Interfacing RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller with Arduino

RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller Features

Using the RepRapDiscount Smart Controller, you don’t need a computer to control 3D printer anymore. In this shield, an SD card is used to transfer 3D design to 3D printer and store the G-Codes. This full graphic Smart Controller contains a 128 x 64 dot matrix LCD display.
Using the rotary encoder on the board, you can move around in the device menu and access data. This display is compatible with ramps 1.4 controllers and can be run with marlin and repiter firmwares.

Step 1: Circuit

The full graphic display for Ramps is a ready-made Ramps shield that places on the Arduino Mega.

Step 2: Code

First, download the following file:

Marlin.zip

Now open the file and then the Configuration.h file from that. Search for LCD and SD support. In this part you can make the display settings.

For setting, search for the following line and uncomment it.

#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

Save the file and open Marlin.ino and upload it to your Arduino.

This code is for setting up all types of 3D printers and other stuff.
