Do you mean uploading the same firmware to Sanguinololu board? No, you can't.

It would be better if you leave a photo of the LCD. Usually ,the firmware we use fits LCD 2004.

Open "configuration.h",find:
Code: Select all
// The RepRapDiscount FULL GRAPHIC SmartController (quadratic white PCB)
//http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapDiscount_Full_Graphic_Smart_Controller
//
// ==> REMEMBER TO INSTALL U8glib toyour ARDUINO library folder: http://code.google.com/p/u8glib/wiki/u8glib
//#defineREPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
delete "//" of the 5th line.
then find:
Code: Select all
// The RepRapDiscount Smart Controller(white PCB)
//http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapDiscount_Smart_Controller
#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER
Add "//" at the beginning of 3rd line.
After editing the file, save it. Then re-upload the firmware as instruction.
If it shows error like this:
Marlin.ino:44:101: fatal error: U8glib.h:No such file or directory
Cmpliation terminated.
Error compiling.
Obviously, it lacks file "U8glib.h". Because you have not installed the LCD library of u8glib.
So you need to install it:
Download the source code of Marlin:
link:
https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin
Unzip the file, you will find a folder named "U8glib" at
Marlin-Release\Marlin-Release\ArduinoAddons\Arduino_1.0.x\libraries.
(I use Arduino1.0.1 to upload the firmware, so I the folder"U8glib" I need to copy is at"Arduino_1.0.x", you should copy the correct folder according to your Arduino version. )
Copy the folder to
arduino-1.0.1-windows\arduino-1.0.1\libraries
