GLCD powerup issue

Controllers Smoothie
1

I’m having an issue running my smoothieboard with a GLCD and adapter pcb.

If I supply 5v to the smoothie via USB I get a dim LCD, then turn on my 12v (Vpp) psu I get full brightness and everything displaying as it should.

If however I just turn on my 12v psu I get full brightness but static (stationary) only on the screen. Smoothie is still responsive via USB and telnet just gibberish on the screen

I have a 5v 1a Vreg on the smoothie and 5v (Vusb) is supplied via the USB port (When I plug it into my computer).

I have tried formatting my SD and recopying my config over but no change. This setup used to work until I changed some settings ( Switch modules for fans).

If it helps at all I’m using Notepad++ to edit config and running Windows 8

Any help gratefully received.

So, you shouldn’t be using notepad++ ( it’s known to break config files ), but it’s probably unrelated to your problem.

Please take a look at other posts in this forum, I’m pretty sure somebody else had the same problem and resolved it. Maybe the mailing lists if it’s not here.

Hi,

Thanks for the swift reply.

I found a thread which describes a similar problem to mine. But the solution suggested is already in my config (uartbaud 11500).

The problem has now resolved itself so I have no idea what’s going on.

I’ll try and find an alternative to Notepad++

Thanks for the help
