Is it possible to connect a touch screen LCD to a ramps 1.4
If so did it run the encoder ?

Repetier firmware now supports the PanelDue colour touch screen, so I guess the answer is probably yes, although I don't know if anyone has tried it yet.

DC42, I just upgraded the paneldue firmware to 1.13. I noticed when I first boot up the screen of the PanelDUE there are 4 icons. Home, Y Home, Z Home and X home. However, once the system starts up, 3 Icons disappear and only the Home icon is left. How do I get the icons back?

Your firmware appears to be reporting to PanelDue that it is configured as a delta printer. If it isn't then I suggest you raise the issue with the devs of whatever firmware you are using.

You can check what the firmware on your controller board is reporting by sending M408 S3 to the board from your PC and looking for the 'geometry' field in the response.
