Re-ARM supports the following LCD displays.
- Panucatt Devices Viki2 LCD
- Panucatt Devices mini Viki LCD
- RRD Full Graphic Smart LCD
RRD smart LCD, Viki1 LCD and other non-SPI LCDs are not directly supported and requires an adapter as described here

Panucatt Devices Viki2 and mini Viki
These displays plug in directly to the Re-ARM board using the cables that come with the display.
If using the Viki2 universal cable, follow the color scheme using the wire colors below.
Edit your config file on the Panel section to look like this. Save then reset board to accept the changes. Best Contrast setting for mini Viki is 0 and 8 for Viki2, adjust as needed.

RRD Full Graphic Smart Display
The Re-ARM board supports the RRD Graphic display by using a special cable that splits the V+ supply line of the display to supply the required 5V. This is necessary since the RAMPS now runs on 3.3v. This cable replaces the EXP1 cable, it is included if you indicated that you have the said display.
Here are other 5V pins you can use for the single wire, marked as RED Squares.
