How to use it
Hook it up to your RAMPS AUX-2 port. Configure your firmware to use the keypad. Currently no firmware will support it, but here is a Marlin version that has come a long way: File:Marlin.zip
1. If your RAMPS board was produced without, you will need to solder a 2x5 header on the AUX-2 port of the RAMPS.
2. Create a cable and put it on the keypad
3. Put the other end to the RAMPS board. Make sure to put it on correctly, pin 1 on the AUX-2 is the same as pin 1 on the JP1 of the keypad. So if you align the RAMPS and keypad, you should have a straight cable.
