The smart controller is easily able to connect to your ramp’s board using the smart adapter, which is included. It contains an SD-card reader, a rotary encoder and a 20-character x4 line LCD display. The benefits to using a smart controller are that you don’t need a PC to connect to the microcontroller.  The SD card is powered by the smart controller with a g-code design stored on it allowing you to print your 3D designs.

The smart controller also allows you do actions like calibration and axis movements by using the rotary encoder on the smart controller. The rotary encoder is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to an analog to an analog or digital code.
