Recently purchased BigTreeTech SKR E3 DIP v1.1 with four TMC5160 drivers. Everything works like a charm (very quiet drivers). The board is built-in in Creality CR-20 Pro 3D printer. Also purchased Bigtreetech TFT24 v1.1 touch screen display. It is working correctly with E3 DIP board in Marlin mode. However, unable to set it up to work in touch screen mode. Have a message "no printer attached" in this mode. Marlin is last version (2.0.7.2?). Also, TFT24 is flashed with latest firmware from GitHub. Both cables are correctly connected (checked pinout several times).

Any suggestions? Is this board able to work with TFT24 in touch screen mode? Thnx for help/sugestions.

It works

Send a picture which shows the cable and what is the baud rate defined in Marlin and TFT?

I am wondering that Marlin works.

define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

Has to be changed to //#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

Try also to change the serial port from 2 to 0.

DaddyCRO commented 3 years ago

Tried with both settings already. If I comment //#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER, it is also not working. Then for LCD/TFT section stays only uncommented "#define CR10_STOCKDISPLAY". Does a board needs (somehow) an information that TFT screens is connected to the board?

If I set serial port to "0", Marlin displays error during building firmware:

error "SERIAL_PORT must be -1 or from 1 to 5. Please update your configuration."

oldman4U commented 3 years ago

Do you have a picture of the mainboard and how the cable looks like there also.

define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

Is only for mainboards with two 10pin cables. Yours is using one on the mainboard and two on the TFT. This also has nothing to do with touch mode but 2 display types are wrong.

Touchmode requires 3 things.

working serial connection including sender (TFT), receiver (mainboard) and cable and
same baudrate defined in Marlin and TFT.
correct serial port (seems to be 2)

So please change serial back from 0 to 2. Then try to change the baudrate on the TFT to another value (wait 10sec before checking the next value). Last check the black 5pin serial cable with a multimeter and if the orientation is correct. You see the pin value at the back of the mainboard.

Not in this moment. I will tomorrow (in Croatia is almost midnight :-) ), open a printer, and take a picture. I saw here that there is a difference between v1.0 and v1.1 in pins: So I follow this scheme to connect a cable... BOARD TFT

RST RST RX2 TX TX2 RX GND GND +5V +5V

I even changed pins on the board side cable connector to match RX-RX and TX-TX but without success...

Forgot to mention that I also compared "pins_BTT_SKR_E3_DIP.h" and "pins_BTT_SKR_PRO_common.h" files in VSC. In "pins_BTT_SKR_E3_DIP.h" file is missing section (exists in "pins_BTT_SKR_PRO_common.h" which uses other BTT board, except mini):

if IS_TFTGLCD_PANEL

if ENABLED(TFTGLCD_PANEL_SPI)

#define TFTGLCD_CS                      PG10

endif

Do not know if that affects to board TFT compatibility...

The combination of mainboard and TFT works out of the box without changing any pins file.

OK, so the cabling is right.

Assuming the cable is not broken and also that the SKR and the TFT are OK it has to be in software.

So I checked again Marlin and I have the following defined:

define SERIAL_PORT 2

//#define SERIAL_PORT_2 -1 //do not need USB so it is uncommented

define BAUDRATE 115200

With this setting and baud rate of the TFT also set to 115200, this has to work. Check the baud rate in the corresponding touchscreen menu.

DaddyCRO commented 3 years ago

It is strange that I cannot enter menu in touch screen mode. Long press on screen leads to a menu for choose between Marlin and touch screen mode, so I cannot check baud rate on TFT24. Yesterday I flashed new firmware versio on TFT without problem... In config.ini for TFT baud rate is set to 115200... Single press on any icon on screen has no response... Will try to comment line and rebuild Marlin... Thank you for your help...

oldman4U commented 3 years ago

Wait. You can not press a button on the touchscreen??

Make an empty textfile named reset.txt and save it on the sd card. Put it in the TFT and reset the TFT. Let me know

DaddyCRO commented 3 years ago

I did. After restart, it brings a menu for touch screen calibration... I successfully calibrated the screen, and now I can press on icons. So thank you for this tip! Checked baud rate on TFT24 and it is correctly sated up to 115200... Commented //#define SERIAL_PORT_2 -1 line, and building firmware...

DaddyCRO commented 3 years ago

What happens when you disconnect the 10pin cables and only keep the 5pin cable connected?

Hi. It powers up normally, butin touch screen mode still reports error message "No printer attached!" Got back from office, will check the cable immediately...

Serial port 2 Baud rate the same

If those two are correct it has to be hardware.

Just checked the cable: all pins have connection cable seems OK to me.

DaddyCRO commented 3 years ago

One thing that bothers me is cable pinout, I am not sure if it is correct...

At the board, top most PIN is RST, and it is connected with RST pin on TFT24 next pin below on the board is RX2, it is connected to the TX2 pin on TFT24 next pin below on the board is TX2, it is connected to the RX2 pin on TFT24 next pin below on the board is GND, it is connected to the GND pin on TFT24 next pin below (bottom one) on the board is +5V, it is connected to the +5V pin on TFT24

Does TX2 and RX2 pins needs to be connected with corresponding TX and RX pins on TFT24? Or it should be as it is connected right now (describe earlier)?

DaddyCRO commented 3 years ago

Just swapped the cable pins so TX on the board points to the TX on TFT24, and RX on the board points on RX on TFT24, but without success. Still no conection...

DaddyCRO commented 3 years ago

What about serial port configuration number? I tried with 1 and 2: should I try with other numbers from the range (0 - 5)?

oldman4U commented 3 years ago

I used the cable without modifications. Connections are straight.

I asked you to disconnect all other cables because the TFT has to work in touchmode with 5pin cable only.

Just to inform that I finally found out where the problem was... Thank you "oldman4U" for your support. I added a filament run out sensor on the board, and somehow line 1183 in "Configuration.h" file stays uncommented:

define FIL_RUNOUT_PIN 2 // Creality CR20-S stock sensor

After commenting this line, TFT works perfect! It seems that there is some sort of collision between serial port communication and this parameter.

Will close the ticket, since problem (for me) is solved...
