Now that I have added full support for the 5 inch display to PanelDue, I thought it was time to look at alternative 5 inch displays.
The one I tested with is the ITBD02-5.0 here [imall.iteadstudio.com]. The price is $44 + $6.43 shipping, + any import VAT you get stung for. Shipping to the UK takes about a week.
There is another 5 inch display here [www.ebay.co.uk] and here [www.ebay.co.uk]. The price is about GBP21.50 including shipping, plus import VAT if you get charged it (sadly, the basic price of the display is a little over the UK import VAT threshold). These are the same suppliers (possibly both the same supplier?) that provide the alternative 4.3 inch display that works with PanelDue. I expect this one to work too. Like the alternative 4.3 inch displays, the connector is on the side instead of at the bottom. The only uncertainty I have about it is that if it takes much more than 300mA from the 3.3V supply to power the backlight, then the 3.3V regulator on the PanelDue may get rather hot. The Itead display runs from 5V, so this does not apply.
I have around 20 PanelDue boards left. I understand that Think3DPrint3D have a few complete kits including 4.3 inch display left too.
Here are some pics taken with the 5 inch display. I would be grateful for suggestions on how to improve the layouts and/or make more use of the graphical capability of the display.

1. I have confirmation from a customer that this display [www.ebay.co.uk] also works with the PanelDue...

Has anyone had success on Marlin via RAMPS1.4?
Been using Repetier-Server and a tablet, but its a bit of a faff and this looks much better.

As far as I know, nobody has added software support for it in Marlin yet.

David,
Does the panel Due work withe the Duet 8.5 boards. I am about to buy this board and want to make sure this works. I am in the process of completing my build of a core XY with a ramps board, but want to upgrade it to have the panel due on it.

I am pleased to announce that manufacture of my touch-screen controller for the Ormerod has commenced.

PanelDue is not SPI based. Even low res mono graphics LCDs such as the 12864 place a substantial load on the main processor. A high res display with 16-bit colour such as the ones that PanelDue supports would need about 500 times the amount of data to be generated by the main processor and transferred over the SPI bus. This is totally impractical. Therefore, PanelDue has its own 32-bit processor to drive the display. It uses async serial comms to the main board, which also allows much longer cable lengths than for SPI or I2C based displays.

You can reduce the cost of a PanelDue setup by.purchasing the control board from me or Filastruder, buying the display direct from China via eBay, and making the cable yourself (I include connectors with the board). Naturally, a complete kit of board + display + cable purchased in Europe or the US will cost more.

The choice of processor was driven by the following factors:
- Enough pins to drive low-cost touch screens having a 16-bit parallel interface.
I started off designing it around a ATmega32u4 with an extra 8-bit latch to provide more output pins, but it quickly became clear that it provided insufficient flash and RAM. That's when I moved to the ATSAM3S2B. It would be possible to use a more complex firmware update procedure involving uploading new firmware through the serial port via the main board, but that would require even more support in the main board firmware, which I want to avoid. The processors costs me about £2.60 each in quantity, so there isn't a very great saving to be made anyway.

FYI I have never had to pay UK import VAT when buying these displays one-off from China.

Dear David,
Great work as usual! Do you still sell the 4" display+board? What is the price for shipping to India (pin code; 700033)? I was thinking of upgrading my OM2 (with Duet v0.6) with a touch-screen solution.
Thanks
Sumant
