Extract temp to external display

Using Mini5 for the printer in question so 12864 might be a easier solution.
My other printers rr_model http call.

@tecno I suggest you read https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Display_12864#duet-3-mini-5-support-for-12864-displays then.

So this would be OK to use? MKS Mini12864 V3

dc42

@tecno yes that display is suitable.

@dc42

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?

DIY-O-Sphere

@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DWC link is outdated.....I haven't found the upload in the current version.....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"

DIY-O-Sphere

@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?

DIY-O-Sphere

@tecno

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?

@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 ° .
