No printer attached (All parts from V1)

I guess I am joining the “no printer attached” club. When I power up the system, I get the no printer attached message.

Shows the initialization sequence


Wiring on the LCD

How the cables are connected

In the control box

Close up of the serial connection

I flashed the firmware on the controller and tried on the touch screen but it doesn’t do anything when I try to do it on the touch which I guess makes sense if it’s not communicating with the board.

In the video above, your “No Printer Attached” message actually goes away after about 10-15 seconds. This is normal.

Then it shows a “TFT in Listening Mode” message. This is not normal, and I don’t exactly know what that means (perhaps someone else can chime in, or a google search may help).

Does that message clear if you wait for a minute or so?

Could you post a picture of the startup screen showing the TFT firmware and the V1CNC firmware versions? That may provide some troubleshooting info to help us guide you.

Edit - try this link to clear the “TFT in Listening Mode” issue…

Excellent! That worked!

I had been having other issues, so I assumed this was a symptom of the initial issues I had been having.

Glad that it solved your issue! If you click on the “Solution” button on that post, it will flag it as helpful for future readers with a similar issue.(and get me one step closer to another forum badge). Cheers!
