Installing Full Graphic Smart Controller on Prusa i3 error

Using Arduino Displays
#1

Hello,

I am new to 3d printing. I just purchased and assembled a Prusa i3 hephestos. :slight_smile:

I also bought a RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller that I want to install on my printer.

I have done the following:

Installing Arduino
Downloaded: File:Marlin Hephestos.zip - RepRap
Downloaded: Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

And (//) undefine all others in the // LCD and SD support

Added u8glib to the library.

Now I get the following error when uploading.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.
Arduino: 1.0.6 (Windows NT (unknown)), Board: "Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK"

ultralcd.cpp: In function 'void lcd_init()':

Hope you can help me

Hello,

I had the same problem.

I added this lines at the top of the file "ultralcd.cpp":

#include "LiquidCrystalRus.h"
#define LCD_CLASS LiquidCrystalRus
LCD_CLASS lcd(LCD_PINS_RS, LCD_PINS_ENABLE, LCD_PINS_D4, LCD_PINS_D5, LCD_PINS_D6, LCD_PINS_D7); //RS, enable, D4, D5, D6, D7

It works fine for me.

Regards

I too had this issue. I bought the 'RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller' card. I duly took out the comments for it in the configuration.h file and added the U8glib into the Arduino library but kept it coming up with the same error. I tried adding the above lines of code to the "ultralcd.cpp" but it didn't work no matter where I put them in. In the end I took out these additional lines of code (those above) and just used the original modifications that were recommended but the error returned. I studied the error and noticed this. The error occurred in the ultralcd.ccp file and the line of code that kept being highlighted was :-

lcd.buzz(duration,freq);

which was part of this function -

void lcd_buzz(long duration, uint16_t freq)
{
#ifdef LCD_USE_I2C_BUZZER
lcd.buzz(duration,freq);
#endif
}

The reason for the error was because the coding was wrong - the line "lcd.buzz(duration,freq);" should read "lcd_buzz(duration,freq);"

I changed this, saved it, shutdown arduino and restarted it. After loading up the Marlin the firmware compiled first time and my LCD screen now works.

I have taken so much info from the RepRap community I thought I would give something back.

Hope it helps someone out
