This is the exact problem I am facing. Firmware flashed thanks to Carl, and I followed instructions on pins.h, but my screen is behaving just like RC1's.
If anyone has a solution, please share!

Here is the whole source code folder I'm using on mine.   It is the same screen that is pictured in this thread.

The screen is really sensitive to bad cables,  maybe try swapping the 2 around.

Why would you use SD Marlin if you are using a RAMPS? You should just download the base version from github and then make a few tweaks for you machine.

Then it is just some simple tweaks to get endstops working. If you care to dig back through all my post I attached a copy of my Marlin to some of them several months ago and that was for a 1.0 and the whatever 2004 display with RAMPS. That copy of Marlin should have your machine purring and so quite you will have to check to see if it is running..

The github one isn't working. We've tried everything. No-one seems to know why either.

Did you go back to last year about October or so in my post history and find my post that I included my Da Vinci Marlin build on? I will be back later today and try to find one then and repost it here. But do  look for it yourself if possible.

Yeah i found it after you commented.

Personally, I'm using the following:
  *Sainsmart RAMPS 1.4
  *Arduino Mega 2560
  *RRD LCD Smart Controller...pretty much the only thing I didn't cheap out on with this setup
  *Solidoodle Marlin firmware
So far, by scrolling through your configuration.h, I've found the only real difference from mine (aside from a massive difference) is that I did not include #include "pins.h". That has been changed, saved, compiles just fine, and I'll test it tomorrow.

For any future users reading this thread, especially for XYZ users, can you share the exact LCD model you use and the pins.h?
It would be nice to have a one stop shop for them during this upgrade

I do not own a Da Vinci. I have nothing but Solidoodles

But if you took out a the SD board and put in a RAMPS then it is no longer and SD... Or are you trying to put a display on an SD board?

there is my configuration.h

I use the same display, but my x and z home are going to be different with the extruder and hot end I'm using

Thank-you dude! I'll have to try it when my new board arrives along with another LCD. Got a spare LCD for future uses.

EDIT: Well, that didn't do the job

So just to make sure you do have the U8glib library added to Arduino as well. You can check by clicking SKETCH the IMPORT LIBRARY and it should be listed at the bottom. If it is not listed then it was not installed and is not getting packed in the firmware build.
