Marlin 2.0/Fysetc F6 1.3/4.3 Touch LCD problem

paketos

I have tried several ways to make my setup but so far the only thing I have achieved was to be able to make the LCD (firmware V1) respond to touch. However, the motors would not move.
I am desperate to get a working Marlin 2 (latest version) that will enable me to:

Get the 4.3 touch screen (i have already updated it to firmware version 2) to go past the Fysetc logo. I can only see the logo and it stays there forever.
Get a working platformio.ini file. I have seen several versions where the default environment is either default_envs = FYSETC_F6_13 or mega2560. Which one is the correct ?
- If I set the envs to FYSETC_F6_13, then I get an error during compile about SoftwareSerialM.
Get a working configuration.h that will enable the touch screen and make it go past the logo screen, but also enable it to control several functions through the screen, like moving motors. So far I have used both:
- #define DGUS_LCD_UI_FYSETC and/or
- #define FYSTLCD_V1
  and I am not able to make it work so far.

I would like to ask to consider my setup and requirements:

Fysetc F6 1.3
Marlin 2.0
TMC2130
4.3 Touch LCD
Platformio.ini with the correct directives

and create a new branch on your github space.

I have spent several hours, I have tried all your commits in github and so far I am very unlucky (or dump 🙁)

Please help me get my set up work.
thanx

Im having the same problem. The LCD is stuck in FYSETC boot logo.

Current configuration is:

FYSETC F6 1.3 - Marlin Firmware from https://github.com/FYSETC/Marlin-2.0.x-FYSETC/tree/F6/2.0.x
FYS Touch Panel - DGUS Firmware from https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSTLCD-2.0

Display enabled by uncommenting this line.

Everything works great if i use an slicer (Simplify3D) to print something.. But im unable to use de SD Card + TLCD becouse of this.

Thanks in advance!!

Does someone care to reply? I need some help. I still cannot use my touch screen.

Follow the github README here:

Thats exactly what i did.. But it doesnt work... The display boots and get stuck in FYSETC Logo.

I created an issue on github with the debugg msg from Marlin. https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSTLCD-2.0/issues/1

I also confirm this. Whatever I have tried so far, nothing helps me to go beyond the Fysetc logo. I have even tested with an S6 board and I still get the same results.

GeorgeFu

Did you follow this ?
Use Arduino to compile Marlin for F6, follow our wiki https://wiki.fysetc.com/F6_V1.3/

Everything else works fine, even the SD Card is working properly on Marlin 2.0. However the display get stuck in FYSETC logo. I tried to open the Display firmware using the DGUS software suggested in the github repo (https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSTLCD-DGUS) and it throws me an error. There is a missaligned item in the Screen 1 (Main Menu) that couse a button overlap error. I fixed it but i have no idea how to compile it in order to reflash the firmware into the display.

Enabling DGUS Debug on Marlin shows the following msg..

UpdateScreenVPData Screen: 1 VP: 12384 VP: 12386 VP: 13072 DGUSLCD_SendHeaterStatusToDisplay 13072 data 0 VP: 12416 VP: 12418 VP: 13084 DGUSLCD_SendHeaterStatusToDisplay 13084 data 0 VP: 12544 VP: 13056 DGUSLCD_SendFanStatusToDisplay 13056 data 0 VP: 12560 VP: 12562 VP: 12564 VP: 12544 VP: 12552 VP: 0 UpdateScreenVPData done

I belive that UpdateScreenVPData Screen: 1 is trying to tell the LCD that it should display Location 1 (Main View, according to FYSETC DGUS editor) however, the display remain in Location 0, Logo.

Maybe this missalignment is the root of the problem.

I was able to go beyond the logo by using the S6 board and connecting to J1 with 4 cables only. I hope this helps @GeorgeFu .

Thanx

Thank you!!!! I checked the F6 schematics and noticed that the FPC Connector uses Serial Port 2. Now it is working!! I had to change DGUS Serial Port in configuration_adv.h from 3 to 2.

Before:
#define DGUS_SERIAL_PORT 3

After:
#define DGUS_SERIAL_PORT 2

After the update (with the 2.0 versions of screen and Marlin firmware) I have this on my "Print" menu.

I updated again, tried with another SD card, tried with shorter file name, ..., but it still like that on my print menu!!

Someone can help me?

GeorgeFu

Can you give the link of screen frimware that you use? And how do you update the firmware? And can you controll the machine with this screen , like move axis?

GeorgeFu
For the F6 board I used this firmware: "https://github.com/FYSETC/Marlin-2.0.x-FYSETC/tree/F6/2.0.x".
To update this firmware I followed the instructions from: "https://wiki.fysetc.com/F6_V1.3/" with Arduino IDE.

For LCD I used this firmware: "https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSTLCD-2.0"
To update the display's firmware, I followed the instructions in the video: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez6qQsYpgLg&feature=youtu.be", and made the changes on Marlin (like on https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSTLCD-2.0):
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_FYSETC_F6_13
#define DGUS_LCD_UI_FYSETC

I can move the axis, heat the extruder, but I can't see any file or start a print. I already change the SD Card, put new file there, but still the same on the display.

GeorgeFu

I update the FYSTLCD-2.0 firmware , https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSTLCD-2.0 , have a try.

bohncarlos

GeorgeFu
Exactly the same result.

bohncarlos

Is it just me who is having problems with the Fysetc display + F6 board??

They wore working before update to Marlin 2.0.x...

GeorgeFu

I think you should enable SDSUPPORT in configuration.h bohncarlos

GeorgeFu

Let me test it again

GeorgeFu I'm trying to get F6 to work with Marlin 2.0.9.2 to use on my CNC. I have almost everything working but when I try to read the card, the files don't appear as in the attached photo. I have already upgraded the display firmware that was working with Marlin version 2.0.5.

GeorgeFu working great now!! thanks for your help! 😀
