As I mentioned in my post about the Bambu Lab P1S the control panel leaves a lot to be desired… I also mentioned I might try the xtouch controller, and I did, and it works great.
You can grab the code from the xtouch GitHub repo and if you’re lucky like I was it’ll just freaking work on the first attempt. I say this only because I joined a Facebook group for the xtouch and like all Facebook groups there seem to be a number of people who just cannot get things to work. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up.
By the way, these “Cheap Yellow Displays” were recently covered on Hackaday in the post “Cheap Yellow Display” Builds Community Through Hardware which is worth a look if you have other ideas.
I printed this Bambu Lab P1P/P1S/X1C Touch Screen Desk Stand (xTouch) and I have it sitting on my desk for now as a remote monitor. I’m not even sure I will attach it to the printer as most people seem to do.
My only gripe is that it doesn’t do more, but it sounds like that’s not really the developers fault, and they are working on improvements and limited to what the printer can do via MQTT but honestly for an open source project on this cheap hardware (I think mine was under $13 USD) it’s a nice addition.
