RepPanel - A DIY alternative to the PanelDue with WiFi support

@PCR Count me in for one, 2x20 pins would be helpful
send me details of how to pay and cost of shipping to 96744 USA -
@PCR Count me in for two. Please let me know an estimate of shipping to 60515 USA. Thanks for doing this!
-
Tempting; whats the deadline?
-
Orderd some with extra spares! Hopefully my tracing is right. Will write when they are here!
-
Yes, I'm interested
-
ATTENTION I tested the PCB. The Screen freezes after some time. I suspect a Software Problem. I am using RRF 3.2. So this could be the problem due to oiverloading etc. If someone smarter than me could look at the code it would be awesome! Till then buy at your own risk!Edit: Solved. You need atleast one filament file on the duet
Drop me a PM if you want one! It comes without the ESP Modul, without the GPIO Header/Paneldue, without the Display --> Blank PCB
PCB 4€
GPIO and Paneldue header 1€
ESP32 preflashed 8€ ( i could not use the ESP32 Lolin lite because of not enough pins)
Display you have to buy yourself
-
The PCB with the Display as a .STEP. If someone wants to make a Case!
-
Finally got this going, thanks to @PCR s PCB -- very nice. Accidentally invented the sandwich design where the ESP32 sits between the PCB and the display -- makes for a sleek setup. I'll look into making a case for this (-:
I think I need to do two or three things to the code to make this cover my use case -- babystepping during printing, ordering of macros (at least show the numbered macros first like on PanelDue), and maybe one or two other things (-:
-
@oliof Great to see you finally got it working. I agree on the macro/job ordering thing. Shouldn't be a big deal.
I do not think I'll invest the time into implementing babystepping. Once you dialed the bed in you really never ever need babystepping in my opinion.
-
@seeul8er I might take a stab at it, some of my printers aren't holding their level super well.
-
Got distracted ....
Will print a first version tonight...

@oliof Nice. What CAD software are you using?

@droftarts I am currently
fightinglearning FreeCAD. -
@oliof Ahhh, I thought it didn't look like Solidworks or Fusion 360. FreeCAD is on my list of things to do. Did you compile yourself, or are you using one of the releases? Windows, Linux or Mac? (I've heard the Linux version is the best?)
Sorry for thread hijack!

@DIY-O-Sphere a reset button would be easy -- connect a digital pin, send M999. Doesn't even need a GUI change. Rotary knob would likely require extensive changes.
I now need to design the back (with a cutout for the power button for the eventually added lipo battery
-
@DIY-O-Sphere Buttons are no big deal implementation wise. I thought long about the rotary encoder but ultimatly think it contradicts the use of a touch screen. When would you really want to use it? Maybe during bed leveling, but thats it.
As far as I remember the framework I am using supports something like that, however I will not spend the time on implementing it. The use case is just too small . -
@seeul8er I am personally a fan of rotary encoder -- much easier to input precise numbers if you have one that supports acceleration control. Maybe I just like clicky buttons.
Somewhere I saw something like RepPanel, only for 12864s ... would be great to merge those things and have choice of control frontend (-:
-
@seeul8er said in RepPanel - A DIY alternative to the PanelDue with WiFi support:
When would you really want to use it?
I would like to use that for adjusting values or scrolling through a file list.
For me a combination of a touch menu and an encoder is the perfect solution on small screens.@oliof
I love the 12864 of my Maestro.
