(Obviously... that might be too much to hope for.). The length of strings (for menu titles, edit labels, etc.) Mapper functions will only catch the ‘lead-in’ described in the mapper’s name (e.g., C2C3). Others include ISO10646_5, ISO10646_KANA, ISO10646_GREEK, ISO10646_CN, ISO10646_TR, and ISO10646_PL. If the input doesn’t match, the mapper will output a ‘?’ or garbage. Until now we’ve been using a custom Marlin font similar to ISO10646-1 but with special symbols at the end, which made ‘ü’ and ‘ä’ inaccessible at 6x10 size. I don' have the permisstions to merge any PR into Marlin. MAPPER_ONE_TO_ONE: Most character sets on graphical displays (including SIMULATE_ROMFONT) map the character index directly to its position in the upper half of the font. I got everything to work thanks to @Tannoo. The upshot of all this is that on Western displays you’ll see a ‘~’ while on Cyrillic an “arrow coming from top - pointing to left” (which is quite the opposite of what the programmer wanted). Creating a new language file is no big thing! You could just add an option to the user add a custom menu entry that runs some arbitrary GCODE. ***>, wrote: Strings in language.h are for serial output, so don’t require any translation. You signed in with another tab or window. Set the status line message on the LCD. 500k+ Pieces of content posted by customers each year. I think you guys putted so much effort in autog0 file structure and it would be much easier to allow a menu to be inserted and to run some gcode. If no character set is specified, Marlin assumes ISO10646_1. to your account. Use only symbols matching the mapper. Could you tell me why didnt you merge it to the main branch of bugfix-1.1.x? Just one advice: if I enable custom menus I need to enable all 5 custom menus! On Full Graphic Displays all symbols should be fine. Everything was good except there was nothing on the screen… MBL uses the mesh to compensate for variations in … The system described here solves some of the related problems that need to be overcome with in a limited environment. Once (or if) the PR is merged, then everyone will have it in bugfix-1.1.x. I want to create an entry labeled (for example) XXX and when I click it I want Marlin to start preheating the bed and start the bed level procedure. The first one is the touch screen mode, where you have a nice color touch display to control your printer, start printing for example, set the temperature and see the status of your printer. But I would like the 105 temperatur to be retrieved from the PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED. How can I fix this? But they may fail to find a match and will output a ‘?’. 85%. In Marlin on my Printer the extruder icons are labeled a 1 and 2. Ender3-V2-Stock-.bin - FAQ and common problems - Stock marlin configuration for Ender 3 v2 - Bed set to 225 x 225 - Adds G2 / G3 Arc support - Adds G10 / G11 Firmware based retraction (Use … @WheresWaldo is including a custom boot screen file with the newest Marlin 1.1.0 firmware he's been maintaining for us. I'm using 4x20 LCD. Brought to you with lack of and lots of . You don’t have to translate all strings. It's really pretty straight forward. Notes. Just let me add one thing, if the user defines "CUSTOM_USER_MENUS " I think the "USER COMMANDS" should be displayed at first, for easy/shortcut access. It's a chinese Ramps 1.4 kit and the RepRapDiscount full graphics LCD. If you display has a 20x4, 16x4 or 16x2 HD44780 type display, or a 128x64 graphic display, all you need is a wrapper for your displays library. I tracked down the code in Marlin … What I would do in your position is to use a utility like winmerge or to compare the difference between your firmware … The only tool required is a piece of paper or a feeler gauge. Have a #define CUSTOM_USER_MENUS in Configuration_adv.h With out this enabled, everything is just as it is today. 44. Currently Marlin includes support for two display technologies: On the other hand, symbols 128 and above have major differences from one display to another. Ich habe folgendes Problem und dazu bei der I-net Suche keine Antwort gefunden. So I ask you: where should I change the code of marlin to add a new menu entry right in the very first option? On 27 May 2017, 09:36 +0800, Tannoo ***@***. It works, but it keeps a blank screen while homing. snprintf_P(some_variable, sizeof(some_variable), PSTR("G28\nM190 S%i\nG29"), PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED); enqueue_and_echo_commands_P(PSTR("G28")); This does not display anything on the screen. in ultralcd.cpp?) enqueue_and_echo_commands_P(PSTR("M140 S105\nG28\nG29")); You told me I shoudl use this below? (‘Someverylongoptionname x’ -> ‘x