Issue:
As per title. The Ramps "Pre Flight Check" Code Works, But after uploading the Marlin firmware, my Steppers are just moving slightly for a fraction of a second, and then staying still.
What I did to create the issue:
Bought a Ramps & arduino kit
add my own steppers and motor
download the latest marlin from github
gone to configuration.h, and:
1) set Ramps as mobo
2) set my 100k therm

Update:
My wiring is correct...
The pins in the marlin I downloaded were defiantly wrong...
I can click, rotate and use the GLCD as normal, save for the only bug being that...
"If I rotate the encoder (in either direction) too slowly, the info screen appears with the words 'KILLED' in the status text area."
Could someone please help me remedy this?

hi did you find out what was wrong with the LCD. I have the same problem with LCD 12864
what firmware did you use and what did you change it to make work.
thank you.
Hi, the only lcd related issue was the flickering which still remains an issue for me.
I wonder if the pins are also wrong somewhere else in the code?
My version is whatwver one was live when I clicked on "Downloa

Hi, yes I downloaded it from the git on the same day as posting...
are you saying that the bug is because im using the latest source? should I use an older version?

Ok, I snooped around the Pins_ramps.h and found that the pins were wrong!
So, where as a previous version of Marlin was fine, these pin sections must have changed...
#ifdef REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER // Mine, Encoder Issue
#define BEEPER 37
#define BTN_EN1 51 // They were 31
#define BTN_EN2 41 // They were 33
#define BTN_ENC 35
#define SDCARDDETECT 49

Today, for the last hour.... I've been checking connections, and checking my pins, trying different comment/uncomments for different screens.....
Still nothing...
In my experiments, I found that turning the Encoder slowly causes the marlin firmware to return to the main screen (on the lcd) and for the status to read KILLED
again, the lcd also flickers slightly on each click-turn of the encoder.

Hi Gordon, I think I've got that lib installed, since I've previously compiled successfully, and I've had it working...
I just checked under the GUI, and I can see that U8Glib is present in the library....
Also, wouldn't missing library's cause an exception at build time, not run time?
Thanks though

I haven't touched my Arduino and ramps for a while, and coming back to it a few month later I've found that my rotary encoder now just makes the screen flicker on each step-turn. No menu movement.
The click activates the menu item, but I'm unable to navigate it.

Checking cables and hardware wiring.
Tried previous firmware: but couldn't compile due to error.

Hi Traumflung, thanks for your reply.
Yes, I'm sure there is a PostProcessor available.
There was one guy I was working with who began to help, but fell board half way through, leaving me with a half-finished version (Going to attach)
As you can see, there are two attachments; since he didn't know if my Marlin firmware supported "arcs".
Perhaps someone can modify these to work for my uses?

Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
As per title, I'm looking for a Postprocessor for SprutCam, that will output Gcode for the Printrbot 1405.
I know the Postprocessors are easy to make, but its not something I've looked in to yet, since I'm almost sure theres someone out there who has already done this.
The idea I have is to mount a Dremel on the nose of the printrbot, and using very slow feedrates, I hope to cut away some wood

After buying my 3D printer 3-4 months ago I created myself a solution to a home based problem, and decided to see if it would sell...
It did, and its starting to get out of control, and its all kinda exciting because I think I might just get rich if I play my cards right...
Now, to expand, I either buy an army of 3d printers, or consider moving to Injection Moulding.

I'm trying to find a way to connect my "Full Graphic Smart Controller Graphical LCD (128x64) Screen" to my Printrbot 1405, so I can control it via the rotary encoder, and use the SD Card of the Smart Controller, rather than the built in SD Card Reader.
I'm familiar with Firmware alteration, uploading it, etc, however I think someone has already covered this at some point, and I'm wondering if an

I use Autodesk Inventor 2015 Pro, and a Printrbot 1405 simple wood. I'd like to print out a new base that will enclose a Full Graphic LCD and a fan for the Printrboard.
Is there any way I can get the original model files, or convert what's available online, so that I can design my own part using the dimensions from the originals (screw alignment etc.)...?

I thought I'd let everyone know what I did.
I disabled G29...
Bought x4 long countersunk screws, x4 springs, then levelled the bed manually with G30
Issuing a g30 (in marlin) will probe the current position of the probe, and then report back the bed level in the same way g29 outputs to the console.
I used the 5 script options in Repetier Host Like below pseudo code to probe the bed

Hi there dc42, I think those pins are already in the correct place since I traced each pin from the ramps board so that I could just connect directly to the Arduino.
My theory being; If I can view the marlin firmware on the LCD, then I know my wires re in the right place as far as Marlin is concerned...
So If I knew which pins Marlin uses to talk to the LCD, then I'd know what to send to u8glib..

Waw, firstly, I’m so glad to see that my thread has attracted so much interest, and I’m glad to see that so many people are contributing, and only a very small percentage of the group has shown negativity.
I’ve not actually read some of the more recent posts prior to this, so I’m actually going to work through the messages and respond to each a bit at a time. Hopefully squeeze in some other conc

As long as your stepper drivers are rated for 2 amps and your motors are only 1 amp a piece then you will be fine. But if you go with larger steppers that draw higher amperage then you won't be able to run two of them off of one driver.
Likewise, if you want to get a higher grade stepper drivers, you can go with Pololu Black's. They are rated at 2.3 amps but require active cooling

Sure I can make documentation on how to modify different parts of the interface like welcome screen, main menu screen, logos (with bitmap code) and disable some features and also how to create new functions in the menus.
I would really love to have a chat about modifying the menu and main screen items...

It's ironic that people are asking me to read up on things, when it seems that some people are unable to read themselves.
Can somebody tell me exactly where I have asked what "shielded cable" is?
I do, however, recall asking for an example where shielded cable has been used on such a low-voltage setup.
I believe the chances of inductive interference, or potential crosstalk is minimal on a scale w

anybody know how to add an extra delay for the initial logo?
I noticed that the delay command isn't working quite right. I'm guessing that there may be a limit to how long you can delay for.

I am trying to get my custom image into the Marlin firmware. Its 110x64, and I want to get it to show up when the device boots.
The current image is 64x64 and I am able to change that by going to DOGMbitmaps.h and pasting in a new array of bytes under
const unsigned char start_bmp[] PROGMEM = {
However, if I feed in anything larger than 64x64, I get a garbled image when booting the firmware...

The loose component that you have is a Diode and its purpose is so the the Ramps board will deliver power to the Arduino underneath it (You will need to fit this into the board and solder it in if you want to go standalone printing without the PC Connected)
IIRC it is soldered in underneath the bottom left stepper driver that you have fitted to the board make sure you get it the r

Now I "think" the next step is to put power into it? I've got a spare generic 12V 6A adapter from my printrbot kit, I "think" this is the best option...
But I'm really hoping to find some confirmation online that I'm doing it all right...
