    thanks for the reply but, I have no idea where to start. would you give me a step by step, I watched a couple YouTube vids and I think i have all the software i need now but not sure how to use it. im sure i could find that .h file but i dont know how to send it to the controller.
    Sorry Im a total noob.

    I suspect he will repost it in this thread.

    I'll leave it up to him, but I am sure he will at least update this thread pointing to it.

    Mine as well, but mine is not the knock-off version of the Full graphics one (rather just the rep rap discount LCD).
    I don't have the same one he is playing with. I also do not remember what version of the firmware I am on (it is not very recent).

    I cant get it to compile, and upload the firmware. I might (sure i am) be doing something wrong. sooo the noob question of the day. What does it mean to UN COMMENT something when editing the configuration.h file. and do you do that in Arduino program or in something like notepad (basic text editor).?

    i paid $69 for this card for 3d makeworld.com should it already be setup to work just by plugging it in? maybe its a bad board. ??

    uncomment is computer science speak for removing a marker that causes the process to skip lines. Things like ;Written and compiled by ben
    notes, bits of code that you wrote but decided not to run. In arduino its a semicolon.
    I think...

    Is there some reason why that particular display costs so much? I don't know the history, but it looks standard. Is the 10 dollar one taking advantage of poor copywriting, or the opposite. No it looks like its just a standard part to plug into a mega 2560.

    ok. I'll go back and look over the code again. so i got robbed and its a bad board. ;(
    what about editing the file? in the arduino program or in notepad?

    Just edit it in arduino.
    I don't know if you got robbed or if you supported a developer that didn't manage his licenses well.
    I am sure there's a story, everyone's got one. People use the same hardware for other processes.

    I have been here a couple of months now and have yet to see any post during that time from this mythical Ziggy. He pulled his code from the forum posts so there is no way to use it in any version of the firmware. Even the latest version of Marlin (which doesn't work on the Robo currently), version 1.0.2 development, doesn't display filament use. It does remove the unconfigured extruders. I didn't even see filament use as a feature request on the Marlin GIT pages. If you want filament used to display, you have a couple of choices; 1. Ask the developers for an enhancement request, and if they deem it worthy of their limited time (remember they do this for free) it will get added someday! 2. Learn C++ and program it yourself, then when its working exactly how you expect, kindly ask the developers to include your code in the Master branch, again if they deem it worthy of their limited time it will get pulled in and everyone can benefit.

    So, I am not trying to be an ass here, but what I am saying is we all want something, sometimes we get what we want but most times we don't, that's life.

    Yea, in all fairness @Ziggy has been away for a good bit.

    (he was last on May 11)

    He was extremely active in the forum, but I imagine life intruded.

    Going back to the marlin devs is probably the best choice.
    I don't have that type of display so I can't help you with the code.

    Sorry to bring up a VERY old post, but do you think you can make a time remaining mod for the xxl? on the bottom row it just says "endstops hit: z" and its not that important.

    Why sorry. The jerks that say "search" and the jerks that say "there's already a thread on this" and the jerks that say this thread is old" don't live here.

    I would think you could ad a clock, but it can't estimate based on g code. The computer can estimate, but not the LCD controller.

    Yea, time remaining even on the computer is a big'ol S.W.A.G.
    Best you could do is % complete (and that would be % GCODE executed really).
