Description

Key Features:

✔ Compatible with RAMPS 1.4 & Similar Boards – Plug-and-play integration with Arduino Mega-based 3D printer controllers.
✔ 20×4 Character LCD Display – Large, backlit screen for easy readability (supports 4 rows × 20 characters).
✔ Built-in Rotary Encoder & Button – Navigate menus, adjust settings, and control prints without a computer.
✔ I2C or Parallel Interface Options – Reduces wiring clutter (I2C version uses only 4 pins).
✔ Backlight Adjustability – Customize brightness for low-light environments.
✔ Sturdy Metal/Framed Mounting – Securely attaches to printer enclosures or control panels.
✔ Marlin & Repetier-Firmware Ready – Works seamlessly with popular 3D printer firmware.

Applications:

• 3D Printing – Monitor extruder/bed temps, print progress, and SD card files.

• CNC Machines – Display G-code commands, spindle speed, and axis positions.

• Robotics & Automation – Provide user interface feedback for custom projects.

• DIY Control Panels – Build interactive dashboards for Arduino/RPi systems.

How It Works:

1. Connect to RAMPS Board – Plug into the EXP1/EXP2 headers (or I2C pins if using the simplified version).

2. Upload Firmware – Ensure Marlin/Repetier is configured for LCD support.

3. Power On – The display shows temperatures, SD card files, and system status.

4. Navigate Menus – Use the rotary encoder to adjust settings or start prints.
