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:

- TFT32 = 3.2" screen
- TFT28 = 2.8" 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.

Compatibility

- MKS Base
- MKS Gen
- MKS Mini
- Creality Mainboard >=2.0 (m2560 w/ extra serial header)
