Hi !

I try to put Marlin 2.0 on my Re-arm+RAMPS1.6 board with a RepRapDiscount Smart Controller.
I attached this as described here:
[panucattdevices.freshdesk.com]
And I get that ...

All pins were checked twice, I don't know how to fix this...

Any Idea ?

Most probable case is electrical interference.
Make sure the LCD cables are well away from any high voltage cables (heaters, stepper drivers, power)
preferable also use shielded cables.

failing that, add the following to your configuration.h

#define ST7920_DELAY_1 DELAY_NS(125)
#define ST7920_DELAY_2 DELAY_NS(125)
#define ST7920_DELAY_3 DELAY_NS(125)

and increase the delays till it works...

I try several value but the issue is the same.
I don't think it's electrical interference issue cause only the board+screen are powered on my desk.
Some says It's a SPI problem...

Looking through the marlin 2.0 code for a LPC1768 chip (ie used in smoothie and rearm)

it suggests

#define ST7920_DELAY_1 DELAY_NS(600)
#define ST7920_DELAY_2 DELAY_NS(750)
#define ST7920_DELAY_3 DELAY_NS(750)

Yes I've seen this too but...no way :-(

I'm so upset for now :-(

After a week of hard trying, configuration and other crying, I finally resolder all pins on Re-arm and Ramps plus Re-arm CPU with a hot-gun and then...perfect !
Thanks a lot for your help !

Can you clarify what you mean by re-soldered?

Which ones do you think were the culprit?

I ran into the same problem and I am confused why there are pictures of a full graphic display and not the discount smart controller from the title. What connections did you need for the controller to work? I followed chris's basement's guide and I cannot get the SD card reader to work. [www.youtube.com]
