Display modification

Hi,
After checking out the GitHub repository, I noticed that the printer’s screen connects with MKSClient, and I haven’t seen any code related to the screen to add functionalities (like filament change, for example), modify them (like adding more materials for preheating), or change its appearance.

Can KlipperScreen be used with the current screen?

Thanks

At the moment there is some source, but also various components are missing. I would be happy to help get some of the sovol changes into the (real) open source tree, but @sovol3d really needs to put energy in open-sourcing all of the components including the MKS parts. This goes beyond the display. In the light of Bambu and other competitors goi…
