 1.0.6 helps either. I updated to RC3 but that still didn't help.

I tested all the other pins, and they are how they're supposed to be.
The arduino is fine, so now I'm testing the ramps board.

Ok, I'm beat.
I tested continuity on all pins that connect to GLCD1 (on the RAMPS and on the smart controller) (they are as they are supposed to be. I double checked and 17 is supposed to go to pin 5.)
All the outputs on the arduino work.
Nothing shorts to ground or 5v.
I tested practically every possible change in firmware.

How are you powering the 5V for your RAMPS? Also, when you were checking the lcd you checked it on the front, under the panel itself?

I have exactly, and I mean *EXACTLY* the same issues. I have gone through and checked all continuity, voltage is good, current good. But.... alas, there is nothing on the display other than the pretty blue light. Doesn't matter what I have tried in the firmware, all ever does is is light up, allow SD and the piezo to chirp when you press the rotary switch.

I have noticed that the pots on the front (its a red PCB, RRD FGSC, chinese clone) does sweet f/a. Nothing. Zip. Nada. I have even tried the 470R resister on the back like suggested in others situations. But still, to no avail. So maybe it is working, but the contrast cannot be changed, so I cannot see it? I don't know. Maybe. Not being able to change the contrast isn't helping. There is no other pot on the device, not under the screen itself, I've had a look. All traces seem fine. No solder overflow onto the traces or other contact points. Just the blank stare from the unit itself. I know the rest of the machine is good. I've had successful prints out of the unit via laptop, but cannot get the good for nothing FGSC to play ball!

I too am at a complete loss as to what exactly is going on.

Looks almost the same as mine, except your pins are labeled and the Website URL is a bit different. Probably from the same Chinese knockoff manufacturer with ...questionable QC.
Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working
January 06, 2016 02:49PM
One minor step in the right direction. I followed the instructions at the bottom of this page, [www.smw3d.com] - specifically the part about the pot (already had the through pin it speaks about in there). So I removed the 470R I had put up on those holes, removed the original POT, and replaced it. Now I can at least change the contrast... On my blank display... Which, is still, you guessed it. Blank. Although now I can change the contrast of that blankness.

*sigh*
Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working
January 06, 2016 03:46PM
I should mention I have tried this in V1.1 RC3, and V1.0.x

V1.0.x does make the piezo louder... but, that is all.
Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working
January 06, 2016 06:07PM
Got it working. Bloody thing. Turns out the FGSC is GTG after all! However the supplied cables are poop. Somehow I could get good continuity (tested with a recently calibrated Fluke 189) through them but I suspect that they had a break or a loose pin on the connector or something like that. I replaced them with some I made myself and bingo. Lights up and has data displayed.
Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working
January 06, 2016 06:27PM
I got continuity on both cables. I'll see how using a different cable works though. My contrast potentiometer goes from 0 to 2.5Kohm. Is that normal for the LCD?
Re: RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller not working

Are you sure you have a 1.3 ramps board and not a 1.4

and

// #define DISPLAY_CHARSET_HD44780_JAPAN // this is the most common hardware
#define DISPLAY_CHARSET_HD44780_WESTERN
//#define DISPLAY_CHARSET_HD44780_CYRILLIC

I have the JAPAN charset defined where you have the Western

Might be worth changing these parts and giving it a go since you have obviously tried almost everything else

If need be i can post my h file

Many thanks

Dave

dmelcer9,

Any progress? I know its bloody agitating when one solution for one, doesn't work for you, despite the similar symptoms - did you get a replacement?

Any luck with different cables? I used a break out cable/jumper cable solution to pinpoint the issue for me.

But maybe it is a bad unit after all...?

On some of these there is a pot on the back of the screen itself look Inbetween the screen and board. It's almost impossible to get to tweezers or small needle nose pliers, some have added a resistor. There is another thread on here with more details

My two PCB's were touching and shorting out sometimes. Gently pried them apart and inserted some kapton tape in between. Any non conductive sheet (OH film) should work.
This eliminated my issues with the RDFGSC.

Good luck! thumbs up
