Reprap Discount Smart Controller LCD Issue

zastrowc@uwplatt.edu

When I upload my code to RAMPS 1.4 with Reprap Discount Smart Controller, the screen powers on but gives bars in second and fourth rows and blank in first and third. I will attach photo. When I upload Marlin, the display works fine. Any suggestions?

FROM UIFCONFIG

#define UI_DISPLAY_CHARSET 2

/** Select type of beeper

0 = none

1 = Piezo connected to pin

2 = Piezo connected to a pin over I2C

/

#ifndef BEEPER_TYPE

#define BEEPER_TYPE 0

#define BEEPER_TYPE_INVERTING false

#endif

#if BEEPER_TYPE==1 && !defined(BEEPER_PIN)

#define BEEPER_PIN 37

#endif

#if BEEPER_TYPE==2

#define BEEPER_ADDRESS 0x40 // I2C address of the chip with the beeper pin

#define BEEPER_PIN _BV(7) // Bit value for pin 8

#define COMPILE_I2C_DRIVER // We need the I2C driver as we are using i2c

#endif

/

What display type do you use?

0 = No display - do not use here. Set FEATURE_CONTROLLER 0 instead

1 = LCD Display with 4 bit data bus

2 = LCD Display with 8 bit data bus (currently not implemented, fallback to 1)

3 = LCD Display with I2C connection, 4 bit mode

4 = Use the slower LiquiedCrystal library bundled with arduino.

 IMPORTANT: You need to uncomment the LiquidCrystal include in Repetier.pde for it to work.

 If you have Sanguino and want to use the library, you need to have Arduino 023 or older. (13.04.2012)

5 = U8G supported display

You have selected #define FEATURE_CONTROLLER 11

this is for the full graphic display

you need #define FEATURE_CONTROLLER 2

which is for the alpha numeric 'smartcontroller from reprapdiscount'

Thanks for the quick and clear response. That simple fix worked.
