Colour Display

RAyWBRAyWB
in Display & Keyboard

Hi,

as i mounted the Repetier Server Display Close to the Graphic Display i think there is a "cosmetic" need to act.

As i saw Gameduino Display (SPI) implemented  which takes Graphics computation load i´m thinking of the

Nextion Displays (UART) ?

Connection should not be a Problem as most common boards have more than one Serial port.

Has somebody tried/made something like this? think it might be Close to PanelDue.

Thanks for any comments

    We had started with this, but the display quality was so bad and it would also require a full new menu handling just for that display, so we skipped the development in favour of other solutions like using server display.

    well, the one i have looks nice  may be they improved.
    Anyway, is the Gameduino2 working?

    2 Years ago yes, but menu was very incomplete. Just some testing code to talk with the display and test.

    Ok,thanks so I´ll play play with the nextion  , but i think that will end up in a rewrite of the UI.
    May be that would be a solution for a config without controller , just sending commands over Serial.
    So i will be complete user defined, nothing for general implementation.
    Think I´ll let you know when i get a running system, as you know my main intents are from CNC side ;-)

    BTW, got my heaters / Fans controlled over the I2C now , works nice
