Code Examples
### Example 1: BasicDisplay Sketch for LCD2004
This example demonstrates how to use the LCD2004 module to display basic information on the 3D printer's status.
```cpp
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#define LCD_RS 12
#define LCD_EN 11
#define LCD_D4 5
#define LCD_D5 4
#define LCD_D6 3
#define LCD_D7 2
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(LCD_RS, LCD_EN, LCD_D4, LCD_D5, LCD_D6, LCD_D7);
void setup() {
lcd.begin(20, 4);
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print("3D Printer Status:");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("Printer Online");
}
void loop() {
// Update the display with printer status
lcd.setCursor(0, 2);
lcd.print("Temp: ");
lcd.print(getTemperature()); // Replace with your temperature reading function
lcd.setCursor(0, 3);
lcd.print("Layer: ");
lcd.print(getLayerNumber()); // Replace with your layer number function
delay(1000);
}
```
### Example 2: Custom Menu System for 12864 LCD
This example demonstrates how to create a custom menu system for the 12864 LCD module. The menu allows users to select different printing options.
```cpp
#include <U8glib.h>
U8GLIB_ST7920_128X64 lcd(U8G_PIN_NONE, U8G_PIN_NONE, U8G_PIN_NONE, U8G_PIN_NONE);
const char menuOptions[] = {"Print Startup", "Print Pause", "Print Stop", "Exit"};
int menuItem = 0;
void setup() {
lcd.setFont(u8g_font_6x10);
lcd.setColorIndex(1);
}
void loop() {
lcd.clearBuffer();
lcd.drawStr(0, 10, "Menu:");
lcd.drawStr(0, 20, menuOptions[menuItem]);
lcd.sendBuffer();
if (buttonPressed()) { // Replace with your button press detection function
menuItem = (menuItem + 1) % 4;
}
if (menuItem == 3) {
// Exit menu
lcd.clearBuffer();
lcd.drawStr(0, 10, "Exiting...");
lcd.sendBuffer();
delay(1000);
// Reset printer or perform other action
}
}
```
Note: These examples are simplified and may require additional code and modifications to work with your specific 3D printing setup.
