Hello

Have you enabled it in the firmware before up loading the firmware?

I think you need to remove the # on the opproate line to enable it.

i dont think that you know what you are talking about...! so you suggest that i put in "define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER" on line 560 intered of "#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER"

Greywolf seems very confused...


If they start with //#define they are disabled
if they start with #define they are enabled

define on its own will just stop it compiling.

Greywolf was sorta on the right track
ATM you have the standard 20x4 alpha numeric display enabled in the config.h file as

#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER

// The GADGETS3D G3D LCD/SD Controller (blue PCcool smiley

// ==> REMEMBER TO INSTALL U8glib to your ARDUINO library folder: [code.google.com]

replace the above with

#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

and you will need to install the u8glib folder
