Reversing Repetier firmware encoder direction

Post by dbarrans »

Once I got the LCD up and running with Repetier firmware, I saw the encoder knob direction seems backwards. I saw a comment here about UI_INVERT_MENU_DIRECTION, so I tried toggling it (all three of them, in case I got the wrong one), and it appears to have no effect. Should I be looking somewhere else?

In the firmware, look for a page called uiconfig. There is a signal called menu direction invert. You need to flip flop the true/false setting on this line.

That did it. Thanks for the quick answer. I saw the same #define in ui.h; I wonder why it's defined in both files?

That does it for menu navigation, but not the values that you can raise and lower. For example, if you use the speed or flow multipliers, the invert direction doesn't seem to apply here. Does anybody know where to change this part of the firmware?
