Hello

does anybody knows how i can add a button to the lcd menu of the anycubic i3 mega?
I tried to enable the custom user menu

#define CUSTOM_USER_MENUS
#if ENABLED(CUSTOM_USER_MENUS)
  #define USER_SCRIPT_DONE "M117 User Script Done"
  #define USER_SCRIPT_AUDIBLE_FEEDBACK
  //#define USER_SCRIPT_RETURN  // Return to status screen after a script

  #define USER_DESC_1 "Do the trick"
  #define USER_GCODE_1 "G91\nG0 z5\nG0 y10"

but, if i enable it, i can't use the SD card, because the printer shows "no SD Card insert"

I need only a tab in the menu

Any cubic i3 mega uses a ANYCUBIC_LCD_I3MEGA LCD

This is serial smart touch screen / LCD. Marlin does not have the ability to change menus in this LCD. They are compiled in and and marlin say display menu X, of the built in menus

The only way to add menus is to edit the firmware on the LCD then add the code to Marlin.