Somverylongoptionname’). In this mapper, strings are converted from raw UTF-8 input to single ASCII characters from 0-127, and indexes from 0-127 within the combined two 64-glyph pages C2 and C3. After the user chooses an option, Marlin should show the status screen (the main screen where marlin shows temperatures, XYZ...) and at the very botom/left of the screen you could show the LABEL of the current GCODE that is being execute OR the current GCODE … I'm running stock Marlin … It improved it but did not entirely eliminate the problem. Before we start hooking things up, i placed a strip of Kapton tape between the LCD screen … HD44780 (and similar) with Kana charset A00, HD44780 (and similar) with Western charset A02. Should I just download that marlin version? Enable to use SD printing, whether as part of an LCD … For graphical display… let’s take the example of Greek: Provide a bitmap font containing the symbols in the right size (5x9 to 6x10 recommended). @Tannoo I just tested your version and it worked perfectly! Do you know if I can already use that commit? Amazing! Marlin deals with a variety of different displays and needs to display a lot of different languages in different scripts on them, within their capabilities. So finally everything ends in one of the lcd-libraries. You are doing a great job man, thanks a lot! Requires an LCD controller. — My brach is a "snapshot" of when I copied the latest bugfix-1.1.x, then I made changes. (Enabled in configuration_adv.h, of course.) Maybe you could do this: So the user can comment/enable only the custom menus he/she wants. And if I download your PR, will it contain other's people most recent contribution or just your new feature on top of the latest stable version? Maybe it is something like when a custom command is executed, the LCD also displays all SERIAL_ECHO() data for 3 seconds, and then reverts to the Status Screen? Number of Marlin screens installed globally. In the code itself symbols may be used without taking into account the display they’re written on. Have a question about this project? I don't know the answer. Hi guys. In short: Choose a mapper that works with the symbols you want to use. Don’t destroy the existing language files. So we need monospace fonts with a bounding box of about 6x10. Kapton Tape ftw. You can check in the link from where I bought it. Lucky. After that I copied the file ultralcd.cpp, language_en.h and configuration_adv (from your repository) and added them to my RCBUGFIX. Thanks man! Even the English translation uses some Symbols not in US-ASCII (e.g., ‘\002’ for Thermometer, STR_h3 for ‘³’). In the menu you’ll see two lines from the upper half of the character set: If you get an error message about “missing mappers” during compilation - lie about your display’s hardware font to see at least some garbage, or select another language. Ether direct pointers to the font (, Separate the Marlin Symbols into their own font. By clicking “Sign up for GitHub”, you agree to our terms of service and But we would want some simple algorithm that was both backwards compatible and future safe. Of course, adding the capability to display the output of the commands is great but I think you could start this in a easier way and then improve it. Isnt anything wrong? Successfully merging a pull request may close this issue. (, Make the fontswitch function remember the last used font. On 00:11, Tue, 6 Jun 2017 carlonb, ***@***. This way I could save memory to use with other things instead of loading 4 menus that I will never use. For example, If you want to integrate an entirely new variant of a Hitachi-based display. So, do that recent changes are included in your branch? The Tune menu is only available during active printing. Make three fonts to simulate the HD44780 charsets on dogm-displays. Most items in this menu are editable values. With the Hitachi-based displays you can’t make something useful without a matching charset. Hardware wise they are 0 and 1 and I would like for them to reflect this on the status screen. Seems like it would be super useful but only if it could do things like return the text output of the command back to the LCD. The Germans want to use “ÄäÖöÜüß”, the Finnish at least “äö”. Cant I only use one custom menu and not use the others? Currently we deal with 128x64 Pixel Displays and divide this area into ~5 Lines with ~22 columns. If the user does not want to use this CUSTOM_USER_MENUS it will keep everything as it is today, nothing customized should show up. And possibly echo the standard output that is sent to the host machines in a portion of the LCD Window. See LCD Language System for in-depth info on how the Marlin display system currently