Gen4 Interface Firmware

Created by

Created on Jan 6, 2012

Request: If you use this firmware, please take the time to click on "I Made One" with a picture of your bot or lcd.

This firmware took approx 2 months to write / test and is time I've donated to make the Gen 4 LCD Interface what it should have been.

Because this isn't something printable, the best appreciation you can show for this work is to encourage others to use it by keeping it on the Thingiverse front page. Thanks to those who have done this already.

This is a major Motherboard firmware upgrade for the Gen 4 LCD Interface, to enable true standalone operation.

Supports: ThingOMatic, Cupcake, Reprap and Others.
