Check the radds post too, lot of us will have interest and already have the lcd , we already have the display pinout figure out since radds can use marlin and repetier and the graphic lcd already work on those , all we need really is the software part of it for RRF, so we can beta test your software like right now without any extra connector needed. You will off course have to talk to Dan Newman so he can include it in his radds .bin for RRF.

> Anyone thoughts, suggestions on it?
Please take the following with a grain of salt as I do not know the display on e.g. marlin.
Yes I would be very much interested in something like this! I would like to be able to:
- Select G-Code file from SD-Card for printing
- Adjust Speed and extrusion multiplier
- Pause / Restart

What I am making is an adapter for the Duet's panel connection, which is a serial interface. It sounds like you are looking for the support the DuetWiFi will have. It has the two 5x2 headers the display connects to on board.
But from what I am told, that will be supporting the PanelOne, which is texted based.

A radds is not a duetWifi... its a complete other board that also run RRF... it also have serial interface and also is panel due compatible but it also have the common LCD pinout right on the board , LCD 4 ,5 ,6 7,RS,EN and even , beeper, enc_A, enc_B, enc_P.
There no need for adaptor for it, only the software for RRF is require I guess, Using SPI or directly the lcd pin should work on that board

Hi,
Im' using RADDS, and I'm very interested by your solution.
My LCD screen was configured like this :

I was on Repetier. the LCD worked great with it.
I've switched to RRF (1.13): only the SDCard reader and the reset switch are functionnal.
Do you have a layout of your RRD Graphic Display ?

I think I have a Geeetech too, sadly never was able to use it when I was running RAMPS on my delta, but it would be nice learn more about your project.
Definitely don't care for the Marlin interface, I have also had trouble with the encoder the one or two times I attempted to use it (too many clicks, reversed, etc...). What kind of area does the screen support for mocking up display ideas?

I think the Duet 0.6 only supports 1x extruder and the 0.8.5 2x extruders, If more extruders were to be used, how would your board interact with the add-on board?

It would only display 3 of the hot ends if you used the add-on board. Just not enough space on the display for all the information. Using smaller fonts would be possible, but the legibility is really bad.

Sorry, didn't explain my comment right. Would your board be a pass through board for the Duet extension board? That way both boards could be used together, thus allowing more than 3 extruders. Also, I thought the Duet Wifi was going to have a different pin out pattern, but I could be wrong.
One more question, how will the display board be controlled? Is it being compiled into the firmware? Added to the DWC? Or would it be an extra set of code on the SD card? What about adding a few pins for controlling LEDs or RGBs (?). I think it would be nice to have some LEDs turn on only when the printer is active as opposed to always powered on with the printer itself. I also considered using RGBs so that you could have maybe one color while the hotend is warming up, another during the print itself (standard white for time lapse), and then another for when the hot end or bed are above a certain temperature but otherwise the printer "appears" dormant. Should clarify I like the idea on paper, just not sure if it would be worth the cost over simple LEDs.
