The BTT mainboard is not required for this screen to work; it can be used with stock boards. You can use it in marlin mode with only the display ribbon cables connected. If your board has a serial port, you can connect the TFT to it as well; just keep the pins in mind. The screen simply sends GCode in TFT mode, just like any other terminal interface.

So cool. I can access calibration and tuning using the old-fashioned mode, and I also have access to the advanced touchscreen features. Set REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_CONTROLLER as the LCD screen type in Marlin. br>br>Note: connection to a Tango 1 by Bigtreetech When EXP1/EXP2 cables were plugged into the ribbon cable according to the keying, 0 worked properly. The Tango does not have a TFT mode. The keying on one end of each cable had to be removed, and one end of each cable had to be rotated, in order to connect to a makerbase mks gen L. When the screen stays blank and rotating the encoder reboots the display, it's time to swap it. br>br>For TFT mode, use the tft header (5v/gnd/tx/rx) and run reset to the icsp header's first pin.
The Ender 3 Pro now has touch screen control, which is a nice addition. The LCD screen was slightly off center, which was the only drawback. As seen in the illustration. There were lines where the board should have been mounted on the bottom of the board. I'm not sure if this is the case with all boards or if I just got a dud. br>br>Updated on September 1, 2020: The vendor contacted me and offered me a replacement board with a screen that was centered. This new one has made me very happy. As a result, I've changed my rating.
This is the screen that the SKR 1 prefers to use. BigTreeTech has four boards. It performs admirably and offers a wide range of options. The only drawback is that the firmware that comes with it is not open source. My advice is to update it to the most recent available firmware with your preferred theming and graphics, then run it in "Marlin mode" (12864 compatibility) the majority of the time, which gives you direct control over Marlin rather than acting as another serial controller like it does in touchscreen mode. br>br>While touchscreen mode provides convenient control over movement, babystepping, and other functions, I believe legacy Marlin mode displays more relevant information at any given time, but you can switch between them at any time. br>br>If the firmware was open source, I would give it 5 stars. It'd be nice to know that the code could be maintained by the community after BTT moves on to the next product generation.
So far, this has been a fantastic addition to my Ender 3 collection. The touch screen is excellent, especially after a calibration cycle, which can be found in the settings menu. Because it's a drop-in replacement, it'll be easy to use. However, one would think that they would have rotated the pin-up screen in place of the Ender 3 screen. check for a ribbon cable that matches the original's orientation. To get it to work, I had to clip off the connector's keyed tab and insert it backwards. Better documentation is unquestionably required; I only learned how to do so thanks to a YouTube video by Teaching Tech. The downside is that the firmware isn't yet ready. It's still a lot of fun, but it's still a lot of work. Trying to adjust temperature settings from the touch screen while printing has resulted in several failed prints. For the ESP-32, there is a wifi input. Even though BTT sells the wifi adapter with it in some cases, the functionality of the 01S arduino board has yet to be realized in firmware. The ESP-100 is available for purchase. For the same price, you can get an 01S and a USB programmer adapter, and you won't have to wait for BTT to finish writing the firmware for a product they already released. Bottom line: if you're not prepared to deal with the firmware in its current state, don't buy this.
If you think it'll be easy to install, don't buy it! I've spent at least 20 hours on the internet and am still unable to connect the touch mode on the tft35 to my bigtreetech skr v1. You'd think it'd be documented, especially since those items are sold as a set. There is nothing on YouTube that can assist me in connecting the tft35 to the skr 1. I haven't asked on Bigtreeteck's Facebook page yet. The pinouts for the skr 1's tft. 3 as well as skr 1. When comparing them in the documentation, number 4 is different. In some cases, plugging things in the wrong place or in the wrong order can cause the board to fail; however, I believe I have everything set up correctly, but I still get the message "not connected to printer. ".
However, it now functions perfectly. I've made some changes to this review. I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and it was definitely not a plug-and-play situation for me. I couldn't get past the launch screen because a mounting screw near one of the power pins was causing problems. It was solved by removing one screw. Despite the fact that all pins are designed to be used on the skr1, they are not all compatible. 3. It would only boot properly if the reset pin was removed. The screen is also slightly off-center, which isn't a major issue but is annoying. It's fantastic once those three things are taken care of. I really like the sleek dark marlin screen, and the touch screen has a lot of useful controls. For the price, and for someone who wants a touchscreen but prefers the simplicity of the stock screen, this is ideal; most people have better installation luck than I did, so hopefully my experience was an anomaly.
