Firmware Settings Dual Extruder, LCD 12864 Upgrade

[rpen5212]

Hi
I recently brought Geeetech Dual Extruder Prusa i3 pro C kit. I assembled the printer with lcd 2004 and was able to get pretty good prints from one extruder, so I decided to upgrade to the lcd12864 and was able to get that working, however now I am having endstop issues, and all kinds of other random issues with the firmware. I would really appreciate your help with a couple things.
1) Which firmware do i have to download to dual extrude?
2) The arduino settings, especially config.h for the board for the dual extruder printer when it comes out of your factory?
3) Also please let me know best software setting for Dual Extruder i3 pro C.
Thank you very much!!!

if you want to upgraded LCD,you need to modify the firmware as below.firstly,open configuration.h.
1. Please define the motherboard as ULTIMAKER
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_ULTIMAKER
2. Add “//”to #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER,
It will stop the DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER
3. Move “//”from
//define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
And it will release the graphic controller.

regarding to the set up for dual extruder,please refer to the following link.

Hi,
Problem solved. It's was due to a lib missing. So, after upload the firmware the LCD 12864 is blinking and the beep is always ringing.

Any help?
I've a GT2560 board.
Thank you.

[Mark]

probably installed the wrong firmware, maybe reinstall it, download your firmware here:

Hi Mark,
I've the correct firmware.

5) I3 pro C

I3 pro C (GT2560)

Thanks.

[Mark]

I have run into this before, don't know which part you're wrong, maybe has something wrong with the installation procedure...which arduino do you use and the libries?

[rmrodrigues]

Hi Mark,
I'm using Arduino 1.0.6 and the library used was downloaded from https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marli ... /libraries

Thank you.
