Do not use this Firmware yet if you dont know what you do. It's unfinished and has bugs.

# Mods in work:
- [Complete menu rework](http://imgur.com/VQiZ4BC) (50% done):
- [New leveling assistant (base work by nepeee)](http://i.imgur.com/D5bKZYu.png)
- [Overhauled move menu](http://i.imgur.com/48AXclL.png)

- LCD Brightness Control (change the brightness of the lcd)
- LCD "lockscreen mode" (lcd dims after some time and first touch "wakes" it again and doesnt activate buttons. No more accidental print interupts!)

# Mods Planned:
- Multiple preheat profiles with different temperatures (hotend/bed)
- Subfolder support for sdcard

Printer Firmware:

Download Arduino 1.6.4 from the [arduino website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/OldSoftwareReleases). (Doesnt compile with newest version)
Connect printer to pc. If you have trouble with drivers look [here](http://3dprinterwiki.info/wiki/wanhao-duplicator-i3-plus/wanhao-i3-plus-documentation-factory-files/ch340x-driver-information/).
Load Marlin.ino with Arduino. Select Arduino Mega under Tools->Boards.
Check the sketch with the ✔ button. If no errors show up upload the sketch to your printer.

If anything goes wrong, you can get the stock firmware files from [here](http://www.wanhao3dprinter.com/FAQ/ShowArticle.asp?ArticleID=79)

# Disclaimer

I'm not responsible for any damage done to your printer or lcd.

# Things i noticed:

It looks like there are different versions of the screen in circulation. Mine is "DMT48270M050_06W". [But i found screenshots of others with different versions](https://i2.wp.com/3dprinterwiki.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/IMG_8041.jpeg). I think they should all be compatible, but if it's not working on your screen, this may or may not be the cause.
