|
Enables the panel interface module. Panels provide a screen, an encoder wheel and/or a set of buttons, used to control your machine without requiring a computer connection. When enabled, the panel module initializes the LCD driver, configures input devices, and registers for system events to display machine status and accept user input. If disabled, the panel module is completely removed from memory. |
||
|
Specifies the type of panel connected to the Smoothieboard. Each panel has specific interface and driver requirements, so the correct panel type must be set. The value determines which panel driver is loaded and initialized. Different panels have different pin requirements, button configurations, and display capabilities. |
||
|
Selects which SPI channel to use for panel communication. The Smoothieboard has two SPI channels with different pin assignments. Channel selection affects which physical pins are used for MOSI, MISO, and SCLK signals. Most panels use channel 0 by default. |
||
|
Specifies the CS (Chip Select) pin used to select the panel device on the SPI bus. CS allows multiple devices to share the same SPI port by activating only the selected device. When CS is low (active), the panel responds to SPI commands; when high (inactive), the panel ignores SPI traffic. |

|
Pin for the back ("escape" or "cancel") button, which returns to the previous menu level or cancels the current operation. On Viki2 panels, this pin may be used for either back button or pause button functionality. |

|
||
|
Pin for the buzzer, which provides audio feedback for button presses and alerts. Some panels have a built-in buzzer that requires this pin to be configured. |
||
|
Pin for the red LED on Viki2 panels, which typically indicates heating status or errors. Only available on Viki2 and similar panels with status LEDs. |
||
|
Pin for the blue LED on Viki2 panels, which typically indicates cooling or idle status. Only available on Viki2 and similar panels with status LEDs. |
||
|
If using a Viki or SSD1306, this pin drives the C/D (Command/Data) pin on the display. It distinguishes between command and data bytes in the SPI communication. |
||
|
If using an SSD1306, this pin is sometimes required and connects to the reset pin on the display. The reset pin is used to initialize the display controller. |
||
|
If using the The universal adapter uses this pin for daisy-chaining multiple devices. |

|
X (Alpha) axis jogging feedrate in millimeters/minute, used when jogging from the panel screen. Adjust based on your machine's capabilities and desired jogging speed. |
||
|
Y (Beta) axis jogging feedrate in millimeters/minute, used when jogging from the panel screen. Adjust based on your machine's capabilities and desired jogging speed. |
||
|
Z (Gamma) axis jogging feedrate in millimeters/minute, used when jogging from the panel screen. Typically slower than XY jogging, for precision and safety. |

|
Temperature to set the hotend to when using the pre-heating menu item on the panel — a quick-access, one-button preset for heating to a commonly used temperature. Set this to match your most commonly used filament type. |

|
Temperature to set the bed to when using the pre-heating menu item on the panel — a quick-access, one-button preset for heating to a commonly used temperature. Set this to match your most commonly used filament type. |
||
|
Set to Enables an additional SD card interface beyond the onboard SD slot. |
||
|
Set the SPI channel the external SD card is on. This must match the SPI channel used by the panel if they share the same SPI port, or can be a different channel if separate. |
||
|
Set the CS (Chip Select) pin for the external SD card. This allows multiple devices to share the same SPI port, as long as each has a unique CS pin. |
