Hi Daniel, if i mount a LCD12864 instead 2004LCD (stock LCD on my Anet A8), coud i connect a bed autoleveling probe as BLTouch after?. Thank you for your clear english !.
Hello Daniel, One should put forward that with Marlin 1.19 There is an Out of memory error on the original anet A 8 V1.15 board version. keep up the good work!

Followed your guide exactly but my LCD is not working correctly. My printer was a CTC i3 pro B but is now modified beyond recognition. My printer was supplied with a mainboard with no identification on it but I have figured out (after a lot of research) that it is a Anet A8 mainboard. It originally had CTC firmware on it but I have flashed it to Marlin 1.1.9 after having followed your exelent guide and used the Anet A8 hardware configs. The firmware works perfectly on my original LCD (the rather horrible 5 button one) when I flash Marlin back to before making the changes form this video. When flashed to Marlin after the changes from this video my new screen works to a degree. I can see most of the bootscreen and can just about makeout the menus but all the text is garbled and a little unstable. I just wondered if you had any ideas. The new screen is the Anet LCD12864 and looks identical to the one in your video. It almost looks as if the refresh rate is incorrect it that is any help.

Hi Daniel, Great videos - Thank you! I'm going to assume that when you make the change in Marlin it reconfigures the way the display looks for the new hardware?

hi.did u modify the board? can i add this lcd display to my stock anet? i already upgraded firmware and use bltouch..so beside adding library.any other thing i need to buy? or upgrade
Question Daniel, I have an A8, just uploaded Marlin 1.1.9 bugfix, and flashed it. Looks like all ok. Bought the same graphics lcd, followed your video here, and compiled . I get an error at the end "Error compiling for board .Anet V1.0". Then in the verbiage at bottom of screen it says " Sketch too big" Sketch uses 128256 bytes (101%), of storage space. Maximum 126976 bytes.
@@Crosslink3D Thank you, someone else also said to Disable_M503, and that saves 2700 bytes of memory, and I did that, and was able to compile, and put the full graphics display on. I am now at 98% of available memory of board, so when scrolling through sd card, it really lags, but could disable sd card, and just use USB cable I guess.
What is the use of the speaker for? I thought that it was for telling when a print finished or something. Is there a way to put that into config, and how would you do that?
You can use gcodes to play tones on the printer. You should add those tones to the end g-code section in your slicer software. Here is the description how to use it: marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M300.html

That’s something controlled by the mainboard. If something is not shown on the display, it’s not the display‘s fault but the firmware is doing it. Is the hotend temp not shown or is it some weird value?

I have done everything and it's working fine if I only connect LCD connector. Whenever I'm connecting J3 connector to main board, LCD become blank. Do you know why? And why we need to connect j3 connector?
Well, the second connector is probably routing some additional stuff to the board like the beeper and buttons/dial. But I never saw that issue.

Yes, use the stock board but you will need the adapter. Either the one I built in the video or you will have to cut your display wire as described.
