Introduction

This page is reserved for documentation relating to adapting popular LCD controllers such as the reprapdiscount.com RAMPS LCD controller, to work on the RAMBo boards by UltiMachine. You will find all the instructions needed here to modify the cables, firmware and more to get your LCD controller working.




PDF instructions

Attached is a document which details how to connect the reprapdiscount LCD/SD to the Rambo board. Eventually I'll fill put this info straight into the wiki rather than a PDF, but this should work for the time being.
