MKS sbase with MKS mini 12864 LCD

[hussainsail2002]

I am unable to get the MKS sbase working with MKS mini 12864 LCD.

I assumed that since both were MKS make it would be compatible. I realized now that the pins are not defined for this LCD.

Could some one help me out with this.

Regards,
Hussain

Hi, this you need change it of MKS SBASE（or MKS SGEN） board's EXP1 interface

1. Connect EXP1's pin5 and pin7、pin4 and pin6，As shown below
   MKS SBASE(or MKS SGEN) pin map:
   
   MKS MINI12864 pin map:
   
   Welding effect picture:
   
2. Pin define
   Use Marlin fireware
   Marlin -> src-> pins -> lpc1768 -> pins_MKS_SBASE.h add pin define
   #define DOGLCD_CS P0_16
   #define DOGLCD_A0 P0_15
   #define DOGLCD_SCK P0_07
   #define DOGLCD_MOSI P0_09
   
   Use smoothieware

Thanks for the reply,

I have another question.
In the configuration file I need to activate minipanel right and not mks_mini_12864 ?

@makerbase-mks

My LCD stays on only for few seconds and then shuts off

Any reason for this ?

No, you only need enable MKS_MINI12864 .
Can you give me your email address? I will send you my Marlin firmware to you.

I got it working now thanks !

I activated mks_mini_12864 instead of minipanel

Edit:

I am closing the issue now.

OK

Trying to make it work on Smothieware...

I have MKS SBASE L v1 with original MKS Smothieware version: https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-SBASE/blob/master/English/firmware/firmware.bin (is the only one that has worked for me and the one that @makerbase-mks are showing in the photo)

I have MKS MINI12684 v1.

I do not solder pin5 and pin7 and pin4 and pin6, instead I bridge with cable connectors:

MINI12864 <-> SBASE
(DOGLCD_AO) <-> (P0.15)
(DOGLCD_CS) <-> (P0.16)
(BTN_NC) <-> (P1.30)
(BEEPER) <-> (P1.31)
(GND) <-> (GND)
(VCC) <-> (VCC)

EXT2 without modifications.

And with the following config.txtparameters:

panel.enable                                 true            # Set to true to enable the panel code

panel.external_sd.spi_cs_pin                0.28            # set spi chip select for the sdcard (or any spare pin)
panel.external_sd.sdcd_pin                  0.27!^          # sd detect signal (set to nc if no sdcard detect) (or any spare pin)

panel.menu_offset                            1              # Some panels will need 1 here

panel.alpha_jog_feedrate                     6000           # X jogging feedrate in mm/min
panel.beta_jog_feedrate                      6000           # Y jogging feedrate in mm/min

panel.hotend_temperature                     200            # Temp to set hotend when preheat is selected
panel.bed_temperature                        70             # Temp to set bed when preheat is selected

I notice 'panel.menu_offset' is repeated. Which is the correct value?

I also notice that this parameters are different from here: https://github.com/makerbase-mks/SGEN_L/blob/master/Firmware/Smoothieware/MKS%20MINI12864%20and%20MKS%20LCD12864A/config.txt

The Display turns On but nothing appears. Beeper sounds as soon as I turn on the board or when I push the encoder button.

What more do I need to do?
