stepper motors will only move in one direction? (Page 3 of 3)

I was afraid you where going to ask this next. Now we get sticky as the current version of Adruino will not compile properly when you enable the LCD. You will need to get an older version of Arduino from their website first. Unless you have an older vesion?

You really need version 1.0.5. Just get and stick with that version for printer issues.

Once you get that version, open your firmware in it, and go down to around line 1189 in configuration.h tab. These are LCD features.

Find the the following line,

#define FEATURE_CONTROLLER 0

And change the 0 to the one that that most comes closest to yours in this list.

2 = Smartcontroller from reprapdiscount on a RAMPS or RUMBA board
3 = Adafruit RGB controller
4 = Foltyn 3DMaster with display attached
5 = ViKi LCD - Check pin configuration in ui.h for feature controller 5!!! sd card disabled by default!
6 = ReprapWorld Keypad / LCD, predefined pins for Megatronics v2.0 and RAMPS 1.4. Please check if you have used the defined pin layout in ui.h.
7 = RADDS Extension Port
8 = PiBot Display/Controller extension with 20x4 character display
9 = PiBot Display/Controller extension with 16x2 character display
10 = Gadgets3D shield on RAMPS 1.4, see http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS_1.3/1.4_GA … with_Panel
11 = RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller
12 = FELIXPrinters Controller
13 = SeeMeCNC Display on Rambo (ORION)
14 = OpenHardware.co.za LCD2004 V2014
15 = Sanguinololu + Panelolu2

I am going to guess 2 would be your first choice.

Then look for the following line,

#define UI_LANGUAGE 1

Change 1 to the language of your choice from the following list.

0 = English
1 = German
2 = Dutch
3 = Brazilian portuguese
4 = Italian
5 = Spanish
6 = Swedish
7 = French
8 = Czech

There are a few other settings in this section you might like to toy with.

#define UI_PRINTER_NAME "Ordbot"
#define UI_PRINTER_COMPANY "RepRapDiscount"

Will show the information inside "" on a splash screen as your printer boots.

Once you enable the LCD the SDcard reader built into the LCD will work. Just run and STL file through your slicer and then rather than printing it, you will export it the SDcard which you will need an SDcard reader on your PC as well to do so. The PC will not see the SDcard through the machine. Well it might if you use Repetier Host and firmware. I honestly have not tried since my laptop has a built in reader and I have always just used it.
