Blind LCD navigation

Hi Friends,

My LCD has gone bad and no longer displays an image. Contacted support about a replacement, but in the meantime I'd like to use a Pi Zero. Unfortunately, this will require enabling it through the menu, which I cannot see. Haven't been able to find an up-to-date menu structure map, so will one of you kind peoples tell me how to get to that option from bootup, using knob ticks / clicks as a unit of measurement?

Bump

How about a quick phone video, will someone film themselves navigating to the raspberry pi menu option?

Re: Blind LCD navigation

Maybe you can remotely change this specific value somewhere in a config file without recompiling the firmware.?!?!
This is just a guess.

I think you can connect a Pi via USB without any changes to the printer required. You only need to change that firmware setting if you're connecting the Pi directly to the headers on the Einsy board.

If nobody else gets to this before I get home from work, I'll try to get you something useful. Whether that be a video or just a script of buttons to press.

@adam8797 Thanks! I'll check back later

@karim.b That's a good suggestion, but I don't have the right USB cable to go from a Pi Zero to the Einsy 🙁

Re: Blind LCD navigation

Hey Kris! Here's a quick phone video:

And here's a quick summary:

  • Button

  • Down/clockwise x 5

  • Button

  • Down/clockwise x 10

  • Button
  • I'm still on RC4, but as long as there haven't been any menu changes in the later firmware this should point you in the right direction.

    Good luck!
