So I got two displays now to play with, need help to what files to copy to SD card and config lines.

1 Bigtree-tech MINI12864 V.1.0
2. Bigtree-tech RepRapDiscount full graphic smart controller

Advice much appreciated

@tecno said in Extract temp to external display:

12864

The second one may have problems with the logic level.
Background info here
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_an_LCD_control_panel#Section_Connecting_a_12864_mono_graphics_LCD_display_with_rotary_encoder

The second one works for me with a level shifter
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/23034/12864-display-st7920-on-duet-3-mini5
But I would recommend to use the first one.
Then

M918 P2

must be set in config.g

For the menu files see here:
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Display_12864_menu
I use this version
https://github.com/jadonmmiller/UltimateDuetMenuSystem
There is also a demo video.
You can download the archive here:
https://github.com/jadonmmiller/UltimateDuetMenuSystem/releases/download/V1.10/V1.10_UltimateDuetMenuSystem.zip

Extract the files and upload them via DWC to the display folder.

This is what I have in config
; General preferences
M575 P1 S0 B57600 ; enable support for PanelDue
M918 P2 ; configure direct-connect display
G90 ; send absolute coordinates...
M83 ; ...but relative extruder moves
M550 P"BigDelta"

So how do I create DISPLAY and copy the files there?

@tecno
Sorry,
DWC link is outdated.....I haven't found the upload in the current version.....
Pull the SD card and create an folder called "menu"

@tecno
In DWC it is here:

@DIY-O-Sphere

I have menu and creates Display folder and files in it. Still no go

tecno

But does not show in left column ?

DIY-O-Sphere

@tecno
Put all menu files directy into menu folder. You don't need the subfolder display.

tecno

@DIY-O-Sphere

Done and still no go. Is M918 P2 enough to initialize the display?

https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m918-configure-direct-connect-display
Maybe check the contrast parameter
That is different to mine.....

tecno

@DIY-O-Sphere

M918 P2 E4 R6

Done no diff, but when I turn the encoder board resets.

tecno

Tried another set of cables = no go

Is it maybe so that there is no firmware, if so what files do I need?

DIY-O-Sphere

@tecno
Maybe swapped wiring?
Check if EXP1 + EXP2 on board and the display are plugged in correctly.

DIY-O-Sphere

@tecno
This is what it looks like in my menu folder

tecno

@DIY-O-Sphere

Cables are inserted OK . My menu folder is like yours.

Did you ever load in FW in your display board?

DIY-O-Sphere

@tecno
I do not use this type of display, but maybe this will help. There are also versions (think from MKS) where the plug must be turned 180 ° .

tecno

@DIY-O-Sphere

Tried those settings also, next to be a pin detective and see if there is something in wireing.

Thanks for help, appreciated.

Will try more tomorrow.

tecno

Pinout seems to be OK.

Is this display 5V and not compatible with Mini5+ ?

tecno

Why is there no DISPLAY in the left menu?
