The specific screen that would work with the mini-rambo board in the mini is apparently very difficult to find. I personally see no point in bothering. Put a raspberry pi running octoprint or astroprint on there, and use the pi to run an LCD if you really want one. I just use a computer and/or my smart phone to control it. ---

I had not even thought of using a smart phone to control the mini. What software are you using with that? ---
