<p>Ok guys I got it! It really was just what is the <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/a/6044/5740">answer</a> in the other question (<a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/6030/connecting-anet-a8-2004-display-to-mks-gen-l">Connecting (Anet A8) 2004 display to MKS GEN L</a>)!</p>

<p><strong>My problem was:</strong> I used jumper cables and some duct tape to hold them together ... and <strong>the only issue was, that I didn't insert it enough</strong>. I got mad today and just pushed them really hard more into the AUX2 connector and it suddenly works!</p>

Yeah, it's always a good idea to push the connector home firmly and fully. :-) I'm glad that you solved your problem.

<p>So I have read this question, <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/6030/connecting-anet-a8-2004-display-to-mks-gen-l/6044#6044">Connecting (Anet A8) 2004 display to MKS GEN L</a>. </p>

<p>That looked so easy, so I rewired the connectors and switched the VCC and GND pins. In the Marlin firmware I disabled the <code>MKS GEN L</code> display and enabled the <code>ZONESTAR_LCD</code> and <code>ULTRA_LCD</code>.</p>

<p>Yet when I run the printer, I only get the fully white rectangles. Is there anything else I have to do?</p>

<p>I have a compilation warnings now, because the <code>ZONESTAR_LCD</code> redefines some of the pins that <code>ULTRA_LCD</code> sets, but I guess that is ok. Could it be caused by still including the <code>U8glib</code> library? Do I have to also remove some constant regarding this?</p>

# Anet A8 display on MKS Gen L board

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-17)

So I have read this question, [Connecting (Anet A8) 2004 display to MKS GEN L](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/6030/connecting-anet-a8-2004-display-to-mks-gen-l/6044#6044).

That looked so easy, so I rewired the connectors and switched the VCC and GND pins. In the Marlin firmware I disabled the `MKS GEN L` display and enabled the `ZONESTAR_LCD` and `ULTRA_LCD`.

Yet when I run the printer, I only get the fully white rectangles. Is there anything else I have to do?

I have a compilation warnings now, because the `ZONESTAR_LCD` redefines some of the pins that `ULTRA_LCD` sets, but I guess that is ok. Could it be caused by still including the `U8glib` library? Do I have to also remove some constant regarding this?

Ok guys I got it! It really was just what is the [answer](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/a/6044/5740) in the other question ([Connecting (Anet A8) 2004 display to MKS GEN L](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/6030/connecting-anet-a8-2004-display-to-mks-gen-l))!

**My problem was:** I used jumper cables and some duct tape to hold them together ... and **the only issue was, that I didn't insert it enough**. I got mad today and just pushed them really hard more into the AUX2 connector and it suddenly works!
