    Greetings All,

    I've ordered the PCB and ESP from @PCR. I'm looking at the BuyDisplay.com page, and want to confirm some selection items before ordering.

    • Pin Header or FFC connection for the 4-wire SPI?
    • Power Supply Type (3.3 or 5.0V)?
    • Font chip (instructions say one isn't needed, but there is no selection for no chip -- so would any of the selections work?)

    https://www.buydisplay.com/lcd-3-5-inch-320x480-tft-display-module-optl-touch-screen-w-breakout-board

    Also @PCR - you mention needing 2 20-pin male connectors and that you were thinking of including them... Did you include them, or should I source those elsewhere?

    Thanks!

    John

      Sounds wrong: Leading zero is not valid in IPv4 I think. Try 192.168.1.69. Make sure there is no space in front of the password and IP.

      @JohnOCFII

      • Pin header for PCRs PCB
      • 3.3V (5V works as well but not with the PCB of PCR as far as I remember - just a wiring thing)
      • Just select nothing for the font chip. Leave it to the page default --Please Select--. However font chip or not should not make any difference.

              Changed the ip to 192.168.1.69 but the RepPanel is still not showing the printer.
              Upon further investigation, looking at the connections to my router, my printer is not shown. This is very strange because the printer works perfectly, controlled by my computer or phone.
              So it appears that the RepPanel can't find the printer because its not listed.
              Any ideas why the Duet is not listed on the connections page of the router whilst all other connections are shown?

              PLEASE IGNORE THE ABOVE

              RepPanel is now working, the problem was that in config I did not have " " around Machine name - M550 or password - M551
              As soon as I corrected this everything worked, although The printer is still not shown on the connections page of the router.

              I am very happy Thanks to all

                      Today the display arrived and together with PCR's PCB it was just plug an play. Unfortunatly not everything is working:

                      • Macros are not loading
                      • Multiple tools are not working (even if there is a little arrow besides Tool 1)

                        How many macros do you have? There is a fixed limit.

                            think 16x max 😉

                                @taconite That is not true. Directories are supported with max 16 entries

                                    @KenOlo "Found touch panel controller" just indicates that the FT6X36 driver is being inited. It does not say anything about a successful init. If you can not read from the device there is no connection.
                                    I get that the message is not 100% clear at this point.

                                    I suggest you check your connection and if you got the correct display

                                      @seeul8er Found the problem. My touch panel was configured for 5v, some soldering on jumper JP and it's now configured for 3,3v. Problem solved and it works perfectly!

                                        Greetings All,

                                        I'm trying the initial setup of the RepPanel and the PCB from PCR. After getting some of the ESP software installed, I was following the instructions, and plugged in the RepPanel, and realized that it came with the software already installed!

                                        I'm now trying to configure it, and getting stuck. I think I'm on my network, as I see my router handed out an IP address to the RepPanel, but the WiFi signal indicator is sort of orange, and one the screen shots I see here, it shows as green. Also, when I enter in either my Duet's DNS name or IP address, I get no indication it has connected. Also -- I don't have an M551 Password on my printer, so I assume I can leave that field blank?

                                        Also - my password has a space in it, and it is really difficult to tell if the space was accepted as you have to scroll down so far to get the space bar that you can't see the WiFi password field. Not sure if this is an issue for me here or not.

                                        Thank for any guidance.

                                          @JohnOCFII Sorry for the late reply. An orange Wifi icon indicates that you are connected to the Wifi access point but RepPanel has not gotten any response from the printer yet. So you are not connected to the Duet.

                                          I never tested it without a Duet password. Try using a password if you keep getting stuck. Maybe the implementation expects one, I am not sure.

                                          The keyboard in general is a bit tricky I know. Since you only use it during the initial setup I kind of did not see a point spending too much time on improving it.
