Anybody know how I would interface a TFT touchscreen to a smoothieboard?
Saw the post, do not know what code he has altered to allow connecting via UART to smoothieware/board
Cool. I know I can hook up a small TFT touchscreen to my MKS SBASE board, but I am getting old now, and want a large screen to make it easier to read. Something around 7" would be perfect.
You could get a raspi and a tft screen for a raspi, and run octoprint or laserweb on it.
I used the serial debugging pins for their UART. I need to set it up somewhere else so that I can run a debugger though. As Arthur said you could also run a raspi and Octoprint (although I think you need the Octopanel port as there’s not enough overhead left on a Pi, but that might not matter with Pi 3)
