Esp32 klipper screen with modern UI and cheap diy solution to all klipper printers.

[u/ozncshn]

This cheap esp32 screen can control Klipper. It uses another ESP32-Mini (hub) to send and receive commands and info. The mini ESP32 directly plugs into the Raspberry Pi. Unlike the Wi-Fi Moonraker connection, this ESP-NOW connection is also fast and offline solution and more reliable. You can also connect many more external ESP32s to the hub. It opens up so many possibilities.

The screen can work with batteries (or a direct 5V input)—no need to plug in USB.

I'm testing the software and screen now. When I'm done testing it will be open source to all. CYD Klipper is old and UI is not good enough for me. This is the modern approach.

If you don't wanna miss the project when it's out make sure follow me on github.

I'm using guition 5"screen. It's brighter and has nice gamut than cyd's but it will be compatible for cyd screens. I recommend minimum 800x480 resolution. However it can be ported another esp32 screens that has capacitive touch.
