    Search the forum. That is commonly called the Full Graphics LCD.
    There is a one line change to the Firmware and link in an extra library.

    The Rep-Rap Discount LCD does not require those changes, but is less functional.

    Ok that's the arduino software. But I'm talking about the robo firmware. I've read A million post and just get lost because no one states if they downloaded they robo firmware performed the mods and then flashed the robo. Or if u modify the firmware on the robo and save the changes

    You download the firmware for your printer.
    This will be what Robo installed
    You modify it
    You reload it with the Arduino IDE

    You can't alter the firmware in-place on the Arduino, nor can you easily make a copy of it.. it is cross-compiled binary.
    You need to use the Arduino Source at the link above.

    It does work thats what I had originally.

    You have to modify one line in the firmware though. With Arduino like posted above.

    also pretty sure this video explains it step by step.

    No problem, I bought that exact controller last year that you bought on amazon.. and I used that video from NoviceExpert to set it up.it works even though his controller is not exactly the amazon one you linked..but it works. Eventually mine crapped out and I bought the XL controller from printed solid. Although I hardly use it now.. now I use a raspberry pi 2. and octoprint.
