The LCD Panel is working almost out of the box - well done Smoothie. Surprisingly yesterday before asking the community (thanks @raykholo , @Hakan_Evirgen and @Alex_Krause ) I connected EXT1 and EXT2 the same way as today, but got only some strange pixels displayed. Today it simply worked OK.
Configuration changes:
- set: panel.enable true
- uncomment panel-related lines
- reversing panel.encoder_a_pin and panel.encoder_b_pin values, as encoder was increasing values anticlockwise
- adding panel.encoder_resolution 4 to allow moving by one line per encoder detent
- (optional) commenting out #panel.buzz_pin to disable buzzer
Current panel related config:
Panel
#Uncomment panel related lines and set panel.enable to true (originally false)
panel.enable true # set to true to enable the panel code
Example for reprap discount GLCD
on glcd EXP1 is to left and EXP2 is to right, pin 1 is bottom left, pin 2 is top left etc.
+5v is EXP1 pin 10, Gnd is EXP1 pin 9
panel.lcd reprap_discount_glcd
panel.spi_channel 0 # spi channel to use ; GLCD EXP1 Pins 3,5 (MOSI, SCLK)
panel.spi_cs_pin 0.16 # spi chip select ; GLCD EXP1 Pin 4
panel.encoder_a_pin has been originally set to 3.25!^ # encoder pin ; GLCD EXP2 Pin 3
panel.encoder_a_pin 3.26!^ # encoder pin ; GLCD EXP2 Pin 5
panel.encoder_b_pin has been originally set to 3.26!^ # encoder pin ; GLCD EXP2 Pin 5
panel.encoder_b_pin 3.25!^ # encoder pin ; GLCD EXP2 Pin 3
#added panel.encoder_resolution with value of 4
panel.encoder_resolution 4
panel.click_button_pin 1.30!^ # click button ; GLCD EXP1 Pin 2
#commented panel.buzz_pin to disable buzzer
#panel.buzz_pin 1.31 # pin for buzzer ; GLCD EXP1 Pin 1
panel.back_button_pin 2.11!^ # back button ; GLCD EXP2 Pin 8
