Review on BIGTREETECH Mini12864 Graphic Display Prusa I3 by Devin Girard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Connected to SKR 1.4 Turbo

Display/Controller works right out of the box for Big-Trees SKR 1.4 Turbo. Well, I would rather say that the connection is direct. After that, nothing will happen in this phase. Just make sure you have the right EXP connections. Setting it up in Marlin takes a bit more effort. but there are others who figured it out before me. Just check the big tree support pages for this ad. They describe what must be included in Marlin. After building it, I liked it. The character is crisp even to my old eye. One more note: if you have NEO Pixel LEDs connected to your printer controller, there is one more thing you need to do. It must be redirected to the GRB secondary in Marlin. So far I've only found white for work. The display itself performs the startup sequence. So I guess the LED strip isn't really needed unless you want to make sure all the colors work there too. In theory, any color should work since it's part of white. It looks like the updated display firmware is TOP SECRET. So how do you need to contact the BIG TREE service to get the link? However, the outline drawing is annoying. Yes, you can construct a case out of it, but you'll need to do additional measurements yourself. The drawing is of little help, especially when it comes to positioning the encoder shaft hole and reset button. I designed the front case for my Bear Prusa with a Big-Tree 1.4 Turbo controller. So far I haven't had any problems. Just an annoyance, after a reboot the selected color goes back to the default (orange or red), I really can't tell them apart.
