      Anyone ever see the Manga screen 2 before? I followed its kickstarter. It's from the creators of the beaglebone board. Would there be a possibility of it working with the Duet?

        I've got one. The 5.9" version along with a Replicape board. They are sitting on a shelf until I decide what to do with them. They just aren't up to the task for operating a 3D printer. They work okay but need a lot of refinement to come anywhere close to the features a duetwifi has.

        The Manga screen works with HDMI input and the touch part works with UBS. I'm sure you could rig up the Manga screen onto a Beaglebone black and connect it to the Duet through the UBS but the outcome would cost more than just buying a panel due or a simple tablet.

            Officially I'm not saying it is good or bad. ☺

            The screen is nice. But the firmware development is way behind... Way behind....
