AVG isn't going to keep you safe from the problem that this error is reporting, namely that part of what is supposed to be an encrypted transmission is traveling over the wire in plain text for all to see!!!!!

I have to power cycle the printer repeatedly to get the LCD panel to come up correctly. Never had this problem when I used the panel on other controllers.
While I do not remember off-hand, I know there is an easy fix to this. Maybe do a search in the forums for it.
The only time that I've seen problems with a GLCD refusing to start up or displaying gibberish was whe

Frankly, I am amazed by the number of folks who are willing to kludge something together to utilize a clearly defective part . . . rather than sending a clear message that you will not accept junk, such that the vendor will provide non-defective parts.
I'm amazed that people do business with Folger at all, with the way that they have offloaded their tech support operation by tel

One of the things vreihen suggested was to get the Phorum people to host it. That would imply a move, rather than an upgrade, which would mean that DNS would have to change.
The issue is getting people who have the time to admin the setup. The current people are time-poor, going by everything mentioned in this thread, which does make the idea of having the Phorum people host it attra

You can buy "white board paint" that allegedly turns any surface into an erasable white board. Don't know how it will paint over when you move out, though.
Why not just get a big cloth banner/flag (school logo on a blanket?) or maybe a huge mirror and hang that on the wall for people to sign? Put a plastic tarp behind it so the marker doesn't bleed through onto the wall. That way, you can tak

Here's a crazy idea, since the site is more or less locked into Phorum due to the archives. Instead of buying a server, how about paying the Phorum developers to host it?

Phorum is written in PHP and MySQL, in other words the common LAMP web stack. I find it difficult to believe that you can't find anyone with those common skills willing to do a server migration.
The Phorum software itself is starting to show its age, and judging by this thread on their support forum it has been pretty feature-stagnant since 2007:

The description of this forum section reads "People building or using RepRaps." I interpret that to mean that this is the place to discuss people and what they are up to, not the Folger Tech customer support forum or a place to discuss controller connectivity problems.

There is also a define for DOG_LCD or something similar that's needed, along with adding the u8_glib IIRC. (It has been a year and a half since I last touched Marlin/Megatronics2.) RAMPS owners with the 12864 GLCD have the same problem building firmware with 12864 support, and I'm sure the archives are full of more precise answers.....

With the better multimeter the current heater has a resistance of 2.5 Ohm which equates to 57.6 Watts or 1.5 kW/m². Considering the Think3dprint3d.com kapton heater can do 6 kW/m², I suspect the heating element is the problem. Can anyone recommend a source for a higher power rated 220mm bed?
I would try feeding it 24V through an external SSR for kicks and giggles. I over-volt my 30

Welcome to the world of Delta printers with under-powered 8-bit controllers! As many of us have already discovered, the 8-bit CPU used on most controllers does not have enough processing power to run both the Delta math and a Graphical LCD (GLCD). Repetier firmware is more efficient than Marlin in this department, but the long-term fix is to get a proper 32-bit controller such as Smoothie or Du

The method in favor this week is strings/springs to hold tension on the rods, and not even using magnetic parts. This would certainly help to hold your current parts together as well. Check out the Cherry Pi IIIs on Thingiverse for an example.....

I still think that Werner Berry's idea for using a paint pressure pot as a vacuum chamber for drying/storing filament is probably the best method that uses the least amount of energy.
Thingiverse has someone's design for a filament dryer using a 5-gallon plastic bucket and an incandescent light bulb, IIRC. I picked up the bucket and screw-on lid (and electronic digital temperature controller),

Stupid question - did you overwrite the original config file when you did the binary file update? The Smoothieware binary should be universal among all boards, and as long as you didn't replace the config file on your SD card nothing else should have changed.
One other thought. Did you grab the latest Smoothieware Edge build, or go for the "Stable" version that's somewhat obsolete? Try grabbi

Silly question - did you check the contrast settings? If it is a recent genuine RRD display, there is a trim pot on the back of the LCD near the SD card slot. You can CAREFULLY grab it from the side with tweezers or needle-nose pliers and take a 1/4 turn swing (power off) until you see the missing characters or black boxes if the firmware isn't configured properly.
