The Ender 3 display is based on the open Reprap screen design, but includes a header called EXP3 that allows for communication with a single cable. This header communicates with the display over SPI, but the documentation I could find online was sparse and conflicting. I verified the pinout and created this graphic to document this header’s pinout.

This display uses the ST7920 controller. The arduino library u8g2 has support for it.
