Help Setting the Encoder on Smoothieboard with 12864 Lcd Panel

Hi All,
I was wondering if someone can help me, i need to “invert” the rotation of the encoder in the Lcd 12864 Full graphic Lcd panel, as for now when i rotate clockwise, the numbers decrease, and should be the opposite.
How can i invert the pulse by changing parameters in the Config File?
Thanks for any suggestion you can give me.
Regards

Just invert the pins for the encoder in config.

Thanks a lot, i was inverting in the wrong way.
Cheers.
A quick question, Any chance the smoothie could work with the Nextion LCD in the future?
Is because the odd end of instructions at the end? or is just a complicated story?
I was wondering if i could use an arduino as a “translator” to give to Smoothie the right set of clean code as the MKS Lcd does to work properly.
I just dreaming? :slight_smile:

Smoothie is ready to work with a Nextion. But somebody needs to program a nextion to work with Smoothie. If/when somebody does that, it will work.

I would share some pictures and a tft- and hmi-file for the nextion 3.2 - I’m not allowed to post links yet.
The display works on the serial interface. My menu has 3 pages: a control page to control and move the axes, a page for the laser control and to play files from the SD card and one page to input and execute G code.

Email me at wolf.arthur@gmail.com with the links and a link to this post and I’ll add them.
Also you can just add the links and replace the dots by something else

Yeah, that would be great, I am very curious to see how you communicate with Smoothie, as the Nextion, end the instructions with the odd 0xff 0xff 0xff…
And as much as you can ask, they will not change the firmware or the protocol I guess!
Anyway, if you can share the files that will be a good start.
Cheers

I emailed arthurwolf the links. Replacing the dots by something else was not enough….

Hi,
Thanks for reply, hope that Arthur will post the links, so we can have a look at the job and hopefully develop a nice interface for the Smoothieboard, as most of us are fed up with the standard LCD.
Regards

I have added in the compiled TFT file for the Nextion NX so people can just copy the TFT file to a micro-sd card without having to install anything. The HMI file can be edited and uploaded to the Display with the Nextion Editor.

This is the Display I use: https://www.itead.cc/wiki/NX4024T032

I use the laser plotter to get to know the smoothieboard.

Hi Arthur, thanks for adding the mail but without the attached files no one can do anything with it …

Hi Arthur, what’s wrong with you? Are you so self-satisfied that you think it’s not necessary to make your announcement come true?

Either that, or I have 500 late emails, work 8-22 on managing the Smoothie community and pushing the Smoothie v2 project forward. This sort of message to somebody who hasn’t taken a single day off in years is pretty misplaced …
Yes, I set priorities, I have to. Sue me, this is volunteer work …
