Interesting. Be sure to report back after a while to confirm whether or not the series termination resistors solved your garbled display problem. I'd try the fix myself, but I've eliminated the nibble transfer display as part of migrating to Smoothieboard on my i3v.
Technically, the bulk of the benefit is likely obtained by adding the termination resistor in the E signal line to the display. IIRC, that is the signal that is pulsed to latch each nibble data transfer into the display module. Ringing on any other pins likely wouldn't matter as long as they're stable when the E pin is pulsed, but there's no reason the termination can't be added in all the data lines. Also note that some of the data lines (encoder, SD reader) on the two cables are driven by the smartpanel and not the ATMEGA2560.
I don't really think that the screen get garbled due to timings or ESD.Last edited by printbus; 05-29-2015 at 11:24 AM.
Please explain to me how to...
