Support for 128x64 variants
-
Hi,
I have two variant 128x64 LCD displays that do not work with the Maestro: they light up but don't show any information, and the reset button doesn't reset the board.Glancing at the Marlin code, they need two pins redefined to work (this would make a number of 128x64 variants work with Maestro).
@dc42 would you accept a patch to make these work? It probably would mean extending
M918
to recognizeP2
for these boards, and the pin re-assignments when P2 is selected. -
Please provide more details of the proposed pin reassignment and where you got the information from. Have you tested your change yet?
-
The required changes can be derived from Marlin Firmware.
I have not tested the change yet, as I wanted to find a small enough change before I dive into the RRF code.
PS: Yes, I'm aware that it will be more involved than just the couple lines I linked above. That's mostly to say the change is easy to isolate within a condition check.

FYI, the lcds mentioned at the marlin github link require another pin to drive the lcd, pin a0
for more info see my post last year https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/6467/viki2-lcd-panel-on-maestro
Unfortunately it was beyond my skill to make the changes needed to add these lcd displays.
I still would really like to see support added for these displays, hopefully you have the skill I lacked to add support for these displays.
