I just updated my K8200 with the stand alone controller VM 8201.
It´s not working because I can´t read the display ! It looks chinese ! Is that a mailfunktion of the module ore is it set on chinese language ???
I followed the manual, I soldered the connector to the board and made the update to Marlin V2. The printer works with Repetier but how to use the module ? How can I change the language on it, if it´s set on chinese ??
Where can I find a Manual how to use the Module ??? How must the SD card be formated ???
The language selection is done in the ‘language.h’ file of the Marlin software. Default setting is #language=1 (English). I don’t remember any Chinese option.
The SD card must be formated (and filled) on your PC.
I strill can´t get it working ! I gues I it´s a mailfunktion because there is realy nothing I can do to change something on it. The dispay is doing something if I turn the switch on its side. That´s about it ! Can´t reed anything !!!
I will chuck it in the bin and get a new on. Then we will see wheter it´s a mailfunktion or not.
Sorry, the forum does not allow uploads, you will have to provide a link to a picture.
Do not throw it away, we do offer inspection/repair if you return the unit.