works. If you don’t have a version ready to go, check out my guide on the basics of Marlin to get you started. Placing this menu entry right on the top of the others would be great and of easy acccess. Boasting an ergonomic design, this flexible desktop magnifier allows you to pivot and adjust the screen … The PR branch is based on `bugfix-1.1.x as of yesterday afternoon. I think that since this is an end user configuration item, maybe simplicity is best? Sign in Open the Configuration.h file that is located under the “Marlin” folder on the left side of the VSCode screen In the Configuration.h file, uncomment (remove the 2 / in front of #define) the … is limited. LCD_INFO_MENU: A menu with printer information. (UBL currently grabs control of them and takes them away from the LCD Code. This system was created to address these problems. With these fonts the translator can check how the translation will look on character-based displays. I say this cause I opened https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/bugfix-1.1.x and an there are a few changes that were made AFTER the change you made here - > https://github.com/Tannoo/Marlin/tree/user_command_menu. Therein you'll find lcd.print() and lcd_print() what is a UTF8 wrapper for lcd.print(). … The problem that I have is that the LCD … Make the input for translators as convenient as possible. Great work guys! Other European languages want to see their accents too. (, Make output functions that count the number of chars written and switch the font to Marlin symbols and back when needed. I was trying to keep this as a simple custom script option. Merlin offers the greatest value and picture quality available. Number of new content pieces Marlin provides each month. Thus he ended up with two pretty unreadable language.h files full of ‘\xxx’ definitions. We could put a Custom Commands on the main menu for just this type of thing. In those cases the compiler will throw an error. If you get a lot of question marks on the Hitachi-based displays with your new translation, maybe creating an additional language file with the format language_xx_utf8.h is the way to go. Core error strings must always be in English to satisfy host protocols. This is annoying, but workable. ), Make mapping functions and tables to convert from UTF8 to the fonts and integrate in the new output functions. I'm always wondering what the current K value is for LIN_ADVANCE so I have to go back and check on the slicer I used. Percentage of Marlin customers who would recommend the company. On all these displays you can define 8 custom symbols to display at once. You can, but it won't have this PR (#6875) in it. Description I am using a BIQU SKR, as well as the latest Marlin 2.0 and config for the Anycubic Linear Plus. For example, pt-br_utf8 specifies Portuguese (Brazil) in UTF-8 format with a mapper. One final question, in the command "M140 S105\nG29" I would like the 105C temperature to be retrieved from the PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED variable. The mapper_tables do their best to find a similar symbol in the HD44780fonts (for example, replacing small letters with the matching capital letters). The Germans want to us… For other scripts like Cyrillic, Japanese, Greek, Hebrew, … you have to find totally different symbol sets. If a print paused for a filament change using the TFT interface, the print would resume at t he wrong Z height. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: In ultralcd.cpp, Main Menu starts at about LN 805. How do I insert this value in the string? If that doesn't work. Graphical displays provide complete freedom to display whatever we want, so long as we provide a program for it. There is nothing to display. (fonts, mapping tables). The second mode is the "Marlin" or 12864 simulation mode, which will show the original printer menu from the Marlin … SD Card //#define SDSUPPORT. (, Do a bit of preprocessor magic to match displays - fonts and mappers in, Symbols outside the normal ASCII-range (32-128) are written as “, HD44780 displays have one of three fonts (, Even on the full graphic displays one of these character sets can be used by defining, If you don’t make use of the extended character set your file will look like, If you make extensive use, your file will look like. Please open a new issue for related bugs. But now I have to ask you again (cause I think the solution you pointed earlier will not work here): how do I replace the 105 value above with PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED ? 