# RPi-ATX-LCD-Breakout
This board allows you to connect an ATX power supply and a HD44780-compatible LCD
2017-06-12 20:52:31 +00:00
screen to your Raspberry Pi (or others with compatible GPIO layout).
While it does have a 40pin GPIO connector, it will also work with older
26-pin variants of the Pi.
The board was created to provide a convenient interface for two

[Octoprint](http://octoprint.org/) plugins:
[PSUControl](https://github.com/kantlivelong/OctoPrint-PSUControl) and
[LCD-HD44780](https://github.com/Kunsi/Octoprint-LCD-HD44780) (See links on
bottom of this page).

The board itself offers a variety of features:
* Powering the Pi using +5VSB (standby power)
2017-06-14 20:31:09 +00:00
* Switching the PSU on and off using GPIO pin 12
2017-06-12 20:52:31 +00:00
The GPIO pin can be connected to PS_ON directly, or via a transistor. This is
choosable using the three-pin jumper switch.
Alternatively, the PSU can be forced to be on, by using the 2-pin PS_ON
jumper.
2017-06-14 20:31:09 +00:00
* Providing a "is the PSU on"-detection by wiring GPIO pin 11 to the 3v3 rail
of the PSU
2017-06-12 20:52:31 +00:00
* Connecting a character LCD to the Pi
LCD is wired as follows:
<dl>
<dt>Register Select</dt>
<dd>15</dd>
<dt>Enable</dt>
<dd>16</dd>
<dt>Data 4</dt>
<dd>21</dd>
<dt>Data 5</dt>
<dd>22</dd>
<dt>Data 6</dt>
<dd>23</dd>
<dt>Data 7</dt>
<dd>24</dd>
</dl>
Data 0-3 pins are not connected. Read/Write select has been wired to GND, so
it's not possible to read data from the LCD screen. Contrast pin is
connected to a potentiometer.
* Allow connecting of two fans, one 5V, one 12V
* Providing screw terminals for GND, +12V, +5VSB and +5V
* Providing a USB outlet powered by +5VSB
Note: All pin numbers use BOARD numbering.
