Smart Adapter
Based on bkubicek idea here on the forum, we realized this device.
Description
This Smart Adapter contains a SD-Card reader, an rotary encoder and a 2004 LCD. You can easy connect it to your Ramps board.
After connecting this panel to your Ramps you don't need any more your pc, so the Smart Adapter supplies also power for your SD card. Further more all actions like calibration, axes movements can be done by just using the included knob on the Smart Adapter. Print your 3D designs without PC, just with a g-code stored design on the SD card.
Schematics
As firmware we used Marlins' sources, to update the firmware in the future you just need an Arduino board, so you are good to go ;)
