Question on adding support for new display (need advice; not an issue) #5

Open vivian-ng opened 5 years ago

vivian-ng commented 5 years ago

Hi, I was trying to see how a new display can be added to Marlin when I came upon this fork. Can anyone provide hints on which files need to be modified or reimplemented in order to add a new display? Specifically, I am trying to see how feasible it is to mod the M5Stack (a microcontroller product using ESP32 and an ILI9341-based TFT) into a 3D printer controller, and the first wall that I hit was that the M5Stack uses code based on ILI9341, while Marlin's LCD displays are implemented using u8glib.
