Fork of this for those cheap color LCD panels? #3

I know that an issue may not be the best thing for this, sadly I'm not a programmer but the same thing for those cheap Amazon/eBay color LCDs which connect to the GPIO pins of the Pi would be neat! That way you could even control the whole printer just from the Pi without connecting to the website first! :)

Hello,

You are right this is not the best place to do that but who cares ? Gimme a good ref for this kind of lcds (under 20$), or send me one ! I own a dagoma magis printer (no screen !), and a bunch of 16x2 lcd displays are boring on my drawers, It's why i wrote this plugin. Cheers.

Hi,

I have these two:

Those are definitely not the best ones out there but they'd do the job just fine when the buttons on screen are big enough :)

Awesome! If you want I could help design the UI of that screen then a bit, I'm good at making designs but not so much at programming them :)
