Tft32
TFT32
These resistive touch screen ARM based units indirectly control a 3D printer via gcodes sent via a serial interface.
Available under several different names, indicating the touch screen size:
- TFT24 = 2.4" screen - TFT32 = 3.2" screen - TFT28 = 2.8" screen - TFT35 = 3.5" screen - TFT70 = 7.0" screen
Capabilities
Functions as touch-screen "head end" to your printer. With a suitible wifi interface, you can access the serial port via wifi.
Usage
There is no "printer side" configuration required, other than having a spare serial interface and knowing the correct baud rate and "flavor" of gcode (Marlin, Repitier, Smoothie).
Firmware
No changes on the printer firmware are required, but the screen has it's own firmware.
