Any recommendations on a budget LCD screen.
November 07, 2014 01:22PM
I'm trying to shop for an budget LCD screen with sd card reader for the Sanguinololu. Any recommendation on one which will work best, with the least amount of headaches?

I've found these 12864 graphical models for about $18, which are supposedly compatible with sanguinololu with a small adapter.
[www.ebay.com]
but documentation is somewhat slim. There is a page here that I found [reprap.org]
however in my research users are having issues getting it to work. Apparently you may need to change firmware on the screen, it may or may not only work with marlin, etc. You probably need to change firmware settings on your reprap, but can't find good documentation. Theres just not much info, and i don't want to get involved with a big headache right now.

Then there are these non graphical 2004 models for about $15
[www.ebay.com]
but similar to above, I don't know if they work easily, or need a ton of tweaking, firmware updates, etc.

All my searching just doesn't bring up much detailed info. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good budget LCD / SD reader?
