makerbase tft lcd board pinout made in china

If you want to change some function or add new function and so on, you can refer to MKS TFT source code and build it, update it to MKS TFT, Link as below:

I figured I would put this here because I’ve seen more than a couple threads where this has been brought up. Yes, there are TFT touchscreens that work with GRBL. Here is what I have personally tested…

MKS TFT touch screen includes TFT24/28/32/35/70, which can be connected to the motherboard for control via AUX-1. Support Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Russian, Spanish and more...

The TFT connects to the DLC and the RAMPS boards to AUX1 via an 8pin ribbon cable. You cannot use this cable to connect to the CNCshield board due to the different pinout. You need to either make a custom cable, or just use 2x2, or 4x1 Dupont cables. You would connect to the 5V and GND, and the TX/RX pins on the header above the end-stop header.

From what I have experienced, when using the TFT, you cannot have the USB COM connection in use on a connected computer because they share the serial line. You can have it plugged in, but not have any software connected to the COM port. Doing so causes random, unexpected comm errors and will usually cause your running job to fail. Now I think the RAMPS stack has multiple assignable serial ports, so that may work.

Since the CNCshield sources 5V from the USB, you would have to use the USB as a power source, or connect 5V to the board another way. And, if you thought ahead to avoid ruining the VR on your cheap MEGA2560 and removed the D1 from your RAMPS board

The TFTs have icons for homing, setting home, axis movement, spindle/LASER ON/OFF, spindle speed/LASER power, relative feed rate(%), SDcard file access, and also has slots for custom commands you can add by editing the config before loading the firmware to the TFTs.

But there are many options for the Gcode sender. I am looking at trying Candle which Michael mentioned since it seems really clean and light weight. Also you can try the UI by Openbuilds called Control. That looks to be developed by Peter van der Walt for Openbuilds. Peter originally created laserweb along with others back in the G+ days if I recall. But really any Gcode Sender will do the job. Really once the CNC is running unless you need to Estop, or adjust feedrate it is pretty hands off. Also an MKSTFT has the option of connecting to the MKS DLC with MKSTFT-CNC, so you can even jog to Zero position via the LCD, Set Zero, and Start the code running entirely from the screen no PC required.

China"s first 8.5-generation TFT-LCD production line was launched in Bengbu, East China"s Anhui province, on June 18, 2019, representing a breakthrough in the production of high-definition LCD screen, Science and Technology Daily reported.

TFT-LCD, or Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display, is key strategic material of the electronic information display industry. The Gen 8.5 TFT-LCD production line, launched by the Bengbu Glass Industry Design and Research Institute of the China National Building Material Group, will produce high-definition LCD screens of 55 inches, the report said.

According to the Liquid Crystal Branch of the China Optics and Optoelectronics Manufactures Association, the demand for TFT-LCD in the Chinese mainland was about 260 million square meters in 2018, including 233 million square meters" Gen 8.5 TFT-LCD. However, the annual supply of domestically made TFT-LCD is less than 40 million square meters, with all of them Gen 6 or below, which cannot meet the demand in scale and quantity.

The association predicted that China"s market demand for Gen 8.5 TFT-LCD or above will exceed 300 million square meters by 2020, accounting for 49.6 percent of the total global demand.

The production and control precision of Gen 8.5 TFT-LCD is comparable to that of the semiconductor industry, representing a higher level of large-scale manufacturing of modern glass industry.

The institute in Bengbu, with 60 years of expertise in glass, has finally made a breakthrough in the production of Gen 8.5 TFT-LCD, and will provide key raw material guarantee for China"s LCD panel industry after it goes into mass production in September, the report said.
