Help Configuring Marlin (Sorry to ask!)

Hi.

With earlier versions of Marlin I didn't have much problem setting it up for my machine. I have a standard list of config mods. (below) that I do and that would be all.

(Copying config.h from one version to a later one doesn't compile lately)

My last 3 attempts over the last 2 months just end up with a blank (but illuminated) LCD and no ability to talk to it via Pronterface. I keep thinking I've 'bricked' the controller but the old version goes back on ok.

I keep going thru the files to see if I'm missing anything.
Is there any recent subtle changes to it that I may have missed? Setting a language or something?

This is what I do with previous versions . . .


config.h

uglib added

64 #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_RAMPS_13_EFB

125 temp s 0 - now 8
THERMISTORHEATER_0 == 8 thermistor tables.h

186 #define DEFAULT_Kp 18.97
#define DEFAULT_Ki 1.17
#define DEFAULT_Kd 76.91
294 #define COREXY

prevent dangerous extrude commented out 248
xtrude min temp commented 252

298 def corexy


351 define min software endstops set to false
352 define max software endstops set to false
348 #define INVERT_E0_DIR true was false
368
define X_MAX_POS 305
#define X_MIN_POS 0
#define Y_MAX_POS 210
#define Y_MIN_POS 0
#define Z_MAX_POS 260
#define Z_MIN_POS 0

491 define homing feedrate was 50*60 now{120*60, 120*60, 12*60, 0}

513 emax was 25mm/s now 50

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {160,160,3200,148.66}

#define EEPROM_SETTINGS

#define EEPROM_CHITCHAT

597 #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
642added #define ENCODER_PULSES_PER_STEP 4
#define ENCODER_STEPS_PER_MENU_ITEM 1


cofig.adv.h

90 define endstops only for homing -add comments to undefine

// Feedrates for manual moves along X, Y, Z, E from panel
#ifdef ULTIPANEL
#define MANUAL_FEEDRATE {50*60, 50*60, 6*60, 60} // set the speeds for manual moves (mm/min)
6 was 4 -Z

335#define ABORT_ON_ENDSTOP_HIT_FEATURE_ENABLED uncommented
-------------------------------------------------------
pins_ramps_13.h

#ifdef REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER
#define BEEPER 37

#define BTN_EN1 31 NOW 33
#define BTN_EN2 33 NOW 31
#define BTN_ENC 35


-------------------------------------------------------


There's been a couple of changes this year that year that I could do with having.

Please make me look dumb by pointing out some obvious error! Any suggestions?

Thanks

Alan

Hey, I can make myself look dumb, thanks.

Think it was;

579 #define LANGUAGE_INCLUDE GENERATE_LANGUAGE_INCLUDE(en)

in configuration.h that I had to uncomment, is all.

I had a sneaky feeling about that. It wan't in earlier configs.
