hello Ed`s , i bought a new mks gen v1 board together with the same reprap display u`ve used in this tutorial however when i powered the board it worked well within the first few minute with blue leds blinking normally and before i could upload the marlin firmware the board went off. an attempt to power it ,only the red led went on endlessly{ without blinking} and the board could no longer be detected by my computer.. what could be the issue and how do i go about it ?
Depends. Which board for motherboard for printer board. There's a Discord link in description and either myself or someone else can help in general chat.
Dear Edward. I took a multimeter and after doing some measurements I found that the pins are reversed (at least for GND and VCC). At the display side VCC is on pin 10 and GND is on pin 9. When I looked at the MKS GEN L datasheet, VCC is on pin 1 and GND on pin 2. Do you know if I can just invert the connectors, I mean, if doing the invertion all other pins will be connected right? I´ve tryied to copy your setup, taking care with cables on EXP1/EXP2. However, the screen is black and from he beeper I can hear a small click, click sound. I´m using MKS Gen l v1.0 and the reprapdiscount smart controller. Thanks in advance for any help the you can provide. Best regards.
hi edward thanks for your information, i write you from argentina to ask whats happen in my board because (i used several times before on my 3d printer) but now in the lcd screen (reppeg) still all 1th and 2th lines complete in white and the board doesnt work anymore?,.. still with only the red light on, even if i conect by usb to my computer to program it. if you can help will be great because i dont know whats going on. Thanks again!
thanks for the video, one question, after upload the marlin, the lcd screen lights up but displayed nothing, i turned the knob around...nothing any clues ??? these: arduino ide is at 1.8.5, marlin firmware source @ 1.18, mks gen l 1.0 board, usb cable all used, thanks for any help !!!
hello , thanks for all fo your video, i follow your tutorial and my secreen work but i can t go up and down in the menu do you know from where it could coming?
Hello I want to thank you that because of your videos I was able to configure my MKS. Now I have problems hitting the x, y and z axes, I'm using dual z and one motor moves normal but the other one jumps and the x and y axes only go halfway. What do you think it can be? Thanks
What are the number of steps per axis. For example, when you move the x or y axis 10mm. Does it move 10mm? If it moving only 5mm you may need to double steps in Marlin firmware. For the z axis are you using multiple stepper driver boards like a drv8825 or only one? If you're using multiple stepper drivers, then the might be in need of tuning.
@@EdwardBraiman Eu estou usando 200x200x200, quando mando pelo repetier de 10 em 10 ela vai ate parar e nao andar mais tanto em x quanto em y. Uso 4 DRV8825 e tenho o TL smoother neles. Hypercube Evolution my printer
They should both work as they share the same chip-set and architecture. What's the nature of the error you're receiving? Which chip-set is specified in Arduino IDE and do you set a COM port to select? The board is Arduino Mega 2560.
Giovanne Galinari check USB cable and motherboard specified. Let me know what's specified in Marlin firmware and as what's the board type specified on mks full name.
I dont really understand much about this. I've tried 5 or 6 different cables, none worked. Ive uploaded the same code to a ramps 1.4 shield and it worked fine. I dont know whats going on. When its uploading on the mks gen L, the green light flashes as its being written, but a couple seconds later, the error pops up.
When you say blinking, do you mean before you loaded firmware? Do you have a link for your LCD of where it was purchased? What type of 3d printer board are you using?
very good now i see LCD thanks
You're welcome.
Thanks really need it today.

Reversing the ribbon.cables should be safe.
@@EdwardBraiman OK. Thanks!! Everything is working now!!!

Sounds like it may need to be replaced.
thanks for the video, one question, after upload the marlin, the lcd screen lights up but displayed nothing, i turned the knob
around...nothing any clues ??? these: arduino ide is at 1.8.5, marlin firmware source @ 1.18, mks gen l 1.0 board, usb cable
all used, thanks for any help !!!
Check the back of the LCD connectors for exp1/exp2 and match to the 3d printer board. Let me know what happens.
A thing I wanted to ask is that when I loaded the firmware it didn't reboot
Are you sure firmware loaded or display is connected correctly
hello , thanks for all fo your video, i follow your tutorial and my secreen work but i can t go up and down in the menu do you know from where it could coming?
Try moving dial slowly if is still moving fast edit this in Marlin , "#define ENCODER_PULSES_PER_STEP 4".
@@EdwardBraiman ok i ll try it thanks
@@EdwardBraiman hI I've the same problem. not moving up or down I change this parameter also. Do you have idea?
Which version of the Marlin firmware are you using? I'll need to try and replicate, as it been a long time since I tried last.
The connectors on the MKS Gen L are reversed, I don't know how it worked for you...
Should work fine for connections. Do you have a link of where you purchased?

Also check the size of you printer area in Marlin firmware. If it's larger than 200mm, you may need to adjust. Same goes for Slic3r SW.

So do the motors move currently? Are they hot to the touch? Careful if they are hot? Do the motors make a lot of noise when they move?
@@EdwardBraiman Not hot, only one is slow
Which board did you use on marlin, because i've tried board_mks_gen_l and board_ramps_14_efb and neither worked... =(
They should both work as they share the same chip-set and architecture. What's the nature of the error you're receiving? Which chip-set is specified in Arduino IDE and do you set a COM port to select? The board is Arduino Mega 2560.
Im Getting avrdude: verification error; content mismatch
Im using Mega 2560, port is COM 3

What version of Marlin fw?
Thats a buzzer, not a microphone.
Thank you.
1.1.8
Does fresh download of Marlin fw unchanged load?
ive tried that already, nothing changed. I can try using a earlier version
Did that work with a fresh download of Marlin fw same results. If it didn't work it might be a ftdi load because firmware might be curpt.
My lcd is blinking after i made connection can somebody tell me how to fix it.
When you say blinking, do you mean before you loaded firmware? Do you have a link for your LCD of where it was purchased? What type of 3d printer board are you using?
I have same problem..
Do you have a link to where you purchased it?
What settings in Marlin do you uncomment to make this controller work?
You want to remove the comments for, "#define Reprap_discount_smart_controller".
Edward Braiman if I did that, and it still doesn’t work, is there a wiring issue with the cables? Are they upside down? Backwards?
They maybe backwards. Open Pronterface and connect to check for an error messages.
Some boards maybe upside and or backwards.
You better watch out the printers going to hear everything you say with that microphone.
It's piezoelectric buzzer aka speaker.
Can someone tell me how to get this to work? i hooked it up exactly like this and nothing lol
she doesn't see sd card files ?
Is the SD card enabled in Marlin, also did you try the USB port to load files?

I'm confused, you're posting a question on MKS Gen L tutorial and your board is MKS sGEN L. MKS Gen L is a 8 bit board. What's your question?
