How to install the latest version of the Marlin firmware to your printer
[ Ссылка ]

Remember to install the U8Glib library in your Arduino IDE
This can be done by going to the menu "Sketch-Include Library-Manage Libraries" and then searching for U8Glib in the searchbox. Then click on the U8glib entry and hit the "Install" button.

Enable line numbers in the Arduino IDE by going to the menu "File-Preferences" and then check the "Display line numbers" checkbox. Hit "OK".

Open the Marlin.ino project and then click on the "Configuration.h" tab to edit the configuration file.
First got to approx. line #1573 (may be a bit different depending on your version of the firmware). Comment out the line "#define ZONESTAR_LCD" by using double slashes // in front of the line.

Then got to line #1755 and uncomment the setting "#define ANET_FULL_GRAPHICS_LCD".

Save the file and then upload the firmware to your printer