35+ Number of countries in which Marlin has screens. I'm sure users would come up with a 1,000,0001 uses for such a feature 👍. thanks, I hope you could have taken that nap you said in another thread! @Tannoo if you add this option I would love to use it!! Marlin LCD Menu Tree Main Menu Tune Menu Move Menu Info screen Main Prepare Tune Speed Move 10mm Move Menu Prepare Nozzle Move 1mm Move axis Control Nozzle2 Move 0.1mm Move X … Just try'd to get a new marlin firmware instead of the older one of makerfarm, Changed the config as it should be for the printer but not alot after sensors and steps, When uploading the firmware rebooting the printer the LCD stopped working, When using Prontrface everything does seem to work, except for the LCD… Hope someone can help. Home » Low Vision Product Line » Merlin LCD – Desktop Electronic Magnifier for Low Vision. So if shorter string isn’t provided, at least make similar strings different early in the string. In the code itself symbols may be used without taking into account the display they’re written on. But embedded systems have very limited resources! Allocate for use with either PARKING_EXTRUDER or MAGNETIC_ I rapped the ribbon cable with foil. Installed a RepRap Discount Smart Controller on my printer (ramps 1.4, Marlin firmware). ***> wrote: I tried to comment the lines at row 2361 and 2363 in file ultralcd.cpp and seems solved, but I do not know why this was related to the THERMAL_PROTECTION_BED. I have a medium knowledge of arduino and I can change it if you just tell me where I could do that. This issue has been automatically locked since there has not been any recent activity after it was closed. My suggestion is this: when the user define the CUSTOM_USER_MENUS, he should assign a pair value of LABEL and GCODE. Normal ASCII characters should occupy 1 to 127, and the upper 128 places should be populated with your special characters. With that enabled, At the very bottom of the first menu page, there is a 'User Commands' entry, Within the 'User Commands' page, we present up to 4 or 5 different sequences that are defined in Configuration_adv.h (along with titles). Make ISO fonts for Cyrillic and Katakana - because they don’t need a mapping table, are faster to deal with, and have a better charset than the HD44780 fonts. @Tanoo thanks! There are combinations of language and display which simply have no corresponding symbols - like Cyrillic on a Japanese display or _vice-versa. Marlin currently supports 34 different language variants: All these languages (except English) normally use extended symbols not contained in US-ASCII. Being able to report it with an M900 in my custom menu would be great. If so, how? What I'm hearing you say is you want the LCD Panel to be available for generic output. Obviously 17 is too long for a 16x2 display. #endif. Info. enqueue_and_echo_commands_P(snprintf_P(some_variable, sizeof(some_variable), PSTR("G28\nM190 S%i\nG29"), PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED)). The upshot of all this is that on Western displays you’ll see a ‘~’ while on Cyrillic an “arrow coming from top - pointing to left” (which is quite the opposite of what the programmer wanted). On top of space used for the font, mappers use an additional ~128 bytes for the. Search for your lcd screen with find or replace and … Write a mapper that catches -in this case-, If you discover enough useful symbols in one of the HD44780 fonts you can provide a mapping table. I see you already implemented a better aproach than mine in your commit! enqueue_and_echo_commands_P((PSTR("M140 S%i\nG28\nG29"),PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED)); Thanks, you were very kind and helpful! If you want to make use of more than a few symbols outside standard ASCII or want to improve the portability to more types of displays, use UTF-8 input. That is a brilliant idea! Declare the kind of input we use. All these languages (except English) normally use extended symbols not contained in US-ASCII. Using the graphical display, you can test for bad substitutions or question-marks that would appear on character displays by defining SIMULATE_ROMFONT and trying the different variants. Marlin includes a script named findMissingTranslations.sh which list the strings needing translation for one or more languages. UTF-8 input is used for mappers other than. I open the topic here because I really think I have a problem with setting Marlin in order to have a functional LCD. Screen Size 3.5(inch) Screen Type TFT Driver IC ILI9488 Resolution 320*480 (Pixel) Module Interface 8Bit or 16Bit parallel interface Active Area 48.96x73.44 (mm) Touch Screen Type Capacitive touch screen … Omitted definitions will simply use the English strings in in. Because these letters were too big for some positions on the Info Screen, we use a full ISO10646-1 font at 6x9 (3200 