Keypad for RAMPS
May 29, 2012 05:01PM
I have designed a PCB to allow control of RAMPS with a keypad.

Features:
9-buttons to control your printer: Left, right, up, down, mid, 3 function keys ( F1,F2,F3 ), enter
a rotary encoder
D66 and D65 are broken out
Hooks up easily to your RAMPS AUX-2 port
41 x 109mm board
Cool black design
screw holes to mount the board

I am pretty pleased with the results. Only problem left is to get Marlin to support it. Marlin wasn't designed to support this easily. Anyway, I published a Marlin version on the wiki that at least configures a lot already.

Are there design files which are readable without proprietary software, for example a PDF of the schematic and the layout?

I have released the Designspark files and a image of the PCB on the wiki.

I will upload a pdf with both later today.

As promised, I have uploaded a PDF with the schematic.

Also have I have written a short assembly instruction.

Thanks for the PDF, brupje. Interesting idea with this shift register!

I have added info to the wiki on how to enable the keypad for Marlin. The menu system can be used with the rotary encoder and enter button.

Also I have uploaded a video on to show the menu system. It's no great detail movie, but shows something at least winking smiley
