I can tell you one thing Chris, there too many "reviewers" and "experts" on youtube, but the ONLY useful and practical tips and information is here. I'm totally new to this 3D printing buzz, started in November with restoring an old mk2 clone given to me by a friend. I'm not a stranger to electro-mechanical engineering and electronics (it's my full time job) but since then I've restored the good old mk2, configured and installed Marlin 1.1.9. Printed parts and built my own version of the LOG :-D (threaded rods and plywood), learned to configure and compile Marlin 2 on Platform.io, added WIFI and touch screen to the printers and so on.... And all thanks to the information in your channel. Pure information without the drama!!!! Great work man!!! Keep it up!!! Thanks for sharing with us !!!!! Regards

Hi Chris, your videos have really been a great help to me. There's not much on the web about updates for old RAMBo boards so I was reluctant to try to add the TFT35 to my old Maker Gear M2E. Your videos have given me the confidence to give this a try and I'm happy to say I got both the 12864 and touch screen modes working today. The 12864 mode was easy after I figured out the connectors were keyed backwards for my RAMBo v1.3. I had to do some research to find out how to hook up the the TFT cable to a serial port on the RAMBo but it was surprisingly straight forward. Thanks for your excellent instruction!

I wasn't aware this one could do both! That's perfect! :D You sold me on it... lol I ordered one this morning. I couldn't find a link to it under the video, but I used you're Amazon aff. link to go and search, I got it with a coupon, total was $28 shipped. Can't beat that!

Thak you for putting out good info. Your channel is one of the few I check out when I need to find something I have questions on. I left Marlin firmware long ago when I converted all the printers I use to Duetwifi's and learned reprap firmware. Now I am building an old school i3 printer just for the fun of it and I saw these cheap 32 bit boards put out by BigTreeTech and decided to try it. You video's regarding how to configure and upload Marlin 2 via vs code are very good and to the point. Still a bit more involving to make changes to your firmware than the duets, but a good alternative for those who can't afford a duet.

These screens are pretty cool, almost worth it just for the mainframe-y green on black look. Keep in mind though, when printing from the SD card attached to the screen, you're talking to the actual mainboard over serial, and things like limited bus speeds, CRC failures, and buffer problems can creep up for some people.

Great Videos Chris! Concise, accurate, reliable, and complete! Wish the whole internet was like that. I followed your videos and I have been able to upgrade my Longer LK5 Pro with the SKR 1.4 Turbo with the BigTreeTech 2209's. I can connect to and control my printer through the Raspberry Pi that I have connected to it with OctoPrint however, my touchscreen display just keeps flashing "Longer", "Longer". I have tried making different changes in the configuration.h file but nothing seems to work. I've also tried switching the R & T wires. Nothing. I have the TFT connected as shown on SKR data sheet to the corresponding labels on the Longer TouchScreen (which functions from the factory with only 4 wires, no reset). I made a custom wire harness to get that done. I also tried loading the DWIN_SET from Longer onto the SD card but that didn't work either. Everything else seems to be controllable from OctoPrint thanks to your great video instructions. My apologies, this is my first attempt to modify and compile firmware. You seem to be very knowledgable so I was hoping you could point me in a direction. I am in over my head. Thank you and please keep up the awesome videos!

@@ChrisRiley Thank you so much for answering. The post was older so I wasn't sure you were monitoring it. I am using the touch screen that came with the Longer LK5 Printer. These are the numbers that I got off of the board itself (I don't know if they mean anything): HST0430563-7, TJC 4827X343_011_P03. These were on the chip: Ai HMI, T8, 20352035M0292. I have looked through the Marlin code provided in the example for Longer LK5 Pro but I can't see how the tft display is being called out. Also, when I comment-out "define Longer LK5 Pro" i get the following error: Sorry! FSMC TFT displays are not current available for HAL/LPC1768. I have also looked at the Alfawise U20 examples. I think Longer and Alfawise are somehow connected. As I said, I am in over my head. Searching the internet for this issue, tells me that I am not alone. I really couldn't find much regarding this matter. Thanks again Chris. Much appreciated!

I've tried on and off for years to get my TFT-35 e3 v3.0 to work with my SKR 1.4 Turbo board in my CR-10 S. The screen display was OK, but the graphics side always showed a "printer not connected" prompt. Recently I installed a SKR Mini e3 V3 board with Marlin 2.1.2 and I was determined to get it working. My solution was to set the Serial port to -1, set the second Serial port to 2, and leave the display as the factory CR-10. Now it's working perfectly. That is significantly different from your settings with the hardware/firmware you're using but perhaps it can help someone with a set up like mine who is desperately looking for answers. Caution: There are several flavors of hardware and you must use the one matching your equipment AND don't try to use a large capacity SD card for the set-up. I had to hunt through my old junk pile to find a small enough SD card; otherwise, the TFT-35 gave an error prompt even though the files on the SD card were correct.

Hi Chris, I have upgraded both my CR10S and my own Hypercube Evo build with this display. Everything works great except when selecting print in on the touch screen selecting the mainboard SDCard rather than the on board display reader the dialogue for bed and nozzle temp to not change so I do not know the current temp of things. Is there a fix for this? The temp readings work OK in emulation mode and when printing from the display SD reader, just not the mainboard reader. Also can I upgrade the display firmware via a firmware bin from the mainboard SD reader rather than the display reader, if not next time I renew the firmware it will mean taking the thing out of the CR10 control box to do this which will be a bit of a pain. Thanks Steve

If you are printing from the SD card on the board I don't think the screen will get any info back to keep it up to date. There is no back and forth after it's started. Also, I think you have to update the firmware from the port on the screen.

@Mobile_Dom 4 жыл бұрын

given that this and the SKR Pro have the ESP8266 ports on them, would you mind doing an updated ESP8266 video with these direct connected options? on either the screen or SKR pro? i think for a lot of people these would be preferable to the Octoprint way

Not sure about the ones on the screen, they should just work by default. Might be a hardware issue there. The one on the boards, check out this setting in configuration_adv.h /** * Set this option to one of the following (or the board's defaults apply): * * LCD - Use the SD drive in the external LCD controller. * ONBOARD - Use the SD drive on the control board. (No SD_DETECT_PIN. M21 to init.) * CUSTOM_CABLE - Use a custom cable to access the SD (as defined in a pins file). * * :[ 'LCD', 'ONBOARD', 'CUSTOM_CABLE' ] */ //#define SDCARD_CONNECTION LCD

Thanks for this. I had to go back and forth with their CS and their manuals on github to get this working. There is also another way to build the firmware for the TFT35 from its source using a configuration.h. This lets you use Material theme icons. I think you also need to enable Serial port 2 in The Marlin configuration.h. One of them is -1 and one is 0. I just can’t remember which is which.