bytes). This is possible for character sets that have only 2 contiguous pages of Unicode containing all the special characters. This will cause the machine to home, wait for bed to get to temp, then start bed leveling. So, language files are free to check the LCD width and provide shorter strings in the following manner: On 16x2 displays, strings suited to a 20x4 display will be chopped to fit. I liked that when I clicked the option after a few seconds it comes back to the status page! Here's where the LCD menus are implemented in Marlin… Not even to draw a blank screen. I dont know if Arduino allows multidirectional arrays, but if so, this would be my suggestion: #define CUSTOM_USER_MENUS array(array("BED LEVEL","M109\nG28\nG29"),array("OTHER STUFF","GCODE STUFF")). I am using Arduino Mega 2560/ Ramps 1.4 and a Reprap LCD screen. Didn't know if some of you would ever want to make your own image. This would be redone in a cleaner form. The message should appear immediately, but it will depend on LCD settings. ), What would help is some clever thinking how the output of SERIAL_ECHO() macros gets temporarily displayed on the LCD in addition to being sent to the host program. There in you can find cals to lcd.setCursor and _draw_axis_value();. So, I have a 2004 LCD 20x4 [www.aliexpress.com]. sends this to the connected lcd screen so I can send it via the i2c wires to the tft? MAPPER_C2C3: This is a mapper set by some language files, and indicates that Marlin should use the mapper for Unicode pages C2 and C3. Now I have one final question: I declared a function to be executed when this option is selected and I want to know what code should I put inside this function in order to it run a specific GCODE? SORRY I AM an idiot! I don't know how to mess with multidirectional arrays. So we must find ways to limit the space used (unifont.ttf alone is ~12MB! This method can be used for accented Western, Katakana, and Cyrillic if they don’t supply their own fonts, or just for testing character-based mappers on a graphical display. Recently however I have printed an LCD case and the screen … On the SD Card listing screens some of these characters are re-used again for Up-level, Folder, and Refresh. But now I have to ask you again (cause I think the solution you pointed earlier will not work here): how do I replace the 105 value above with PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED ? Why cant I use this -> https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/bugfix-1.1.x ? LCD_INFO_SCREEN_STYLE. I added a custom command like this: And it worked! There is some thinking going on how to allow the main part of Marlin to use the Encoder Wheel and buttons in a clean fashion. Great explanation! Have made a nice little menu with an adafruit tft... but having trouble getting messages back to the slave arduino from the ramps via i2c... i.e If I change the x axis it will show the new settings on the lcd connected to the ramps of X 10(etc)... but which function in (i.e. Ideally would be awesome to have the same screen than when printing via SD but not sure if possible. 94%. For example, if I want to home all axis when I click this option and right after I cilck this option it displays the INFO SCREEN in the LCD instead of showing a blank screen? So I took the latest RCBUGFIX and migrate all my settings to the latest RCBUGFIX. All translatable strings are first declared in language_en.h and then language maintainers follow up by providing translations in their own languages. I liked that the custom commands appeares at the TOP! You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. To find out which character set your hardware uses, set #define LCD_LANGUAGE test and compile Marlin. “17 characters” was a crude rule of thumb. #define LCD_INFO_SCREEN_STYLE 0 0 for classic; 1 for Prusa info screen style. For the graphic displays in u8glib. Regards, (. So, using the files above (The Marlin and u8glib) and Arduino IDE version 1.5.4, the LCD screen Data will sometimes be offset slightly. (Less compromise! The label will the be the option label that will be displayed (some of you suggested 5 options max) and the gcode would be the gcode sequence that should be executed. Also, when printing from Marlin … We’ll occasionally send you account related emails. For information about fonts see buildroot/share/fonts/README.md file. Cause sometimes it takes 5 seconds, other times it takes 10 or even 20 seconds to come back to status page. Hallo zusammen. Already on GitHub? Is there any GCODE I could add to the pre-print GCODE so that I can have a print status update on the LCD screen? But its really strange cause I only managed to make the LCD screen to come