Viki LCD Install on V4
Hi All - I just wanted to ask before I get into it.
Going to add the Viki LCD to the printer. MY main concern is the firmware. I'm assuming that I should just follow the instructions on the wiki site.
Anything I need to be aware of ?

Re: Viki LCD Install on V4
Could use a hand here.
Did an LCD install. Everything seems fine, I have yet to do a print, but I noticed when I home my axis, the Z homes to the bottom of the machine verse the top, it seems like the Z axis is reversed.
Thoughts on this ?

Re: Viki LCD Install on V4
Flip the Z axis homing direction in the firmware -- you probably have the newest firmware (with a bottom endstop) on a machine with a top-mounted endstop.

Re: Viki LCD Install on V4
I should also clarify, I received a Geetech LCD from Makergear.
I'm dead in the water now, not sure how to edit firmware.

Re: Viki LCD Install on V4
Did you change the stepper wiring at all? Perhaps you have one of them put in backwards? To flip a four wire stepper, either flip the wires on one group or swap the two groups of two without changing their orientation.

Re: Viki LCD Install on V4
No I literally did nothing.
Opened case, removed SD Reader, put interface card over correct headers, pushed in place, attached the 2 ribbon cables, and closed box.

Followed this 100%.
The firmware is bad, if you open it,you will notice settings for mendel that are not what they say it should be.

Re: Viki LCD Install on V4
Black z motor needs different firmware than what is currently on website.
This is per mg.
They will update soon.
