RepPanel - A DIY alternative to the PanelDue with WiFi support
-
@appjaws put the ip of the duet manually in if you can!
-
@PCR tried that the screen shows 192.168.001.069 and reprap password is reprap

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?)
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.- 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.
-
In sum there my be up to 40 but they are in 2 folders
-
think 16x max
-
And I have just seen, that directories are not supported
-
@taconite That is not true. Directories are supported with max 16 entries

While trying to start the ESP32/PCB and attached touch screen the monitor window shows that the touch panel is found but there is an error whille trying to read from the device. What could cause this?

@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!