back to the info screen if I use this: If I dont use this and I only use the enqueue_and_echo_commands_P() the screen will get completely blank and after 20 seconds it comes back to the status screen. We could put a Custom Commands on the main menu for just this type of thing. in this video i am going to show you how to customize your 3D printer LCD boot screen on marlin firmware V{1.1} step by step guide. The contents of this website are © 2021 under the terms of the GPLv3 License. My issue is I am unable … I can update that branch with any new changes. PRs are usually generated to get feedback and testing before merging. Hope other people find this thread and be able to add a menu entry easily, it's very useful being able to customize the LCD display adding some macros/shortcuts! #define MSG_SPRING_LABEL "Springiness" In Marlin these characters are used on the Boot Screen, and on the Info Screen for the Bed Temp, Degree symbol, Thermometer, “FR” (feed-rate), Clock, and Progress Bar. We should probably expand that thinking to also allow the main parts of Marlin to have easier access to the LCD Display. Hi, I'm having "issues" with my first RAMPS and Marlin. LCD_LANGUAGE: The LCD language and encoding to compile in. Things needed: A RepRap Full Graphics LCD … (Unicode UTF8), Make the displays show the scripts as best as they can. https://github.com/Tannoo/Marlin/tree/user_command_menu. Merlin LCD – Desktop Electronic Magnifier for Low Vision. Otherwise the user would have to scroll down the LCD till the very last option is reached. Oder ich bin zu blöd oder blind Das LCD 12864 an Ramps 1.4 angeschlossen, Marlin 1.9 ist drauf. For others you have to start at the (ultralcd_impl_HD44780.h or ultralcd_impl_DOGM.h) level. The Fysetc RGB LCD screen I have connected works properly unless printing … @Tannoo with your help I could finally add an entry to the very first position of my LCD \O/. Hi guys! Mesh Bed Leveling (MBL) allows interactively measuring a Z height mesh without a bed probe. Have a fixed set of symbols (charset - font) in their ROM. This will take some thought to work through. For a faster, lighter, but non-accented translation you might choose pt-br instead. You're on the right track - at least with Marlin firmware (which I suspect would be a good choice for a Prusa i3) the only way to really customise the menu is to edit the firmware, and compile+upload with Arduino IDE. It seams related to your lcd screen. Which means defining another mapper. Thanks for helping AnH :) The function I was actually looking for is lcd_move_get_x_amount, y, z, etc... :) It's nice when a community does it's best to help out :) Thanks again. Only later, you could add an option to display the result of the GCODE in the screen because I believe this would require much more thinking and clever solution to display data without outputing it to serial. I read the entire configuration and _adv file and I found no place where I can add a custom item to the LCD menu. privacy statement. If there’s no existing mapper for your language then things get a bit more complex. Is it possible to make it come back right away to the status page after I select a custom command to be executed? This specific option selects the Western font for use on graphical display. Define your hardware and the desired language in Configuration.h. I compiled and it worked. This outputs to the command buffer and the serial output. I will try it now on my printer. ), requiring some compromise. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread. After the user chooses an option, Marlin should show the status screen (the main screen where marlin shows temperatures, XYZ...) and at the very botom/left of the screen you could show the LABEL of the current GCODE that is being execute OR the current GCODE that is being executed. Use the snprintf_P() I posted earlier. Printing using the screen would give me different results than using Marlin mode. I configured, compiled and installed Marlin 1.1.0-RC8 on it. wow that would be awesome! This document describes changes made to the font system for Marlin 1.1. https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/bugfix-1.1.x. Have spent days on just this :( I really hope someone can lead me in the right direction here... ultraldc.cpp calls lcd_implementation_status_screen() in, depending on the display type included ultralcd_impl_HD44780.h or ultralcd_impl_DOGM.h. Add it to. All of them have a similar (not identical) first 127 symbols, similar to US-ASCII. This is the easiest it can get. The Japanese translator dealt with two scripts, introducing a special font for Graphical Displays and making use of the Japanese extended character displays.
