Re: Update LCD for Graphic LCD with layer number and time remaining - 9 years ago
Update : I have found that the code I have that updates the Layer number and time remaining is in the file dogm_lcd_implementation.h, in the function : lcd_implementation_status_screen The display message portion of the code looks like this : sprintf (LCDline1, "Reading SD Card .."); u8g.setPrintPos(2,37); u8g.print(LCDline1); Is it possible that I am writing this code in the wrong function,by DaveOB - General
Update LCD for Graphic LCD with layer number and time remaining - 9 years ago
I have been modifying my Marlin code as I find the XYZ detail on the Graphical LCD meaningless for my use. I much prefer to have the display show the Layer count and the Estimated Time Remaining for the print. For example : L004/076 e01:12 -- indicates that the printer is busy with Layer 4 of a total 76 layers, and estimated time remaining is 1 hour, 12 minutes. So far I have this working reaby DaveOB - General
Re: Marin version Graphic LCD change filament - 9 years ago
Quoteo_lampe Works well, if you don´t move the extruder by hand while you change filament. Thanks Olaf OK, so because I will almost certainly move the head when changing the filament, the print is destined to fail. As a solution, would it be safe to add code to the 'resume' function so that it activates a Home for X and Y axis before resuming the print ? If so, have I correctly identified theby DaveOB - General
Marin version Graphic LCD change filament - 9 years ago
Not wanting to 'fix' something that isn't broken, but would like to understand this : question 1 : how do I identify what version of the Marlin firmware I have. I do have the arduino sketch that is loaded on my Arduino at the moment, but do not know if it is the latest version of the Marlin firmware that is available online. How would I check ? Is there a version number in the code somewhere ?by DaveOB - General
Re: Graphic LCD - show layer number - 9 years ago
Quotethetazzbot There is a function that is called whenever a G1 and G0 gcode is received and the parameters include axis and mm. You can create a global var and each time that z changes you increase it and this is a layer counter. Problem is if you use autobed level then Z is always changing. There is also a function for lcd display of text. Many Thanks. That is what I am looking for. Any chby DaveOB - General
Graphic LCD - show layer number - 9 years ago
Hi all New to 3D print ( 1 week now ) but a little experience with Arduino. Just assembled a kit ( Prusa i3 ) and really loving this new 'toy'. Have the RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller connected to the Arduino and display is good. But can not find anything online about adding the layer number to the display. I understand that the Marlin firmware can't know the total number of laby DaveOB - General
